Harry Wright ,   UK   (08.24.11)
92. To: No. 87
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.24.11)
I'm American, and I agree with the article in its entirety. You, of course, are perfectly free to remain completely ignorant and in a fool's paradise, mightily rowing away in your dinghy.
93. #53
Al Lacey ,   Maple Park USA   (08.24.11)
#53 No cheers for his total silence and passing on the oppurtunity to at least give verbal support to Iranian dissenters?
94. Assumptions can be made
Jackie ,   Florida   (08.24.11)
If you reread the speech Obama made in Cairo right after his inauguration, you can understand what he is doing in the Middle East fits right into his agenda. I will ignore for the time being how he has wrecked the US economy by his uncontrolled spending and his constant violations of our constitution. It's enough to say that we elected a Muslim-loving inexperienced economic socialist who loves the perks of the office, but has no idea of its responsibilities
95. To No. 77
Jackie ,   Florida   (08.24.11)
It is an alias that Obama used on internet sites. Incidentally, it is being erased as fast as his aides can do so.
96. According to most of these talkbacks . . .
noa ,   israel   (08.24.11)
You all love to be lied to, screwed over and suckered. George Bush made so much money off the likes of you. I get it. As long as he acts simple, you like him.
97. #77. Google it and you'll get than you were looking for
Harry Wright ,   UK   (08.24.11)
98. President Carter
Robin ,   Merion USA   (08.24.11)
Carter was not only a bad president, he was also a bad man. It was long after his presidency that he showed his true anti-semetic/anti-Israel feelings. He kissed Arafats behind. He deserves to choke on his peanuts.
99. What a bitch & moan session
Cameron ,   USA   (08.24.11)
His reign draws to an end. Calm yourselves with that fact..
100. Disaster in Chief
NevadaMom ,   Nevada, USA   (08.24.11)
Pray that he stays on the golf course -- where he will do less damage. The 2012 elections can't come soon enough!
101. e warned and warned the Americans
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (08.24.11)
By the 2008 election,Britain had suffered 11 years of disastrous New Labour government,mostly with Tony Blair as PM.That government left Britain broken economically and a broken society and we could see it in 2008. Many,many of us in Britain took any opportunity we had to warn the US electorate that we could clearly see that Obama is another Tony Blair and what would be in store for them if he were elected. Of course,they were dazzled by Obama like Britain was dazzled by Blair in 1997 and ignored us like lemmings.Well,we were right,100% and they have nobody to blame but themselves for not looking further than the end of their own noses. New Labour,new danger. New Labor,new danger. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
102. #87 - an American? I thought you moved
seadog1946 ,   Arthur Kill, NJ   (08.24.11)
to Israel to be able to service a larger variety of off-duty IDF veterans.
103. #102 - oops... should be pointed to # 92.
(08.24.11)
104. Talking to yourself Seadog / 102 ?
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.24.11)
How funny. I don't think IDF vererans would find you the least bit attractive. I suppose you can give it a try though. Let us know how it works out for you.
105. You got it!
Doug ,   USA   (08.24.11)
Obama is aloof and pathetic. He has been a nightmare for the USA and everything he touches crumbles. I'm hoping my fellow citizens will wake up and not vote him in for another 4 years of impotent leadership, backwards ideas, and unrealistic expectations. His ability to win the election, though, is proof that in America, there are too many who will swallow whatever is fed to them. Wake up! Think for yourselves! Do some research into those you elect into office! Nobama in 2012!!!
106. Perhaps Obama's getting exactly what he wants?!
michael redbourn ,   arad israel   (08.24.11)
Islamic extremists taking over many Arab countries and a highly weakened America. I was writing anti-Obama articles back in October 1978 ourchangingglobe.com/obama-and-the-missing-paper-trail And have long since wondered if everything is going according to his plan.
107. obama
sas ,   israel   (08.24.11)
he is so BAD for the USA n the world. Maybe after the earthquake he sholud not return to Washington????? A blessing in disguise. Whatever the man touches he ruins.
108. pres.Obama is trying to fix P.Bush disasters
redsea0 ,   israel   (08.24.11)
Did you forgot the economy crisis that P.Bush develope all over the world and the recession that we stiil feel it ? Did you forgot that the foregin affairs in his time make the U.S.A one of the most hateful countries in the world? Did you forgot the lies to the american people and to the world about the invation of irak? Did you realize that the world in his time has become more violent and inpatient and less tolerant and secure? P.Obama is trying to fix all this and its a very difficult task, specially when the repub.put sticks in the wheels of progress, as the medical insurence issue. DONT FORGET MOST OF THE REPUBLICANS LOST A LOT OF MONEY DURING BUSH ADM. I think that your opinion is based especially in racist claims.sorry for you.
109. I hope voters in America heed this!
moshe ,   jerusalem   (08.24.11)
110. #108...scary..
Malone ,   Hfx   (08.25.11)
You're exactly the type of imbecile that got this clown elected. I think you should read more about what he is doing to the country and the world.
111. Obama
Eric ,   Phila. USA   (08.25.11)
Fully support the President. This author wants us to throw money and lives at every problem spot imaginable. Already in 21/2 wars don't need/ can't afford any more.
112. #90. Most Americans know Obama is a disaster.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.25.11)
#90. It is hardly anti-American to speak the plain truth about Obama. Most Americans are painfully aware Obama is an absolute disaster. Living in Obama's America, they are well aware America has never suffered such sustained high unemployment since the Great Depression. They know Obama has trashed the once mighty U.S. economy. They know Obamacare is an unconstitutional disgrace. That is why Obama's approval rating is a dismal 39% and still sinking fast. By the end of Obama's term, he may well test Olmert's approval level of 2%.
113. #38 mark bj TOO LATE TO HIDE
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.25.11)
Mark, I love when you write, such laughable twaddle The sky fell almost three years ago, when Obama became President After his spending 4 TRILLION DOLLARS (that's TRILLION WITH A "T") his promising to improve the economy, reduce unemployment, in which he's been a total failure in both U.S. Congressional Budget Office said today that Unemployment will stay at 8.5%, at least through 1912, and you should know, they seem to be a bit optimistic My folks in the USA tell me that supermarket & clothing prices are skyrocketing, when Obama took office, gas was less than $2 a gallon, now it’s around $3.50 or so Your government seems to think you can't govern yourselves, all those new regulations, including Obamacare that have been and are being shoved down your throats I understand that Michelle Obama has decided what children’s diets should consist, of McDonald's has been coerced into changing their menu to satisfy her demands, while both she and her husband, gorge themselves on Cheeseburgers and French Fries, which Michell had said she was addicted to That’s a real fabulous vacation that the Obama’s are taking, she couldn’t wait for him, she took a separate jet so that she could arrive four hours before he arrived at the luxury vacation spot, all at the expense of the American Suckers, like you P.S. See your Hero's ratings, they get worse each and every day, and this is the guy that's leading the USA down the garden path as if he were the Pied Piper of Hamelin
114. #102 SEA DOG - We know why you
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.25.11)
have a boat, your own personal portable cathouse, meandering from place to place to keep up with your trade
115. 112 Ben Jabo - So Funny
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (08.25.11)
I might have gone with McCain but for Palin and his promise to stay in Iraq forever, and his lack of a clue what to do about bin Laden, and his wanting Phil Graham for his Cabinet. The sky fell when Bush was in office. Now, we are almost out of Iraq, not in Syria, not at war with Iran. And the end of Libya is in sight, with the end of the chief planner of the Lockerbie and Berlin bombings. We are also starting to get out of Afghanistan. Nonetheless, I might vote for a Republican if a sane one wins the nomination and promises no involvement with the Neocons or Americans for Prosperity or the Club for Growth crowd. With Republicans in Congress keeping up as they have, we probably will have less than $2.00 gasoline as the world again enters a depression to rival the 1930s. It may even go back to what it was when I was a kid @ 32 cents a gallon.
116. # 49
Reid McNellage ,   Mobile, AL. USA   (08.25.11)
It is the single most devastating thing in our country, The American hating POTUS and the Idiots who continue to support his dismantling of our great nation. It will take the next president at least two terms to undo one tenth of the damage that he has caused.
117. Disaster Called Obama
Mark ,   Tenino, Washington   (08.25.11)
Why are you surprised? Didn't you listen to his speeches during his campaign? Remember the "Civilian Security Force just as powerful and well funded as the US military" he said he would form? You probably don't even remember he said that, you were just "duh duh duh change". Look it up on You Tube. Vote for Ron Paul
118. Another idiocy....President George Bush?
NuritG ,   Los Angeles Californ   (08.25.11)
The man who forced Israel to return Gaza? Whose Secretary of State 'Condi' Rice was chearleading Hamas? Who loved/loves the Saudis? [How much money they shtooped him with?] The man who wrote the "Road Map" who never, ever uses the word Jihad?
119. Americans are as naive as Obama.
Daniel ,   Los Angeles, USA   (08.25.11)
My fellow countrymen empowered Obama. Americans are now largely sheltered and foolish. History has shown: this won't last. We get crazy-mad when awakened from our slumber. Brace for our nuclear response and pray to God you're living upwind.
120. obama
sas ,   israel   (08.25.11)
should go on early retirement SOON. he is simply ruining everythig there is to ruin - not only in the USA but around the world.
