1. So the 2012 reëlection campaign has started.
Charles ,   Paris, FRANCE   (09.27.11)
2. Really committed...
Marcela Araújo ,   Brazil   (09.27.11)
3. Just need...
Marcela Araújo ,   Brazil   (09.27.11)
... to tell my parents about this US-Israeli commitment...
4. Well, isn't that special?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.27.11)
Do you suppose he understands that the Jewish people do not like him, do not trust him and do not believe in him? What do you suppose is the best way to demonstrate our disdain for the "American" president and tell him we are cutting off the money? Perhaps he can raise additional funds from the Saudi king, whose ring he kissed, a year and a half ago. Good luck with that one. He might stand a chance, depending on how many solid gold faucets have been installed in Saudi palaces. Because, after all, that is the chief item on the Saudi agenda.
5. Obama has no choice but to wish Jews well.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.27.11)
I sure hope there are very few American Jews dumb enough to think Obama likes them because he sends them holiday greetings. Obama has no choice but to wish Jews well. After all, words cost nothing and Obama's support among every American sector (except Moslems) is falling like a rock off a cliff.
6. Louis Farrakhan rev. Jerimiah Wright, Barak Hussein Obama
David ,   NJUSA   (09.27.11)
Black Anti Semites
7. I am not impressed
Nathan ,   New York   (09.27.11)
Canned statements expressed in a meaningless fashion.
8. He along with his wishes arent worth a plug nickel
aL   (09.27.11)
My wishes along with the wishes of well meaning Jews around the world are worth the world. Happy New Year Israel and G-d bless.
9. Too little too late... Obamanation
Peter ,   Australia   (09.27.11)
There is nothing Obama can do to rectify the damage he has done to the jewish cause.. but should keep on trying
10. Sorry Obama, you dont do it for me..You made a mess of ME in 30 months
Alan ,   SA   (09.27.11)
11. .......................
Julie ,   LaPorte,Indiana USA   (09.27.11)
Brown Noser !!!!!
12. As my mother would say
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (09.27.11)
He can "shtip his greetings in tuches"
13. the clown prince
Harry ,   USA   (09.28.11)
Obama is a clown - speaks out of both sides of his mouth. What do you suppose he is saying to Hamas?
14. united nations organisation
sjoerd ruurd van der ,   mankindship   (09.27.11)
the us and every nation with an un membership should be committed to eachother and to the un.
15. A sweet new year will be one where Obama isn't president
Zionist forever   (09.27.11)
שנה טובה לכולם
16. Obama
Bob ,   Trenton USA   (09.27.11)
I guess we should be happy he didn't give us the sole of his shoe, like he did to Netanyahu early in his administration.
17. That's a kind gesture
Mike Jefferson ,   Washington, D.C.   (09.27.11)
We can only hope that the good Lord has opened Obama's hardened heart and that the feelings are genuine. But the Jewish people demand that his deeds echo his words. We'll see...
18. then get out of usa - no Loyalty at all anyway
paul ,   america   (09.27.11)
19. Obama
Samuel ,   Brooklyn, USA   (09.27.11)
Way to use a seasonal message as a medium of advancing your political talking points.
20. Obama has no right and is a hypocrite
LEnny ,   USA   (09.27.11)
Hey Obama you have no right... you try to make Israel Defenseless because you hate jews... Its obvious...
21. Another lecture from Ø
Jewish in NYC ,   NYC, USA   (09.27.11)
Just what we need on RH, a lecture from the "former muslim" / Rev Wright Chickens-R- Roosting Appeaser-In-Chief on what the New Year means for Jews. Here's an idea: Stick to playing golf and maybe you won't do so much damage!
22. Never understood.
hymieg ,   somewhere,somecounty   (09.27.11)
Being Jewish myself, I have never understood why Jews support the Liberal agenda. The Dem's have never been Israel's friend. Our current POTUS seems poised to throw Israel under the nearest bus he can find in the middle east.
23. Look up!
Mike ,   Palm Harbor USA   (09.27.11)
1 Thessalonians 5:3 New King James Version (NKJV) 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
24. Solid with Israel
David Mitchell ,   Anna Maria, USA   (09.28.11)
Thou shall not bear false witness.
25. "As Jewish tradition teaches us ..." Us?!
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (09.27.11)
And just where did Obama learn what Jewish tradition teaches? Meanwhile, the US State Department today declared itself "deeply disappointed" that Israel approved more housing in the Jewish neighborhood of Gilo, deeming the decision "unproductive". Jewish tradition deems Jerusalem the Jews' eternal city. Guess Obama didn't learn that lesson.
26. DO NOT TRUST OBAMA
William Penn ,   Philadelphia, USA   (09.27.11)
People of Israel and American Jews: for 32 months Obama has shown his true colors regarding Israel. Now, he needs the American Jewish vote, so he mockingly panders to you as though you are stupid. Every American Jewish vote for Obama is a missile into Israel's heart.
27. ?????????????
steve ,   usa   (09.27.11)
And he should be!!!!!!!!!!!
28. Can Obama fool the Jews?
Ruth ,   Schenectady, U.S.A.   (09.27.11)
I certainly hope the Jews are smart enough to realize Obama is doing this to try to get them back for funding his campaign. He does not really care about the Jews. He is just trying to hold unto his voting base!!!
29. Sorry I voted for him.
Gary ,   Marietta, GA USA   (09.28.11)
Hussein
30. #5 - his words cost him a great deal!
Michael Redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (09.28.11)
I don't like Obama and have written anti-Obama articles for around 3 years. But when he praises Israel this way he loses the confidence of many Islamic countries around the world and also lose the votes of anti-Israeli Americans. Jews are less than 2% of America's population.
