31. Thanks, I wish you exactly the same as you do in your hart!
tom ,   tel aviv   (09.27.11)
32. So is anyone buying this BS?
Kalmen ,   Miami, FL   (09.27.11)
This man is about as committed to the state of Israel as Ahmedinajad
33. to 4
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (09.28.11)
Who knows , maybe the Saudis will chop off Obama's hand for thieving. But then again ,being Arabs, they may toss him a billion or more if he kisses the king's ring.
34. Nice Message: Hope He Meant It.
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (09.28.11)
I really do. Even so, Gallup confirms that if Mitt Romney went head to head against Obama in an election today, Romeny would lead by double digits, with or without the Jewish Vote. Perry would lose, so would Paul, Palin or Bachman. Only Romney or Guliani could handily defeat Obama. And this is a year out. It will only get worse. I honestly think that Obama truly thought the world would be more receptive to his ideals but got completely lost when the world turned out to be infested with sharks. Would he do better in a second term? Definitely. But no one honestly has the time to gamble on it. It will be Romney or Guliani. Get used to it.
35. Can you feel the Love?
Maxwell ,   USA   (09.28.11)
Obama has been disrespecting Israel and support Palestine from day-one, in fact his first phone call as US President was to Abbas. He tasked NSA with reaching out to Muslim nations and wants Israel to withdrawal to the 1967 borders. Now as Obama seeks re-election he's again pandering to Jewish Americans and Israeli American supporters, don't be bitten twice by the same snake.
36. Cleaning up
Skip ,   Minnesota, USA   (09.28.11)
You're all mistaken. This address was not to Jews, but to janitors.
37. #30. Obama wants support from foolish Jews.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.28.11)
#30 Michael. You are correct that Jews make up less than 2% of America's population. However, no group has been more (mistakenly) loyal to the Democratic Party than Jews since the 1930s. These days, American elections usually turn on small numbers of voters. Moreover, Jewish financial contributions to the Democratic Party are enormous. More than Jewish votes, Jewish financial support is highly coveted. As for winning the votes of anti-Israel Americans, they are a rather small constituency. Don't kid yourself, Michael. Obama hates Israel but he wants as much support from foolish Jews as possible.
38. cautions need for all demoncrate presidents
(09.28.11)
look at peanut jimmy and horny billy...
39. WHO and WHY?
ANONTDH ,   Johnstown   (09.28.11)
WHO CREATED ISRAEL? and Why on Arab/Muslim/Palestinian land? EXPLAIN?
40. OMG
Terry Moore ,   North Pole USA   (09.28.11)
What a phoney liar Obama is.....he will say or do anything to be re-elected...Boot this bumb out of the White House....donot trust this communist fake.
41. Special Messages
chachito ,   SLC, usa   (09.28.11)
Will he be sending a special shout out to the Mormons for Conference Weekend?
42. Tomahawk in Libya was more sensere about man's intentios.
Miron ,   USA   (09.28.11)
if it wasn't for Israel's nuclear shield those wouild be flying in Ierushalaim the moment he was swearing in office.
43. 20 years in a church that hated Jews
Thomas ,   USA   (09.28.11)
This man has no shame. He attended a church of Black Liberation Theology for 20 years. Look up videos of Reverend Wright ( Obama's church) and what he says about Jews. It is one of many outright lies from this man. He traveled the world apolarizing for the USA. I apologize to Israel for our president.
44. Frum and for Obama
SammyTT ,   Brooklyn   (09.28.11)
I voted for him before and will again. Those on this forum and in the media trying to make an enemy of Obama are misguided and hurt Israel in the long run. Support for israel has always been bipartisan in the U.S. Attacking Obama is shortsighted. And deep down, I think he is a friend to Israel despite the rude and awful nature of so many who choose ignorance over Emet. Read this week's New York Mag article, "Obama: the First Jewish President."
45. Obama Is No Friend To Israel
Rowdy Boots ,   Wycombe, USA   (09.28.11)
This pathetic and hollow reach for more Jewish Votes is finally the TRANSPARENCY he promised during his election campaign. AND THEY SAY THAT MIRACLES NEVER HAPPEN!
46. SAY IT IN JERUSALEM, you fraud!
Al Assqis ,   Arizona, USA   (09.28.11)
Ob*ma has been in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Indonesia... etc. etc. When will you go to Israel as president? You just want Jewish $$$ for your election. You suck.
47. A story that belongs to a funpaper.
Shalom ,   U.S.A.   (09.28.11)
48. #5 Chaim
Shalom ,   U.S.A.   (09.28.11)
You hope, I don't. The vast majority of the american jewish community will vote for Obama, a liberal jew doesn't care about Israel or the economy, judaism, Jerusalem, jewish history are meaningless for them. The Torah is replaced by the NY Times, etc. They are half educated snobbish waste, driving Mercedes or BMWs and they are jewish when invited for a Bar Mitzvah party. Let's hope that I'm wrong.
49. obama's new years wishes
rea list ,   miami, fl   (09.28.11)
deeds, not words. talk is cheap.
50. Liar
Mike Stevens ,   Atlanta Ga USA   (09.28.11)
Do not believe any utterance from this Charlatan.
51. Dont buy it
Mike ,   Enid OK USA   (09.28.11)
While Clinton is calling plan to build new settlements on your own land counterproductive. Obama will throw Israel under the bus as soon as he can. Its election time and thus time to cater to the Jewish base. His statements cater to the group he’s speaking to. One moment he is trashing you the next shining you on. This is all a show if you buy into it you will feel foolish when he flops back in his actual heart felt direction.
52. He really meant...
ConJob ,   Houston USA   (09.28.11)
Obama got confused again. He really meant to send out a Janitor New Year's Greeting, not Jewish New Year's greeting.
53. Show us the college papers
rbblum ,   Houston, TX USA   (09.28.11)
Sure would like to know what is in Obama's college papers in order to get a true read as to what his belief system consists of.
54. What exactly prompted you to vote for Obama, #29?
Cameron ,   USA   (09.28.11)
Curious as to motivation. I saw nothing but a bloody damn mess looming if he took office, and so it has been.
55. Fool me once....
Brodik ,   NY   (09.28.11)
Anyone that believes anything that comes out of this "mans" mouth is a fool. Based on his past performance of actions vs words what he actually means is "I hate you and your new year means nothing to me".
56. Here's a few things he did for you.
(09.28.11)
57. Really?
Bran ,   USA   (09.28.11)
Act of sheer desperation!
58. Thanks So Much for the Greetings . . .
Karan ,   S.F. CA, USA   (09.28.11)
Obama. You have brought us so much joy and cheer for this Rosh Hashana. My husband just lost his job of 23 years due to budget cuts. So we don't even have an unemployment check yet to celebrate with. Oh, and I bet that his "Ramadan Greetings" to the American Muslims, were equally "meaningful" and "touching" . . . eeewww, I just threw up a little in my mouth.
59. to 39
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (09.28.11)
Nothing to explain.Israel is not on Arab or ersatz "Palestinian " land.There is no country called Palestine.You obviously have not read what is going on in the UN.Also ,if you were a little bit wiser ,you would ask your computer who created Israel.
60.  to 58
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (09.28.11)
I pray that Hashem will help you and your family.
