1. A bit crude for me to say I know
Henry from New York ,   USA   (11.10.11)
But even with that cinnamon broom in my room, I can smell the BS coming from the White House nearby.
2. Obama-Israel
john ,   Chino, USA   (11.10.11)
Only Obama did not say that "I am following Nentanyahu's orders to run white house.
3. In fact, Sarkozi & Obama were cought with their lies!
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (11.10.11)
So much for Sakozi's double-speak about supporting Israel at UNESCO - so much for Obama's Arabesque of saying something to the press and what he says behind the scene. This has squat to do with Bibi.
4. Thank you, Obama, but we, Jews, have had enough of you!
Deb J. Gold ,   Boston, MA USA   (11.10.11)
5. If our President treat our best ally this way,
John J. Dunn ,   Cleveland, OH   (11.10.11)
why should we, Americans, have any trust in his ability to handle matters of international affairs properly?
6. Obama's true opinions about Bibi have been revealed
Canadian lawyer ,   Toronto   (11.10.11)
All the rest is spin.
7. Yes, the President is committed to Israel--
Kayla ,   Florida   (11.10.11)
committed to throwing Israel under the bus.
8. Obama sarkozi
Joseph rahamim ,   Norwood ma.usa   (11.10.11)
9. Obama sarkozi
Joseph rahamim ,   Norwood ma.usa   (11.10.11)
So what else is new the arrogance &chutspa of know nothing world leaders never ceases to amaze.they could nt hold a candle to bibis finger
10. GARBAGE! Congress loves Israel, not Obama.
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.10.11)
11. Obumma
Dennis ,   NJ   (11.10.11)
Obama is a jerk and I'm embarrassed that he's our leader. This feeling grows more and more as each day passes.
12. The only reason Obama kept the relationship alive...
Vlad   (11.10.11)
Is to win the Jewish vote. If he wins a second term, Obama will show his true colors. If the Palestinians had probably waited till his second term, Obama would have by now been supporting "Palestine" in its UN bid.
13. There he goes again...
William ,   NJ USA   (11.10.11)
President of the USA Barrack Hussein Obama continues to make it clear that he has two faces on every issue. The American people should not stand for this insult to the greatest office on Earth any longer. Bibi says it like it is; any one in doubt, please see his speech to the UN on Sep. 23, 2011. Obama says it like it isn't. And there is not enough space on the page for the myriad examples of this fact. Here's to which ever Republican wins the '12 nomination.
14. Enough grovelling!!
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (11.10.11)
Neither Sarkozy nor Obama said anything bad or incorrect. Netanyahu IS a sleazy liar whose only value in life is self-interest. There is no need to regret what was said nor apologize. If anything, they should have said this in public, in full view of the cameras and mics.
15. Potentially very damaging to Obama
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (11.10.11)
Obama needs the swing state votes. This could hurt his re- election campaign. Netanyahu should and probably will make it clear to Obama, that what counts is the relationship between the countries and not this kind of private pettiness.
16. Sarko and Oblabla
A ,   Belgium   (11.10.11)
Sorry, guys. Even serious presidential butt kissing wont undo the damage you've done. "security cooperation with Israel" "very close working relationship" "president's commitment to Israel," Too late, whatever you say now will be considered typical political BS. Enjoy the taste of foot in mouth, losers.
17. Sarkozy/Netaniahu
jeanne derison ,   quebec   (11.10.11)
stupid and arogant.......
18. for once sarkozy and obama say the truth LOL
deutronomy 28 ,   world   (11.10.11)
19. Obama had USA NOT veto key UN decisions=obama BAD
Hippocrates ,   Earth   (11.10.11)
for the Jewish State. also his comment was a death sentence for trust and "deep working relationship" with Israel. Bibi should speak with congress and romney instead of obamas AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
20. the difference between a strong/weak politician
tiki ,   belgium   (11.10.11)
You don't have to 'like someone in order to work with him. It's Sarkobama's right not to like Netanyahu, as long as they don't let their 'personal feelings get in the way of the job, which for these two flipflop medioka's seems a very hard thing to do. Strong politicians come out and stand by their words and/or appologize for them. They don't hide behind spindokters.
21. This is good
Robert ,   USA NY   (11.10.11)
At least now we know that we scare them enough that they have to say it behind our backs. Well, except for the Arabs and a few others, but, hey, it's still progress.
22. Is this supposed. To pacify???
Israel Watchdog ,   Israel   (11.10.11)
The backtracking cover says, O spends plenty of time with B. and this supposed to prove that they have a good relationship? This is exactly what he was complaining about!
23. A lying politician...what is the world coming to
Bentley ,   Augsburg germany   (11.10.11)
24. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black
Simon ,   Sydney, Australia   (11.10.11)
Yes I'm sure the French and Americal Politicians are pure angels.
25. Name
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (11.10.11)
Well, what can you expect from the person whose middle name is Hussein?
26. No Sonny,
Gideon Reader   (11.10.11)
Some damage is uncontrolable. When a passing bird poops in the punchbowl of your outdoor garden party, one can laugh and replace it with a fresh, uncontaminated bowl. When the bird in question circles the aera of the party's operation seeking further targets of opportunity, THAT yelidim, cnnot be laughed off. The question is now posed. Which of these two foul fowl is the worst serial pooper?
27. from all leaders, i always like obama and sarkozy best...
eporue ,   europe   (11.10.11)
ahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!
28. Truth of the mattter is most leaders feels that way about
David   (11.10.11)
yahoo. it does not reflect on policy matters though. if Merkel was in the conv. it would probably had been much uglier, this is the way it is, it is feeling toward yahoo not israel.
29. ashamed
Bradley White ,   Crockett, Texas, US   (11.10.11)
Disgusted and ashamed at the way my president acts on a daily basis.
30. I sure hope ...
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.10.11)
that Odumba needs lots of Jewish money to get elected - because that spigot just got turned off. We Jews may only be 2% of the US population - but Bibi is far more popular in the US Congress and American households than Odumba and Jews supply are vast majority of campaign money to Democrats. His own party will now have to run against him and his record.
