A WONDER-SJ. R. ,   MULTIVERSE   (01.20.12)

32. Iran economy in shambles
Ike ,   Chicago, USA   (01.20.12)
What Obama didn't say was that North Korea's economy was in shambles but they still built nuclear bombs.
33. All public & private donations to elections should be banned
christianpalestinian ,   las vegas   (01.20.12)
Without a full and complete ban on public and private donations to presidential and congressional campaigns, the corruption and manipulation will only continue.
34. Obama: "Iranian economy in shambles"
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (01.20.12)
B"H ABY: So what? Since when economics and nukes are related? North Korea's economy isn't in shambles? Economy only matters to materialists and Westeners, which the Iranians are not: Elementary.
35. In a shambles - and why?
Tim ,   Brighton   (01.20.12)
Thus far sanctions have had a relatively small impact Whats causing the Iranian ecomomy to slump is of Ahmadinejads OWN MAKING Is it any wonder they are on the verge of hyperinflation and technical bankruptcy that dwarfs that of Greece when up to 70% of GDP is being sqaundered on nuclear weapons development, military build up, supporting hangers on in Hezbollah and Hamas and Shia Iraqi Militias and worst of all corruption on a truly industrial scale There are reports that middle class Iranians are increasingly desperate to withdraw their savings and buy dollars euros or sterling..at almost any price-to transfer it out of the country - but the regime is doing its utmost to stop this frenzied flight of capital by declaring that this could be a capital criminal offence What has Iran been reduced to! Surely Iran deserves better!
36. Disgusting American & Obama haters here
Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (01.20.12)
Blame your own weak ass leaders like Bibi and Barack who can't even prevent a little sh*t terrorist group like Hamas from launching missiles at your city centers, but you people have the balls to complain about Obama being weak on Iran. Bibi and Barack are weak because if they where not the IDF would be over Iran doing what has to be done, then again NOT because Hamas shows how weak Israel is because don't expect Israel to fight Iran thousands of miles away when it doesn't even fight on it's borders when terrorist groups launch missiles at it's city centers.
37. options on the table
David ,   USA/Israel   (01.20.12)
I am getting a little sick of this expression. What good are options on the table unless those options are used? Just more political rhetoric spouted to a bunch of self haters.
38. The U.S. will not act against Iran
allan ,   canada   (01.20.12)
and Iran knows it. Before Obama was elected, he said he wanted to try diplomacy and sanctions yet again, to let them work. That was 4 years ago, and only now he is talking about getting tough again? In a recent interview with Panetta, his sidekick said the U.S. ' goal is to make the Iranians believe that the U.S. will do something.(Note that he did not say that the U.S. would actually do something). His body language also belied his true intentions.
39. #36 Show me, Sheik
Tahl   (01.20.12)
ONE Israeli talkbacker here who is an "American hater". I have only seen a few comments with legitimate criticism at Obama, mostly by people outside of Israel. The only one spewing venom and derision toward a whole country here is you. Factually you are also got it backwards. The only reason Israel is yet to curb missile strikes at its cities, and didn't eradicate Hamas in 2009, is due to pressure by Obama and Europe. And by the way, the entire second half of your comment is one long, hardly decipherable, gramatically-atrocious, run-on sentence.
40. Obama's brains are in shambles...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A./ Israel   (01.20.12)
This statement is a lousy excuse for inaction...
41. @39 blame Obama blame Obama
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (01.20.12)
Blame Obama Blame Obama that's all you people do is blame Obama, however you feel to realize that America is a sovereign nation and we conduct our foreign policy according to our interest and our interest only and so should Israel. Obama is an American president and Americans hate when foreigners criticize our president, Also please name one country and leader that supports Israel more than Obama and the USA and I will send you an apology.
42. Re: President Obama's "Unwavering Support For Israel"
Reuven Boruch ,   NYC, USA   (01.20.12)
I'm sure President Obama "forgot" to mention the $750,000,000 check he wrote to Egypt in the name of "rebuilding its infrastructure...." This gift is within days of the Muslim Brotherhood declaring victory in Egypt during regional elections.... The article stated that 100 people gave a combined total of $500,000 Not alof of money.. unless its a misprint & he raised $5,000,000.
43. Spoiled children behave better than.....
Robert ,   Australia   (01.21.12)
......some of the posters here who always blame others for their misdeeds. Why should Obama place Israel at the top of his list of priorities? He has more pressing issues with which to deal.
