1. Politicians maybe should seek a career in comedy instead?

Obama is "determined". Peres "lauds" Obama's 'determination". Netanyahu "appreciates" Obama's speech. What is Obama good at? Speeches, and yet no action. I think Obama has held hundreds of speeches now and the American people is suffering because of his evil and incompetence. The US national debt is higher than ever, budget deficit is higher than ever, unemployment is very high, USA has lost its respect and deterrence, allies have lost their faith in America, enemies have lost their fear and respect of America - that's why Turkey, Iran and the Arab states are going wild. Obama has still not launched an attack on Iran and Netanyahu has still not launched an attack on Iran. Either they are all actors with a secret agenda, or they are unable to make real decisions, or maybe they haven't figured out how to attack Iran. I don't think Obama is determined to stop Iran. I don't believe until I see it I don't believe in Netanyahu's determination to stop Iran. Not until the IAF actually bombs Iran. Are Netanyahu, Peres, Barak, Obama and Clinton, Panetta and Dempsey going to agree that they agree or disagree or are they going to launch 100 or just 99 international press conferences? It's simply empty talk. Obama has done nothing but talking. And his warm and fuzzy talk is probably designed to make Israel feel safe and secure and relax its military operations.
2. peres

MUST be supporting the barak obama campaign. peres is so shrewd, has so much $$ at his disposal that he will find a way to support obama's campaign. I simply do not understnad WHY NO ONE INVESTIGATES the PEACE CENTER established by Peres. This dishonest ELDERLY man has amounts of money at his disposal that few have. He pays the highest salaries to his employees who do nothing except travel around the world. Look at family Savir - just an example........................ If Peres has done anything it is FAR from planting seeds of peace.
3. Why would President Obama.....
Robert ,   Australia   (03.05.12)
......wish to do anything to assist the average Israeli talkbacker who refer to him as the devil incarnate? If you people really want to attack Iran why don't you form an alliance with Russia? After all, isn't that where most of you originate? It seems there is a more underlying reason for the vitriol against Obama here. The world will thank Obama for his equanimity and sensible reasoning.
4. Peres would praise Arafat were he alive today.
Al   (03.05.12)
God damn effin old fool. Israel you ought to be ashamed of yourselves for having this putz as a president.
5. Peres is a disgrace!
Jayjay ,   Israel   (03.05.12)
6. Its payback time for Mr. Peres
Jeremy Eliot ,   Israel   (03.05.12)
Pres. Obama is collecting a debt: He helped the Left Wing in Israel (Kadima) now its time to help Obama get the Jewish vote. This is a clear interference in the election process both in Israel and in the USA. It is wrong. very wrong.
