BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.08.12)
Lest you forgot, Obama returned Churchill's Bust to England at the start of his term When he finishes, the same could be the fate of Peres' souvenieis, returned to Israel
32. #10...I feel like you !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.08.12)
33. # 8 and 9 are not mine
Keren, IL-BR   (06.08.12)
I am furious with this. This piece of s. is using my name to post leftist posts in all Israeli newspapers. I would never ever consider write such stupid things, in such a disgusting style. Please ynet, do something. This spineless being is unable even to create his or her own identity. Enough is enough.

35. #25 Eagle, Many Israelis don't understand that President
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.08.12)
in the U.S. is not very powerful on economy and social issues. Also, Israelis don't usually understand what can be done at the State level, rather than by the Federal government. In many cases the Federals just set budgets and watch how the money is spent, but don't attend to details. You will agree with me that Obama cannot stop American manufacturers from sending jobs overseas. Not having stopped that and the continuing high level of unemployment may cost Obama reelection in the forthcoming elections and Obama cannot do anything about that.
36. A photocopy will do
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.08.12)
Don't give up the original documents, for heaven's sake! Whoever came up with that idea should be prosecuted. It would be like the United States giving up as a gift the original Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. And to Obama, no less! What an incredibly stupid thing to do. I echo Moshe at Post No. 2 -- what about Jonathan Pollard?
37. To: No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.08.12)
Jonathan Pollard never took a dime. That has been conclusively proven. Do you know who wrote the CIA's assessment of Pollard's actions? I will tell you. Aldrich Ames. Do you know who he is? Pollard saved lives -- Jewish lives. He did not spy for an enemy, like the Walker Family, Ames or Robert Hanson. Perhaps if you had lost a child in a terror attack, you might feel differently. As it is, you're just another idiot with nothing to contribute. When will you grasp that?
38. To: No. 35
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.08.12)
Of course he can stop jobs from going overseas. It's called a tariff. It's also called reduction of tax benefits to American manufacturers if jobs are exported. You obviously know absolutely nothing about American politics; please then just shut up. Or -- if you are as smart as you foolishly believe yourself to be -- why not just run for G-d and call it a day? You are a pluperfect idiot, Michael.
39. Michael and Put Peres in Prison for using his position to
Netanya ,   Netanya   (06.08.12)
take things which are not his, are in a national fund to a person. Not to mention, that it is going to Obama who will use it as firewood and could care less about anything which shows an international tie to Israel. This is just stupid, I suggest that Peres be jailed for removing something from a national organization for his personal use. If not illegal, it should be. The archives are not replaceable and Peres can take a copy to Obama, but Obama hates Israel, so it still would be a waste of paper. Peres is a terrible president, an awful representative for Israel and doesn't even want to perform the job he was hired for. Time to get a president with no political agenda. To MICHAEL #19 and #35...isn't it time for Obama to take SOME responsibility for the last 4 yrs where the country has gotten worse off? If the situation today happened under a republican, you would be screaming bloody murder, right?
40. #35...Michael..what about THE OBAMA STIMULUS
Netanya ,   Netanya   (06.08.12)
Guess you forgot that bit of legistlation, which was pushed on the Americans, using Obama's fear peddling tactic, only to see lots of money thrown down the toilet on the most moronic tasks. History shows us that a president can change the economy, as Roosevelt did with the New Deal and as Clinton did during his terms in office. Why deny facts only to support the worst president in the history of USA?
41. # 37
Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (06.08.12)
Thank you Sarah for yet another insult to add to my increasing collection from you. Why is it necessary for an intelligent person like yourself to resort to insults to people who don't agree with you? Your arguments stand up OK without that and it causes you to lose your credibility.
42. Gift to USA
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (06.08.12)
Obama can receive the gifts on behalf of the people of the United States. Gifts to the President cannot be kept personally. The note will end up in the National Archives at the Library of Congress.
43. #38, Pluperfect
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.08.12)
So much aggression stems from shrinkage of frontal lobes. It's very serious.
44. #39, See for yourself, the U.S. is doing very well.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.08.12)
Please take a trip to the U.S., to large cities and to the countryside. It is not what you read. You will find the majority are very happy people, having a good time. Some are screaming bloody murder, that is always the case. The government is prepared with the next economic package, but it was announced only yesterday it is not needed.
45. #25 Michael, CA - You don't understand
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.08.12)
the President yourself They haven't published a new budget for three years Obama has hocked the USA to the tune of 5 TRILLION DOLLARS He is powerful on the economy he spent more than enough to get it going again, with Stimulus & Greenjobs as his promised results Unemployment, sure it's high, Obama has been all promises about solving it, which has resulted in NO JOBS & Lots of hot air to explain why the Jobs haven't been created Obama doesn't care, he's stuffing himself on Cheeseburgers, French Fires & $300 a lb. Kobe (hand massaged beef) for Japan As of now in his quest for a second term, he has made three times the appearances schnorring for money than George Bush, at the same stage of the campaing
46. #43 - reminds me of a line from Stalinist USSR
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (06.08.12)
"Life is getting better, life is getting merrier".... I don't see it in my California..
47. #44 Michael USA is in TERRIBLE SHAPE
Netanya ,   Netanya   (06.08.12)
I don't know what you're talking about. I go to USA every year to see my family, in Florida, and can tell you that every year it looks more and more third world. I am 46 and when I grew up, I never knew anyone on food stamps, they were for very, very poor who lived in ghetto neighborhoods Today, I can go to the beach on a weekday and there are loads of people, and when I speak with them, they are professionals, law secretaries with over 20 yrs experience and out of work, just to name a bit. So many on food stamps, what is that all about? So many without work, the situation is really an abomination and the worse I have every seen in the USA, nothing even came close. Work was abundant, and everyone could work in a number of place, that is the USA I know. You may be very young, but the situation is dire today and I don't know how you can say otherwise.
48. POTUS response
Jon Skillman ,   Dayton, Ohio, USA   (06.09.12)
Don't be surprised if the president doesn't reciprocate with a set of Beach Boys CDs.
49. Obama bad for Israel
Jean-Pierre ,   San Pablo   (06.09.12)
As a liberal Jewish Obama voter I am very happy with his stands on health care and gay marriage but as a Jew , I remember that Obama really has put Israel under the bus.He changed the policy of previous administrations that the borders were subject to negotiations and that Israel would get new borders and not have to go back to the 67 borders ( including the Western Wall and the settlement blocks ) to withdrawal from all the territories.This takes away Israel's most important card in negotiations. This president cannot be trusted to protect Israel when Iran gets its nuclear bomb.
50. #47Netanya, Many jobs have been automated in the U.S..
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.09.12)
Computers have given workers the option to communicate directly and secretaries are not needed. Robots have replaced manual labor of the old. Still, many people are working on jobs that can be automated further. So, in the future we will see more and more unemployment. Young people, and those who lost jobs, need to train for different skills than in the past. My initial point was that Obama cannnot do anything about this process. The Congress needs to legislate laws that will keep the scarce American jobs in this country, not allow sending manufacturing and many service jobs out to the Far East. But this will cause a drop in our standard of living and politicians don't dare to do it. A day of reckoning is coming, I am sure, but Obama will not be blamed.
51. #50 Michael - POTUS HAD PROMISED
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.09.12)
That e would ceate new jobs, reduce Unployment So far, all we have is your making excuses for what Obama hasn't done I have an idea, why don't our tell the students that are graduating, what lines of employment & areas of trainng they should devote themselves, in order to further their careers ? Many that have left the nest have returned home to their parents nest, giving up their job searrches in disgust
52. #51 JABO, Unemployment was over 10%, it is 8.2% now.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.10.12)
Theoretically, Obama did something about reducing unemployment, based on above numbers, but I have already explained to you that he did not. Not even Franklin Roosevelt is getting such credit, check it out, until the war started. Besides, people are too wise to take politicians' promises as guarantees. Only very naive believe that Mitt Romney will reduce unemployment.
53. #52 Michael, CA
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.10.12)
Unemployment still isn't what Obama had promised it would be What's been left out of the 8.2% is the millions that have given up lookiing and those that are working part time because they can't get full-time employment People aren't all that wise, the majority voted for Obama
