1. MEAT romney, as 1 can expect: piece of MEAT got NO backbone
Sarah B, ,   U.S.A,/Israel   (09.14.12)
2. He's too busy to meet with the Israeli...
Malone ,   Hfx   (09.14.12)
...PM in a time of crisis while the ME is burning,but he has time to appear on the David Letterman show..
3. Romney hasn't a clue
Joe Bloughbergstein ,   USA   (09.15.12)
Romney may be trained bend over on Netanyahu's command, but that position in hardly one he can use to lecture the president of the United States. The President of the United States of America is far too busy with important matters of state to be adjusting his schedule to appease the whims of petty foreign officials. If Netanyahu wants to meet with President Obama, he should stop whining like a little girl and adjust his own schedule to meet the Presidents.
4. no no no
postroad ,   USA   (09.14.12)
You simply do not tell the president of a super poer what he ought to do. And Mitt? He should know better than to get political on foreign affairs. Mitt: what would be your red line? Oh, you do not have one as yet?
5. Mitt's problem Bibi's blunder
Avramele   (09.15.12)
Romney's problem is not only do opinion polls show that most Americans find him untruthful, unlikeable and insensitive. In addition those Americans who have positive opinions of Bibi are already voting for Mitt so his latest meddling in American politics is falling on deaf ears. Like Arafat and his support for Saddam Hussain Bibi has bet on the wrong horse. Israeli voters take note.
6. If Romney likes the view of Netanyahus nether
R ,   Canada   (09.15.12)
Region doesnt mean he has to force the president to kiss it too.
7. Policy
Steve ,   USA   (09.15.12)
#3 said "The President of the United States of America is far too busy with important matters of state to be adjusting his schedule to appease the whims of petty foreign officials." You got to be kidding! Besides spending the last couple of days while the US is being attacked in every country in the ME, North Africa on the campaign trail (like nothing is happening) he also has found time in 'his busy schedule' to be on the Letterman Show (at the time Bibi wished to see him) #4 You said, "You simply do not tell the president of a superpower what he ought to do." Why? He works for the citizens of the US not the other way around. You Democrats didn't seem to heed your own advise with Pres. Bush did you? This is the most important election in the USA in many years. It is essensial that opposition voices are heard. As far as commenting on foreign affairs goes. Romney sounded more like a President than Obama has ever sounded. #5 What are you smoking? Right now the race is almost dead even. Obama has had the lowest rating of any recent President looking for his second term. The nation is in shambles thanks to him (no not Bush). Obama has had four years to do his thing (the first two with a Dem Congress and Senate). All of you can go somewhere else and blow your smoke!
8. #4. Your frivolous president is UNFIT to lead
Harry Wright ,   UK   (09.15.12)
His red line is Iran getting the bomb. Any US president who is so UNFIT to lead should be out of that office for good.
9. One of the best decisions
Shashank Juyal ,   New Delhi India   (09.15.12)
One of the best foresighted decisions by Obama was to shake up the pro Israel lobby in Washington.US needs to realize where its strategic interests ends with Israel and its moral and ethinic stand stands in the middle east.it is very necessary to corece Israel on the Gaza issue at the same time it is extremely important to have close coordination with in nailing Iran.
10. Obama the great "bender"...
Ben Ze'ev ,   Panam Vioty Panama   (09.15.12)
You're absolutely right. Romney can't teach Obma anything about "bending". Obama himself is the greatrst "bender' who ever attained a major political position in the US. I'm surprised that he doesn't permanently walk in a crouch, ready to bend at a moment's notice.
11. Israel rebuff
Tom Mills ,   NZ   (09.15.12)
Obama is weak . Why should Israel be left alone to sort out the Arab mess that has been created by radical extremism? The Islamic world needs to be taught about who it is who has provided aid to it's struggling nations. They struggle because they have no freedom. The big question is what will happen when Iran gets a nuclear device. These people are nutters anyone with lick of sense can see that. And Obama just stands idly by.
12. As a Canadian looking at the two options
Arnold ,   Canada   (09.15.12)
Not voting is wrong. But in this case I see no good choice. I would consider not wasting my time in the poll booth. What terrible choices Obama and Romney. I would vote for Ryan for President. He has not flubbed too much yet.
13. Too busy...
Sabientje ,   Weston, Florida - US   (09.15.12)
...to write a check to the Obama campaign! That's what the Jewish voters should reply to the request for money from Obama.
14. Obama is the worst P ever!
Frozen   (09.15.12)
Obama push Israel to the edge and Israel will teach the world a lesson says: Israel is here to stay forever! dont mess with us! we need to defend ourselves even if its means to throw a nuke bomb on some country. USA just ignores Israel those days - this not a way to treat ur best friend. we will flip a side and getting close to russia, lets see USA swallow this one.
15. whats happening
alexandra longisland ,   sands point n.y.   (09.15.12)
obama is slyly setting romney up as the disloyal israel first candidate,and even conservatives are telling him pull it back a little,your looking like a puupet of jewish interests
16. As Usual, Romney LIES
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (09.15.12)
17. #3 & #4 can't see the trees in the forest
Anshel ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.15.12)
it is clear and obvious that another democrat Carter is making, America is becoming the laughing stock, Iran is laughing all the way to the development of the atomic bomb, the only true Arab ally is languishing in jail. G-d save America and those misguided American Jews who never learned from the history and that when a mad man like Ahmadinejad threatens to wipe out Israel from map, he means it too. Nobody believed Hitler either in 1933...
18. the same talks and no real plans!
black&blue ,   new york & US   (09.15.12)
romney is pathetic. what is your policy for the next 4 years romney? let me see: obama, don't opologize for our values, obama why didn't you have time for our closest ally bibi. obama, did you flush after using the the bathroom! this guy is trying to win jewish votes for the election in anyway, and the american jews can not even stand him because he is kissing up too much and he doesn't even have any real plan to take us out of this recession..
19. Romney is getting lighter and cheaper by the day.
WikiMiki   (09.15.12)
20. # 3
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (09.15.12)
We saw how busy he was when he had to be pulled out of a golf game to watch the raid on Bin Laden which was ordered by Panetta. If not for Panetta and Clinton, Obama would still be golfing and Bin Laden would still be breathing.
21. #3
(09.15.12)
Yeah, Obama is very busy with attending David Letterman show instead of discussing Mideastern nukes. Are you really that dumb?
22. Can someone please brief Romney
Sarah B ,   Israel / US   (09.15.12)
about Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and Kuwait please. He also needs to be briefed about the American backed regime in Iraq. Israel is not our only ally in the Middle East
23. What would a meeting achieve
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (09.15.12)
that using Yahoo messenger can't? Why does the Israeli taxpayer have to fund Netanyahu's wife's shopping trip to New York?
24. Why do you pretend to be Sarah?
Deb ,   US   (09.15.12)
Why does an anti-Israel fraud feel the need to stick their big nose in Israel-US relations? Why does Obama run away from Netanyahu. What is he afraid of?
