than Netanyahu or even Lieberman. While these debates are live, there is a lot preparation time that goes into them. Netanyahu is pretty busy right now.
2. @1 hmm yeah, that's the reason

And what about Barak Obama, President of the USA, a country with over 300 million citizens and even less ministers and deputy ministers. Get a grip woman and try to see things in their correct proportions.
4. debate
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (10.23.12)
Back in 1996, Netanyahu and Peres had a debate. Netanyahu spoke quietly about his future plans all supported by facts and figures. He treated the viewers as if they were intelligent. Peres smiled smugly and said nothing of substance, like a corrupt appartchik talking to his victims. When it was his turn to ask Netanyahu a question, Peres cackled "I refuse to talk to that man or ask him any questions" The Leftist press hailed Peres as the clear victor. Nothing has changed. A debate will not be about issues, but two journalists with no legislative or executive experience attacking Netanyahu together with the corrupt failure Mofaz. We can pass.

"And what about Barak Obama?" Let me tell you Jim, all about Barak Obama. He could care less about the business of the US or the people of the US! He is interested in only one thing. And, that is, how can I make myself richer and more popular. How can I further inflate my ego. How can I finish the job of the final solution and go down in history as the world leader who wiped the Jews off the map. Get a grip man and remove your head from the sand. Your rear end is exposed.

, But you simply ignore the issue and that is, Obama still finds time to debate.
7. Just imagine
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (10.24.12)
We could have the leaders of all of the "Religious" parties - $ha$$, AgudasYisroel and Habayis Hayehudi debating about how much money they will steal from the rest of us each one trying to oucompeted each other

The only positive thing Obama has going for him is the gift of the gab & his charm. He knows how to talk & charm his way out questions & he is well versed at lying through his teeth. Any man who spends millions of dollars to cover up & hide his past, is a fraud & should not have any power in the US Government, never mind being the president of the country. Where are his college records? Where was he born? Where is his birth certificate? American who will vote for this fraud are naive.
9. debates are glorified election broadcast at taxpayer expense
zionist forever   (10.24.12)
The only things these debates would do would be to give the politicians a chance to make lots of soundbites. YACHIMOVICH - social justice, social justce, social justice I want social justice. MOFAZ - er well what is Kadima actually offering this time round? LAPID - I support the left, I support the right,I support the haredi, I support the religion haters. I will support anybody if it will convenice them to vote for me. ELI YISHAI - more money to yeshivot, deport all the illigal infiltraitors. BIBI - I will won't let Iran get a nuke, I will take care ofthe economy, I will do anything that will make me look like a respectable & responsible PM. Election day comes along they all get together form a coalition and all the promised policies are torn up to keep coalition partners happy so we dont have to hold another election.

You really must have a bird brain to believe the nonsense you wrote. Barak Obama was born and educated in the USA, otherwise he could not be president. Not even the republicans question these facts.

In 1961 people of colour were called ''Negros'' so how can the Obama birth certificate state he is "African-American'' when the term was not even invented? The birth certificate that the White House revealed lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961 & lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old & that Obama's father was born in ''Kenya." Kenya did not exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth & 27 years after his father's birth. How could Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up & until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the ''British East African Protectorate.'' The above facts can be checked on Wikkipedia.
