		<description>Shlomo, I am a Jew who voted for McCain. Now all of a sudden, many who voted to Obama say - we had to give him a chance, how were we to know?!! - are you babies? Were you just born yesterday? 

Obama knew nothing when you voted for him. And Palin was accused of having no experience, except she had ten times more than Obama. The left, the liberals are a hypocritical bunch. The facts mean nothing. It is all about power. 

And they like to blacken the image and marginalize those who oppose all the radical policies of the Democrats. Discussion not allowed - you are racist if you disagree with Obama. You are a supporter of slavery (as the moron Harry Reid said last week of Republicans)!! It seems to me that the only racists were the blacks and whites who voted for Obama (and his embarrassing VP Biden) because of his skin color.

So I have only disdain for the Democrats and their supporters. And to the Jews who voted for him - I am super embarrassed that with all your &quot;brains&quot; you could not see through him. He is an empty suit.

And we are now all in terrible danger.</description>

		<description>Replying to &quot;Larry in Tel Aviv&quot; and others: I am an American Jew who voted for Obama. I knew that Obama was a somewhat uncertain quantity on foreign policy. He was going to be a risk. He had prominent Jewish supporters who vouched for him. I took the leap. Now we know more about him. His opponent, John McCain, did not seem to be as intellectually and temperamentally unsuited to the job. 

But, remember, the Republicans had created an economic disaster because they made an idol of the Market. They refused to regulate Wall Street. They refused to consider national health insurance, which is essential in a time of great economic insecurity. Job-tied health insurance in the United States has been a form of economic serfdom. People are afraid to leave unsuitable jobs to care for their families, look for other work, or start their own businesses because they would then go without health insurance. If the USA can&#039;t straighten out its economy and make needed reforms, then it can no longer assert global leadership and pay for the police actions expected of a great liberal power.</description>

		<description>Cynic - sorry but Sarah&#039;s &quot;integrity and an honest forthright manner&quot; are no substitute for brains. In fact, I think she is manipulative, sly, hypocritical and underhand.

Apart from that, I find her views on almost any issue you care to name run the gamut from foolish (geography) to stupid (economy) to loathsome (religious extremism, abortion, gay rights, etc.). I regard her as an existential danger in the same category as the mad mullahs of Iran, and the US already has the bomb - and lots of them.

All of that does not make Obama experienced or successful in foreign policy, but does not qualify her to be his replacement. We have to find better leaders for the US (and Britain and the EU- as Robin points out, the appointment of Lady (formerly baroness) Ashton to run foreign policy at the EU is as bizarre as anything the US has yet come up with both in terms of her total lack of qualifications and the way she was appointed).

Gabor - Robin Williams has a great line about GW Bush. Bush is now doing the rounds as a motivational speaker, it seems. As Williams said, its like having Lindsay Lohan working as a rehab councilor. Sorry - he will definitely not be missed by tens or hundreds of millions of Americans and billions of non-Americans.</description>

		<description>AKUS,

You said: &quot;He’s a nice man, but inexperienced and it shows badly.&quot;

I don&#039;t know how &quot;inexperienced&quot; can be used to justify his idiotic actions from the ridiculous stand on Zelaya in Honduras to the knot he tied himself in trying to force Netanyahu to remove himself from leadership while encouraging the PA to be even more intransigent.
The man, and his handlers (advisers) seem to know nothing about who and what they are dealing with. 
He cannot seem to realize that in dealing with pit bulls one cannot approach them as Pekinese.

As for Sarah Palin, well she she appears to have more integrity and an honest forthright manner which would be a breath of fresh air after considering the backgrounds of Obama and Clinton and their nefarious relations.</description>

		<description>I apologize if I sidetrack this particular entry but according to the latest news in the Jerusalem Post it seems that Britain - virtually alone among the big states as opposed to the non-supportive France, Germany, Italy and the reportedly stalling Spain - come out in support for the Swedish text draft on Jerusalem. This WILL make London even more irrelevant on the global arena vis-a-vis anything  in connection with the Mid East &quot;peace process&quot;. It seems London is spoiling its own diplomatic standing and prestige.</description>

		<description>Akus,

America had a clear choice, either elect someone who has experience on the world stage (McCain) or someone who had absolutely no real world experience (Barry).

Instead what we got was the Palin hate fest love in from the MSM (unfortunately championed by the BBC).

Ive been saying all along though, the longer Barry is in power the more he makes GW&#039;s Presidency look like a fond memory.

		<description>Let&#039;s not forget near 80% of American Jews voted for Obama, a scandal in its own right. The difference between Obama and Carter, is that under Carter we did not face a race for nuclear armageddon from mad mullahs, now we do.</description>

		<description>AKUS, sorry to say, but to a certain extent I disagree. Hillary Clinton could only have been marginally better on every foreign policy issue. She is not THAT much friendly to Israel either I believe. Besides the hostile (to Israel for example) State Dept. is strong enough to sabotage pro-Israel intentions of any President if he/she ventures over their set borders. But I largely agree with the analysis about Obama&#039;s naivite written here. (Just a separate line of thought if I may: I think the current British FM is the worst of all times ever after the 2nd world war. He is deeply hostile to Israel, has a very questionable background to put it mildly, and the man has almost zero connection with either Israelis or the current government. This makes him very dangerous. The proof: his planned support for the Swedish position of dividing Jer into two among many others. This should not be swept under the carpet.)</description>
