#1 In my opinion, the only "chickenshit" lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, because he did not repudiate this statement by one of his staff, immediately, upon the "chickenshit" slur being published in the media....

#4 Actually, it doesn't matter. All US administrations been screwing Israel (almost as much as they've been screwing Americans). The only diff with Obama admin is that bunch never learned to behave in an adult manner.

#5 All US administrations been screwing Israel (almost as much as they've been screwing Americans).

That is because g(r)om, the "US Administration" is not American. It is a cadre of closet communists, black nationalists and mooslim apologists. The Champ shares a unique kinship with the likes of tribal fanatics Farrakhan, Wright, Madiba, Tutu, Jacob Zuma, or Mugabe. These people have no use for the west or anyone who comes from the west. The regime's anti-Semitic rant [and that is exactly what it is] is a natural extension of the Champ's evolving attitudes and beliefs, except he really hasn't evolved, he's simply come out of the closet. As he clearly said to Russian Federation President Dmitry Medvedev on an open microphone, "I'll have much more flexibility after my election."

#6 "Don't do any stupid chickenshi*"

A strategy now clearly violated.

#7 I'm afraid, Besoeker, that after electing Obama twice, the US Administration IS now America.

#8 the 'chickenshit' comment will hurt Obama 's ability in fundraising among his wealthier Jewish supporters in CA, NY and FL

of course, it came on Oct 29 when almost all the fundraising had been completed and those supporters, mostly long time Dems, had already been tapped for $millions

if the Republican's are smart they'll save some $ for a post election documentary on the back stabbing of Israel by this admin

#9 the Republican's are smart they'll save some $ for a post election documentary

Isn't it cute when someone uses the term Republican and Smart in the same sentence?

Kind of like Democrat and Moral.

#10 If the Republicans retake the Senate, they need to start undercutting the Administration in foreign affairs, quickly, publicly and hard.

If that's the case and the US is giving Israel $3b a year, what is Russia, which backs Syria and Iran, doing to Israel?

#15 Not everyone has your magnificent intellect & erudition Nim. So, be patient and explain it to me in simple terms. The fact about US aid to Israel which most confuses me is the following.
In 1999 Bibi went before US congress asking them to abolish US economic aid to Israel. A few weeks later there was a crisis in USA/Israel relations that, eventually, led to Bibi government's downfall.

#16 1999 and 2014? Hmmmm, I believe Democrats were and are in the WH. There is a pattern?

#17 In 1999 Bibi went before US congress asking them to abolish US economic aid to Israel.

That's asinine, like someone asking the government stop sending him checks. All Israel has to do is stop cashing those checks, and those appropriations will go away. The fact is that US assistance to Israel draws flak from Muslims, in part because Israel is felt to be a traditional Arab land where Xinjiang/East Turkistan and Chechnya are not. The Russians have voted against Israel at the UN repeatedly and supply Syria - which has warred against Israel, directly and indirectly, since 1948 - with weaponry. They also continue to oppose sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program. And yet you seem to think that the Russian empire is a better friend of Israel than the US. I understand the pull of ideology that led so many Israeli Jews to spy for the Soviets. But communism is dead, so it's head-scratchingly puzzling as to why a Jew would view Russia as anything other than just another supporter of Israel's enemies. It's mind boggling that Russia, the historical persecutor of Jews, the nation that bequeathed the word pogrom to the English language, is somehow the recipient of such blind loyalty, while the US, which saved Israel from a Russian intervention during Yom Kippur that might have ended the Jewish state, is the target of such hostility. Are you a Russian who migrated to Israel for economic reasons, while claiming made-up Jewish ancestry?
