#2 Just a reminder - last year 78% of American Jews voted for Obama.

#3 Never could figure that out. I'm guessing that percentage won't be as high in 2012, but I didn't think it would be over 40% in 2008 ...

#4 to many of my Jewish friends, Bush, McCain weren't the sophisticates they thought Obama was.

#5 Ya know there are times I wish Obama woudl do what he keeps telling others to do - in effect, eat a bullet.

#6 I meant from his own had, to clarify that I am not advocating assassination.

#9 I think newc above actually captures the essence, even if he (she?) squanders some eloquence on the toxic embarrassment that occupies the WH.

This jackass couldn't hold up his end of a 5 minute discussion of the history, merits, or strategic implications of the Isr-Pal conflict (or, for that matter, a discussion on anything else of consequence, including the US Constitution, on which his utterances leave one slack-jawed in amazement and disgust at his illiteracy).

Yep, you affirmative action dipshit, there's a "narrow window" for a lasting peace. Because ... because ... uh ... uh .... there's some unique aspects to, uh .... the current situation ... uh ... ya know, insane implacable racist hostility from the idiotic Arab world, and ... uh ... whatever.

Here's hoping Bibi steps up and takes huge risks and puts the pathetic US on the spot by attacking Iran's nuke program (hint: kill key people, don't just bomb sh*t). Imagine the disarray and meltdown among the Beltway third-tier mediocrities in the WH.

#10 When do the self-criticism and struggle sessions start?

#12 I'm beginning to think the Jews in this country would have voted for Hitler if he was well bred and smooth and a dhimocrat.

Fools. As big as fools and their new president.

#13 I'll second Verlaine's comment.

#14 It's amazing how many "narrow windows" there are, every administration has one. It's that "legacy" crap again. For one who professes to "listen to all sides", Obama certainly loves to lecture. He's the Professor In Chief - and therein lies his problem.

#15 Remember one thing. He was a community organizer. C-o-m-m-u-n-i-t-y. Not country. His mentality is still of a community organizer. His politics is still Chicago style.

#16 Israel: Obama should engage reflexively in sexual congress.

#17 Just a reminder - last year 78% of American Jews voted for Obama.

Many in the U.S. Jewish community are quite liberal in views and thus voted for BO. Why are they liberal? I don't know. Bush did more for Israel than the Donks. Many in Israel got it and liked Bush.
