He doesn’t know how to lead. He votes “present” and leaves the work to everyone else. He will NEVER “win the future” because he doesn’t understand the past and he has given away the present.

And his gambling with our future is thus far, paying off; if your name is Obama or George Soros, that is.

We thought his lauding of tyrants had reached its zenith when our leader, holding only his second state dinner last month, honored one of the most oppressive regimes on Earth. The new Chinese Nobel Peace Prize winner was rotting in jail along with his wife while the Chinese president was eating Maine lobster in the White House.

What an indictment.

In the 2012 elections, will the oil companies support the democrats hoping that Obama throws them a bone...or will they support the republicans hoping for a drilling policy 180?

Rabbi,

You need to be preaching this to all of the liberal Jews in America who not only voted for Barry, but gave large sums of money to him to be elected and sell Israel down the drain. He cares nothing about Freedom and Liberty. He cares about himself, whether he made a good speech or not....

The Israelis have stopped pretending Obama is a rational, honest ally.

They accept the fact that when the muslims start WW-III in the mideast Obama will try to put the might of America against Israel.

So they have stopped kissing his arse.

I disagree rather strongly with this notion.

It is not and should not be the job of the US to decide who should rule other countries. We can criticize their leaders for their actions, and we can decide whether or not providing aid serves our interests. (Usually not.)

But it is not our job to decide when “the Egyptian people” have decided their leader should go. By the criteria of mass popular demonstrations, the US military should have overthrown our Constitution during the Vietnam War. “The people” obviously wanted a change.

I think the figure of 400 million Arabs is a bit of an exaggeration. Using figures from 2007 I get to about 305 million Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa, including 40% of Sudan's population and the Arab minorities in Israel and Iran. Of those close to 30 million do not live under dictatorships (the Iraqi Arabs and the Israeli Arabs)...so maybe 275 million live under brutal dictatorships.

I guess Lebanon (4 million) may be another exception. If Egypt succeeds in creating a real democracy, that would be 80 million more, but at this point I'm not very optimistic--they may get a regime that reflects better the wishes of the inhabitants, but it isn't likely to be one that is tolerant towards religious or political dissidents.

He isn’t a leader. He’s a “celebrity”.

Isn’t this the same guy who was Rabbi to Micheal Jackson who used Black Panthers (wannabee muslims) as bodyguards?

Flashback...

“Barack Obama contends that he is more experienced in executive matters than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin because he has managed his presidential campaign for the past 18 months.

Speaking on a cable news channel Monday night, the Democratic presidential nominee said he is better prepared to handle a disaster like Hurricane Gustav because of his pursuit of the White House.

“Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the last couple of years,” Obama said.”
