Doug, if you put Israel interests before those of the United States, you are not an American citizen but in fact- you are a Zionist scumbag. So why don't you get the fuck out of this country then and move to Israel? The last I checked this was the United States of America, not the United States of Israel. Additionally, it's not like Israel doesn't dictate enough of U.S politics and foreign policy? You guys get $5 billion a year to spend on U.S guns, and sophisticated weaponry; still not enough? You can't have it all, greedy jew.

Meredith Rothbart. Sad to say it was truly surprising to learn of your faith, confidence and trust in Obama. On the other hand i am quite the opposite , ever snce Obama has been persistent in his Demand that Israel upon making Peace with the Palestinian/ARABS must go back to those PRE-1967 Lines which are in fact the very Beginnings of the Re-establishment of the Jewish State in 1948 when Israel would be a pittance of a State only 8/9 miles wide in certain areas and a cakewalk to destroy…. despie winning the 1967 Six Day War. Furthermore. having learned of his years while growing up and having been educated in an Islamic School in Indonesia further led me to mistrust the man…. and when Israel's Prime Minister first visied Obama as the newly elected President of the United States in 2008 the Israeli PM waa shown the backdoor entgrance to exit. Therefore such as these actions are, they tend to make me feel unstable about Obama. and his 'feelings' for te Jews….. and now with the dilemma of the BENGHAZI DEBACLE Debate starting very soon, one needs to ask 'Where was the President at the time' when it appears a 'cover-up' of sorts is being enacted to defend whom… none but the President Obama himself it is being presumed. Sorry Meredith Rothbart,THIS MAN , I can NOT TRUST as you do.

Well said Michael, as we too are pleased with President Obama's reelection, as he's worthy of this Blessing(s) and too of the one he previously received to win reelection, in Receiving, to give. Amen. yy

If you understood how many Americans are now standing with their hands out for other peoples' money, I doubt you talk so about "dignity" and "equality". Equality is when everyone is pulling the load, not doing nothing and expecting a handout from the work of others.

George – The will of Yahweh (and His greatest commandment) is that we are love Him (the Lord our God) with all of our heart, all of our soul, all of our mind, and all of our strength, and to love our neighbor as we love our self.

Who is to know why any Jew, or lover of Israel of the Covenant (me being one of the latter), would vote for anyone who stands against Israel. Clearly, the Obama administration policies do not support the security of Israel (lip service is not support). "Now Yahweh had said unto Abram, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." – Genesis 12:1-3

There is alot more political posturing going on right now, regarding the Middle East – specifically centered on the Israel 'problem'. Pray to God that His will be done and know that although we (who are impatient and want to see results – RIGHT NOW) do not see God's hand in what is going on, He is sovereign in the affairs of men – and He will not let Israel go down at the hands of her enemies. Although we struggle in our humanity, the battle is not ours — it is a spiritual battle already won!

You didn't bother to look did you. None so blind as those who refuse to look. None so rigid as those who rely on faith in ideology over demonstrable facts.

Doug Kraft "Since 1978 CEO pay has gone up 725%, while worker pay only increased by 5.7%." – Economic Policy Institute. Cut CEO pay by 80% and pay the workforce more, and you'll see the economy pick up! Also, back in the days of feudalism, the only government was the very wealthy. Then this radical social experiment called Democracy happened. It gave the commoners a say in public policy, and redistributed wealth by assuring a livable wage and public works. Things the right wing hates, and is trying to reverse.
