Obama Dons Yarmulke at Yad Vashem; Peres Praises His "Moving Humanity"

Barack Obama said his heart was bleeding for all of us
American's sitting around our
tables wondering how are we going to pay
pay for higher gas and food and pay our
our house payments.
Obama has submitted a global poverty
act bill with a price tag of 845
billion dollars.
It looks favorable to be passed, if
it should be passed it will cost
every man,woman,child $2,500 per
year for thirteen years.
The funds will be over seen by the
United Nations for the period of thirteen years.
Obama, voted to wire tap the American
people which has not made many of
his supporter happy.
For our family we really don't think
any of this is a good change for the
over burden American people.

The global property act is to rebuild
third world countries infrastructures
and help women and children in third
world counties with their education,
women and children's right issues.

people in more massive debt.

What does Barack think he's doing? He's traveling the world over PROVING that he's ALREADY the better candidate! But there's still a slight chance that he'll lose! What will the voting public of the USA look like then?

Hmmm.. I guess 200,000 people from all over Europe spending a Thursday afternoon in the middle of Berlin patiently waiting for one U.S. Senator couldn't possibly know what they were doing. Geeze.. must be a crazy way to spend a vacation day.

Ohhh.. 75,000 people in Portland.. they did not know what they were doing.

Ohh.. 35,000 people in Philadelphia.. they did not know what they were doing

You know.. sometimes.... when ordinary citizens of this country and around this world, who could be doing a billion other things decide to VOLUNTARILY listen to one man speak..... you know.....

HE MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING WORTH LISTENING TO!

If you haven't listened, give him a try and if you try hard enough... I believe you will hear a strong, humble, intelligent, thoughtful caring man....

Senator McCain is not a bad man. Senator Obama is just the better candidate for the position of President of the United States of America.

OBAMA 08!

The world is ready for different politics other than what is going on in the United States of America today. Liars like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Karl Rove should be put in the hall of shame in history. The Dark Age of America is what these past 8 years have been. Obama is what our country needs now. He has good ideas of helping our country. World leaders know he can turn our country around and make a big difference worldwide. Maybe we can finally get respect from other countries. The economy in a recession, gasoline up, food and utilities spiralling up. What are you people out there waiting for? McCain is in Bush's Agenda and if he gets in nothing will change and our country will be in more despair and poverty except of course the Rich and Elite. Wake up you dopes!!!!

What I find remarkable is how differently folks are reacting to Obama's trip. Those who dislike him find evidence of their predisposition at every turn, while those who support him are encouraged, and reassured of his intellect and temperament at each stop. I watched McLaughlin last night, his panel,(repubs and dems) were uninanimous in agreeing that he performed "flawlessly" on his trip.
To the bashers, I ask, what's wrong with having a President that would be popular abroad? After seeing what 8 years of "my way or the highway" diplomacy has done to our standing in the world, and the fact that our economy is circling the drain, don't y'all think that we'll do better If we regain respect around the world? The brand of blind nationalism the right has been selling has not done us any favors, we're becoming isolated, and approaching bankruptcy.

Keep hope alive Michelle. What polls are you looking at? All the ones that I have seen still have Obama leading. LEADING is the key word here. Some people are just so jealous! But no amount of hate or name-calling will stop this man from getting into the White House! I'm sorry you feel the way that you do, but I've had enough of the Bush era. Look at the state of the country? Bush is a liar and a buffoon. He's the embarrassment along with his whole administration! And McCain is so closely aligned with him, they probably sleep in the same bed together. And how many times has McCain been over there? My point is, he's been over there several times and I have never in my life seen the red carpet rolled out for him. This, no doubt, bothers McCain and I'm sure it bothers you to and people like you.

It is really amazing. The more inspired people become with Barack Obama, the more the Republicans foam at the mouth spewing forth their hatred and jealously. Look people is simple. John McCain is boring and dull. If you wanted a more inspiring candidate then why didn't you nominate one. Let's face it every time McCain is given national press coverage, he screws it up. Republicans are suffering from buyer's remorse. Sorry you did support Huckabee now I bet.

The interaction with the reporter was lose-lose. If he had answered most people would have accused him of campaigning. Because he did not answer, people are accusing him of disrespect. He couldn't win that one and the reporter knew it and was trying to trick him. He made the right decision.

The so-called pro-Israeli commenters are the one's being anti-Semitic by suggesting that the Israeli president is some kind of gullible idiot for being hospitable towards and respecting (even liking) Obama. Yes, we know you think the American people are stupid, but do you think the Israeli leaders are stupid too? Show some respect for Israel.

Let's just tell the truth. Commenters on this blog just cannot STAND the idea of a Black president. No matter what he does for America or Israel, you would rather have a president who cannot remember basic geography or historical facts than an intelligent and prepared BLACK president. Tell the truth. You don't like black people; you don't want a black president. Period.

... actually
"megalomaniacal"

heh heh

Seems everyone is drinking Obama's coolaid! And course he couldn't answer the question about preventing a second Holocaust till later - he did not have his teleprompter with him! Though one would think that the answer would be a no-brainer! Be very scared!

Boy! The success of Obama's trip certainly has the fringe folk all worked up. Unusual amount of name-calling going on today, particularly for this site. He's duped the Democrats...now he's duping world leaders. Glad that the "custodians of the real truth" are still out there... calling him names.

Maggie, name me one politician who isn't a narcissist.

-Peres started describing an important book he read that contrasted the merits of socialism versus capitalism-

What is the name of the book? Who is the author?

Oh, he's good -- very good. But then most narcissists are.

I'm glad that we won WWII by speaking out with one voice instead of through the sacrifices of 14 million allied soldiers.

This guy is a total moron.

So the Lightworker is restoring our image with the rest of the world? Hardly. It seems that in Germany, they are not quite buying into the Messiah image.

Why does it take 20 cars just to send out Obama's advance teams when it is trying to act like he is already POTUS? Are lines drawn so that each player knows exactly what they are allowed to say and what is off limits?
Now Obama seems to think he can dictate to the Germans by informing them that when he gives his speech at Hitler's favorite monument, no posters or signs will be allowed. Can't have those Germans holding up signs that say "Obama Go Home", now can we?

This was NOT a fact finding mission. This was another part of the greatest PR campaign since ColaCola. To make Obama "apprear" presidential. Sorry, not all of us are buying it.

I was hoping that Sentor Obama would do his whirlwind tours and really "fact find" and not make it one big photo-op. No chance. I was hoping that Senator Obama would explain that while he cannot prevent the media in their kneepads from tagging along, he was not there to make headlines, but to learn things that as POTUS he would have to know and no interviews would be given. No chance.

Unfortunately, I fear that Senator Obama, as POTUS, will disappoint as much as he has on this "fact finding" PR campaign.

So what have we learned so far:

that if the events had not happened as they did in Iraq, he would have been right in his plan for troop withdrawal

that ethnic cleansing reduces violence "There was ethnic cleansing in Baghdad that actually took the violence level down"

That he would not really listen to the command in field before coming up with his "strategy" for war since he was POTUS and not them. I guess that comes from his extensive military background.

Maybe, just maybe, one of the Obamaniacs on this thread would like to explain to me how Senator Obama's own Illinois senate districe has improved under his watch?

Also, I hit return too soon:

Obama is blatantly using and saying anything he can to try and get elected. This man desperately wants to be President. He'll exploit Israel for votes just as he'll exploit the Surge (which worked even tho he said it never would!)

Obama will be just the next in a long line of ineffective lefty presidents if he manages to get elected.

And you mainly see negative stuff from McCain because most of the press can't pull their heads from "Senator Bad-Ass's" rear end.

Once again an Israeli journalist asked the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee how he’d help prevent a second Holocaust. "Senator can you assure Israel that there will be no second Holocaust despite Iran's threat to wipe us off the map?" he asked.

Obama demurred, saying that it wasn't appropriate to answer the question there.

"This is Yad Vashem!" the journalist responded.

Obama said he would answer the question at a later press availability.

WHAT A HUGE INSULT TO JEWS EVERYWHERE. TO USE YAD VASHEM AS A CAMPAIGN PROP AND DISRESPECT THE ISRAELI QUESTIONER.

"'Senator can you assure Israel that there will be no second Holocaust despite Iran's threat to wipe us off the map?' he asked

NO.
