Obama will be a one term President because he failed to honor his campaign promises.  He has failed to lead his nation and allowed the Republicans to steal the lime light.  When Jewish voters voted for Obama they were holding their noses.

The birther movement started in an op-ed at Israelinsider.com.  Most Israelis did not support Obama, but Jewish voters in the US believe Israel must change its behavior or it will whither and die.  They believe that someone must push them to change.

They believed that the Democrat party better served their purposes.  I realize that you feel the Palestinian movement is the center of your life, but for most Americans it's the economy and jobs right now.  What is going on in Israel is a side show.

Since neither side wants peaceful coexistence, it's also a waste of time.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.

Firstly, Jewish Voters didn't hold their nose to vote for Obama ....... This is complete B.S. Jewish Americans are the most reliable democratic voters after Blacks. They even voted for Obama more than they did for Kerry, Gore & Clinton.

Secondly, Jewish Voters don't vote for Democrats because of Israel. Majority of Jewish Americans are Liberal in their Views .. that's the reason they support the Democrats.

" for most Americans it's the economy and jobs right now.  What is going on in Israel is a side show.

Since neither side wants peaceful coexistence, it's also a waste of time. " ......... here I agree with you 100%.

The US should let the Palestinians, Israel & Iran .. fight this one out on their own .. with any interference.

A Proud Progressive!!!

Obama will be a one term President because he failed to honor his campaign promises.

It would be nice if the world were that simple, but Obama's prospects for a second term depend heavily on what alternatives are presented in 2012. Obama's broken promises, sure...but he hasn't done anything that would make a rational human give so much as a thought to voting for Sarah Palin or Dick Cheney. Barring the introduction of a hitherto unknown miracle candidate, the majority of the country will go into selective memory mode and vote the safe way.

Sarah Palin is working the crowd to extract as much money as she can.  Not a chance.  As for Dick, Liz Cheney is a better bet.  He's ugly, she isn't.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.

You don't think Liz Cheney is ugly? Give it time...you will.
