HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN

When Obama speaks he speaks for himself, his tzars and the ignorant public who are more concerned with who is playing who on TV than truth. I work in the home service business. I visit 3 to 8 houses a day I ask almost everyone what they think about Obama's health plan and other policies. I find that many who once supported him are turning away from him now that his true colors are starting to show. I have had people tell me that they voted for him, but are now sorry they did. Obama is no friend of Israel. When he recently said to the UN that America can no longer support Israeli settlements. I could no longer contain I cried out BOO! BOO! BOO! MR Obama you do not speak for me or the heart of my fellow Americans.

This study obviously has sampling error. I have never seen a President so privately criticized and suspected.

And I am one of millions of Christians who also find it encouraging to know that a strong movement for peace exists both here and in Israel.

Now if the U.S. Congress only felt the same! Maybe these poll results will help them see some truths they don't hear from AIPAC.

Peace loving Jews

I am a Peace loving Muslim and it is very encouraging to see peace loving Jews.
