C'mon! No takers! Where are all the political peeps on here????

Well, I can't tell you what he would do but I can tell you what he should do...

He should get rid of all ties with Israel and let them deal with their own problems. Forget Israel, forget Palestine, he should mind his own business.

Instead of spending billions on Israel, maybe the billions should be spent on the people who can't afford preventing death from treatable diseases, or to give free post secondary schooling, or something like that...

He should stop wasting money on Israel, should denounce the neo-nazi regime, and concentrate on taking care of his own people and country because we all know the US is falling apart.

Well, we can agree on some of what you said. There is more internal issues that need to be addressed than I can ever remember. However, I don't think many of them can be fixed. I believe there will be some kind of global conflict that will force changes eventually. Existence is becoming more and more reactive. Honestly, I wonder if the variety of people in the US will ultimately be part of it's downfall. There is no cohesion.

I'm not sure of what you mean by the word "variety". I will attempt a guess that you are talking about the multi-cultural aspect of variety...

If you look at Canada, its society works very well and "variety" of people live very well together. There are, of course, cases of racism and xenophobia as in any society; Canada is far from being perfect. I don't see how multiculturalism can make a society degrade in any way.

If what you mean by variety is the different people who make up the country's political or ideological groups, then I can understand. Politically, the right and the left are at a very serious crossroad. How far must one or the other give in in order to make the country work. I think that both sides are a little too powerful and seem "too proud" to give in a little to make things work. Any government system with only 2 sides makes it very difficult to get things done: it's always about undoing what the last group did while in power and re-doing what was undone the last time by the other group... I hope I make sense...

Anyway, as far as Obama is concerned, his efforts to better the US are well intentioned in general. I think that the moves he's made concerning health care, reversing Bush's torture policies, his attempts to close Guantanamo, his recent stance on Israel, and others that escape my mind at the moment are great steps to salvage what Bush left for him.

Love him or hate him, (here comes the cliché line) he was left with a very difficult task. Bush left him with a whole lot of things to sort out and take care of. Bush didn't finish his own business and Obama is stuck cleaning the place...
