Shouldn't Obama's priorities be the National Debt, unemployment, and getting the economy going than this stuff?

Are you suggesting that we send Joe Biden in to clean up this mess? I guess as long as he can get back before the LL world Series starts.

It's called multi-tasking and all Presidents have to do it, keeping us safe is a rather important function of government and in today's world that includes dealing with Muslims, Israel, and all sorts of different situations...none as simple as folks want to make them.

Obama sure isn't doing that great of a job multitasking.

I liked Bibi's response - "Your plan is not going to happen."

There will never be peace in the Middle East even if Israel gave back the 1967territory. The Arabs won't be satisfied until every Jew is out of the Middle East or dead.

These "negotiations" are akin to rearranging very old furniture trying to make it look like something new.

Well, when your party makes him get 60 votes, I don't think you really want him to do much. Why are you looking at him to do something when you won't let anything hardly pass with a simple majority? I mean do one or the other. If you want him to lead, then, stop acting like children. If you don't want him to lead, then, fine, but don't complain that he's not leading.
