      I agree with you that President Obama is on top of things and doesn't hit problems with a bomb when a phone call will do just as well or better. People seem to think he is weak but, they are used to the drastic force example set by the war mongers on the right (let's all chant Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran). If RMoney was in control, we would already be at war with somebody - or everybody. We cannot sustain another war. This country needs to get itself in better shape with its infrastructure before we sink trillions more in unnecessary wars.

      Israel and Egypt already know where they get money from. They aren't dumb enough to bite the hand that feeds them. That is our leverage and Obama uses it very subtly without force.

      JSmith, you make statements without any proof. What makes you believe what you are saying?
