    This is one of the reasons why I keep saying that voting is an exercise in futility.

    Yes.
    due to the spineless nature of our elected and the undue influence of the Isreali lobby "our interests" and Israel's may get conflicted. I have no problem with Obama revisiting the alliance.

    Americans are citizens of America, not Israel. Why don't Israelis donate money to America to help repay its debts?

    Lobbying should be banned.

    Agreed. It almost sounds as if Israel is using American money to force the American tax payer through AIPAC to donate taxes to Israel instead of repaying the national debt.

    It should be the other way around. Israel being the "ally" it claims to be, should donate money to America to help it to repay its massive debts.

    I say 100 mil a year for humanatarian aid for the entire world. Charity begins at home.

    We need to be energy independant so we don't have to waste money overseas with countries that hate us and rob us blind.
