      This is the debt getting bigger, it does not make the government bigger.

    I do surely hope that Obama's dreams for this country materialize against all endeavors to the contrary by the Party of War & NO.

    Good morning folks.
    I am surprised that there is no mention of Israeli elections.Perhaps because netanyahu barely managed to stay on.

    People of Israel have spoken bringing the country sanely back to center left. Winner is Yesh Atid the party whose priority has always been the peace process.
    Far right madcaps have been bruised in these elections.
    I congratulate the people.

    Right time for the US to take a lead in moving the peace process forward & sincerely aim for a resolution of the conflict.

      @ saywhat
      I've been trying to respond, but again am being blocked.

      I'm just trying to say that at least now we have the president who is not afraid of peace.. Hopefully now that Netanyahu has been shown what the people want, he will be more open to the peace process without all of his ridicoulous conditions.

    To the center his coalition will move but still in power Netanyahu will be. Uncertain the future appears.
