- U.S. President Obama's Healthcare Bill is an internal American issue.
- Israel is an independent foreign country. Though it is legal according to the United States and Israeli laws to be citizens of both countries simultaneously, Obama isn't. He has no vote in Israel and has neither a legal nor moral right to lobby/pressure the elected Israeli Government.
Another crucial point to ponder is that mediators are supposed to be sans opinions, impartial. That eliminates the United States and all the diplomats and international organizations from such a role between Israel and the Arabs. Peace between us and the Arab terrorists will be achieved when the Arabs want peace, the real stuff. Until then, any agreement or treaty isn't worth anything, because they'll break it. The Pseudostinians' aka Palestinians' sic aim is our destruction; they negotiate to facilitate that end. Just listen to them.

you are right on a number of points. but obamas success on the internal healthcare front gives his cache. it means he can do stuff, and has the power to win an important victory. and so, based on this display of his power, feels his pressure on israel will be taken more seriously.
roger cohen is so often wrong, and sometimes ridiculously so, it hardly pays to read him. [ex: he wrote once of the 'charming' way iranians lie in negotiations.]
a, what's this "he can do stuff?" It's like saying that a great baseball player should be able to be a great basketball player.
okay, so he is a great baseball player. this is something we must deal with.
Great baseball players are great in their own minds and while they are on their field. O'bummer already had all the visions of grandeur that he needs in his mind to try to attempt anything he wishes. We don't play baseball here in Israel; his skill set is useless. Ignore the pressure, fight back and say what needs to be said, loudly.
Yonatan, exactamente! Baseball struck out here in Israel.
