Olmert has a job.  He does not have a vision.
He limps from crisis to crisis without a plan for the nation.

The RAMATKAL, head of military during the war - gone!
The Defense Minister during the war - gone!
The Prime Minister during the war - in his office!

Ehud Barak promised to leave once the Report was issued.  He has/will not!

The MKs do not want to bring down the government lest they give up their seats.

One of the few MKs with integrity is Ofer Pines-Paz.

Israel needs an Obama.
