From this side of the ocean, I have a few comments -
• First - the incredible and close relationship between the people of the United States and the people of Israel will not change. It is a bond forged over not only decades of communication and trust, but also mutual exchange and assistance. No, this is not about the US giving and Israel taking. That is the relationship the US has with most of the Arab world, certainly with the Palestinians. You do not share a culture with them; a sense of humanitarian growth and respect. You will likely find yourself guarding your country more in the next four years than in the past because Obama has sent a clear message to the terrorists - a message of weakness, confusion.
He is the child worshiping from afar. From outside the window of Islam, he looks in and sees only the glory he perceives while ignoring much of the ugliness that also stains a culture built on death and martyrdom.
We, Israel and the United States, are the ones who rush into natural disasters to save lives; we are the ones who look to tomorrow with hope and the change we wanted didn't come about but that will not defeat us.
• Second - the relationship between the military of the US and the military of Israel will remain close, strong, united in a common goal - to protect our lands, our people, our freedom. We fully expect the US military to continue to use Israeli resources, take advantage of training we offer here in counter-terrorism, and more. We will continue to share our abundant intelligence resources and knowledge as we have so often in the past. The day may come when the Iron Dome we invented and developed, will be shared with the US to protect it from missiles. Yes, Israel receives much aid from the United States and we hope that will continue to the mutual benefit of both countries. Obama said he had Israel's back - what he failed to point out is that it is mutual, and we have yours.
• Third - the truth of what Obama is will now be unleashed on the US. I believe that. What he did for the Marines and diplomats in Libya may come out, it may not but I have little doubt it will be repeated in other places and in other ways. He is not a leader of action, but of words. His words alone will not defend US diplomats and travelers around the world.
• Fourth - ultimately today, as yesterday and tomorrow, the world is not ruled by Barack Hussein Obama. This is the day that God created - this dawn that has just come to Israel in the last hour or two and the dawn that will come to America in another 5 or 6 hours and beyond. Our future was never dependent on Obama - not for security, not for financial support. Yesterday, our sons defended Israel, flew the skies over our lands. Today, they will do the same...and tomorrow as well.
Israel's message to the American people, in my opinion, is very clear - we have always been friends - recognized within minutes by Harry S. Truman and almost every US president since. We stand by you today as we did yesterday and as we will tomorrow and trust and believe you stand beside us and behind us as well.
Israel's message to the American government, in my opinion, is very clear - you have made your position known to us.We will not grovel before you, though we are ready to meet you as partners. Do not tell us what to do - do not believe for a moment that we are foolish enough to believe your words if your actions speak louder. Treat us with the respect we have earned as your only friend in the Middle East, or accept that we will not risk our security for your absurd dreams of an enforced peace that will only serve to weaken us.
Again, for those in the US who are concerned and have already written to me - Israel is as safe today as it was yesterday and as it will be tomorrow. Our future is in the hands of God, our government, our sons and daughters.
If we need to attack Iran, we will - and Obama, you can hear about it on CNN.
Obama, you made your disdain for Israel very clear, even if the majority of Jews in America chose to ignore it. We see you for what you are, though they do not.
Feel free not to visit here during your second term as you didn't during your first. Feel free to continue to ignore the incredible knowledge we have sadly acquired in the fields of counter-terrorism and military intelligence - that too is to our credit and to your loss.
To the US people - we stand beside you, behind you - no matter who your leader is or will be.
To the US government - if all you have to say to us is how you envision our security and what concessions you want us to make, give us a call in four more years.
God bless,

The good and the bad in the election results.
America has spoken. Obama has been given his victory. America will get the government and the leaders it elected and cannot now cry over the results that will come in the next four years. Some of us can and do regret the results, but we will live with them, no weaker than we were yesterday, no less aware of what this so-called victory will mean for Israel and for the US.
