Neri Livneh, Haaretz Correspondent: ANALYSIS / Tzipi Livni is Israel's Barack Obama
Talkback
Title:At least Tzipi has some experience of high office
Name:Margie in Tel Aviv
City: State: http://theolive-branch.org
She doesn`t pretend to be of various religions while not being of any, nor did she visit foreign capitals to campaign there like a rock star as if the applause of foreigners would get her a shine that would make her voters elect her. She doesn`t exploit her good looks and nobody has ever seen her toss her hair back affectedly. Her voice is gruff and her manner is straightforward.

I don`t know whether Tzipi will be a good PM, I have my doubts, her policies are far from clear to me, but I do know that she will be far more solid than Obama.
