What will Israel feel it has to do if O'bama is elected? Will Israel wait to see who is next USA President? Can it wait that long? Will anyone else act concerning Iran?

If it does influence it, it would benefit McCain, as Obama has absolutely no experience with foreign matters. Heck, he has no experience with domestic matters, for that matter. I think if Obama is elected, Israel will feel it is left to be on its own, and they will attack Iran.

A president leads change by selecting from the options available.
As far as Israel and Iran are concerned the US doesn't have a lot of options.
Doesn't really matter who the President is; USA will support Israel so long as Israel remains responsible in terms of world opinion.
Iran is a threat to global security. The region is seething with potential for spreading conflicts that could easily result in global conflict. Give Iran a nuclear weapon and strategic balances may shift too dramatically.
One more surface nuke is too many for the earth, not just Israel, to absorb. Global warming is nothing by comparison to the damage that will result from an exchange of nukes.
There may be a lot of nations that refuse to act today but refusing to act will be a cause for their sorrow later.
One radioactive device detonated in a major agricultural region or Urban area will ruin your entire day.

The republicans could create an invasion/war with Iran in October, just before the election to rally support for soldiers. This would be a patriotic influence that would be a benefit to McCain and republicans since they are pro war all the time. However, this idea of experience being a factor is not relevant at all. The last 8 years we've had an administration with a lot of experience and look at how bad things are today. We're in a war that we should never have been in (it's cost is 1 trillion dollars so far). Our economy is going down the tubes. Oil is sky high and we are so dependent on one and only one resource for our transportation needs. So much for experience! As I remember, Abraham Lincoln did not have a lot of experience when he became president. Most consider him the greatest president we've ever had. The link below shows that most presidents with a lot of experience were not considered the best presidents.

If Iran is threatening Israel with nuclear weapons then they are not only threatening Israel they are threatening the whole world..
The United States has always been a friend to Israel. It worries me that their are so many people in Q&A always asking about that.
But Nuclear Weapons is a threat to the world. It is a global security issue.
Obama said he would support Israel. America will always support Israel.

The biggest threat to global security is the United States. This was the result of a recent international survey and very obvious to everyone who has access to unbiassed media. Israel largely runs the US through powerful lobbyists - and no -I am not anti-Semite - just anti the true axis of evil which is the US and Israel. I am a citizen of a country which has fought, and is fighting, alongside the US.
