Finally, Peres

Shimon Peres is finally the new president of Israel. I think he should have been nominated years ago, and i believe he will bring back substance into this position. Many people believe that the Israeli presidency is an empty title, where the president has no real power (besides handing out get-out-of-jail pardons). I think it's the man that defines the job, not the other way around. Peres is probably the only one that can do that. Can't wait to see how he does that.
