31. He Needs The Jewish Vote To Win
Dan ,   USA   (12.06.11)
Obama is duplicitous, a liar and anti Israel, but America's liberal Jews will vote for him anyway because being a Democrat is as important to them as being a Jew and they don't support Israel anyway. They must show how liberal they are. What could be more liberal than giving your money, time and vote to a black, Muslim, non U.S. citizen.
32. Israelis...Could This Be True ?
A.C.Guard ,   USA   (12.06.11)
Within the last few days there was a story in many newspapers and blogs that Obama was gaining popularity with Israel's Jews. Is this true? How could it be true with all the anti Israel talk recently from Clinton and Panetta ?
33. Agreed Ben Jabo(#20), it definitely is
BH ,   Iowa   (12.06.11)
I didn't say it wasn't bad now. But can still get worse! Four more years of CAIR (Muslim Brotherhood front group) infiltration and entrenchment in government. Four more years of allowing every totalitarian Islamist regime to act unopposed. Higher taxes. Higher spending. Higher debt. Gutted defense. Greater dependence on foreign energy. Weaker position against China. Uncontrolled illegal immigration. It's no secret how bad the economy has got during this term. Our security has got even worse. The only thing keeping BHO somewhat in check is Republican control of the House of Representatives. It that changes we're going down. Hard. Either way a second term for Israel/Jew hating BHO would be devastating. He would no longer have to restrain his radical ideology as he would no longer be eligible to run for reelection. He would no longer have to pretend not to hate Israel and Jews as he would no longer need his liberal Jewish donors. Right now he's a backstabbing false friend to Israel, in a second term he may be openly hostile to Israel. In a second Barack Hussein Obama term things would go from exceedingly bad to much much worse.
34. It's your country Americans: do what you want with it BUT
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.06.11)
it's OUR damn World and we care! Conclusion: get rid of the Muslim Menace Chief in the White House... or else!!!
35. "jews"that vote for b.o. have a problem
jason white ,   afula, israel   (12.06.11)
with self hate. All Americans that vote for b.o. want to destroy the U.S.
36. I think he is HOT!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A./ Israel   (12.06.11)
Im voting for him again.
37. Obama can kiss the Jewish vote good-bye
Scott Simon ,   Beer Sheva, Israel   (12.06.11)
A NY republican Congressman recently winning in a very heavily democratic dist., with a lot of Jewish voters should be his wake-up call. He is the most anti-Israel president ever.
38. Response to # 24 Birdi
RC ,   USA   (12.06.11)
Amen. Thank you for the blessing Birdi, I really need it right now with some of the things I am going through. I will not burden you with my problems though, More than once have I saved others when many people around me froze up and I am ready if YHWH calls me. May you and all of Israel be blessed forever.
39. @ 24 Birdi, second attempt
RC ,   USA   (12.06.11)
Amen. Thank you for your blessing Birdi, I sure could use it and some prayers right now. Bless you also.
40. Seriously?
Kim ,   SA   (12.06.11)
I cannot believe that American Jews with the remotest interest in the well-being of the State of Israel would vote for this man, who quite patently is an anti-semite. I guess it boils down to concern for their own comfort and national identity as Americans versus support for Israel. Remember pre-war Germany and the attitude of the German Jews.
41. worst president since carter. better be a one term guy. or
ralph   (12.06.11)
else whole world in trouble.
42. Obama will have turned to be the worst President for the
Adam Smith   (12.06.11)
Jewish people; even worse the Jimmy Carter was. Voting again for this man is an equivalent of helping Jews commit a collective suicide. His second term, if it comes to it, will see the trampling all over international laws that allow for Israel to ensure its national and security interests. And, at the same time the rise of Islamism around the Jewish state - with Obama's assistance - eager to bring about the demise of this tiny liberal democratic country and the strongest, oldest and most loyal ally of the U.S. in the region. That will have been Obama's legacy should we not stop him before it is too late.
43. Obama and Jewish vote
AZdude ,   Tempe, AZ, USA   (12.06.11)
Clearly Obama thinks Jews are stupid. He is the most anti-Isreal I can remember. Saying one thing and doing another, and then expecting people to buy what he says is insulting.
44. 31 of the 33 postings here convince me Obama will win BIG
Michael ,   California, USA   (12.06.11)
45. Obama is horrible for Israel
shaun green ,   pasadena usa   (12.06.11)
Everyone in the US knows it. American Jews vote for his party based on American policies that have nothing to do with foreign relations or religion. It's weird, but in America Jews vote Left, and the Left hates Jews, but the Right loves them, and are openly Zionist, and rarely get's their vote.
46. Good luck with that.
Scott ,   USA   (12.06.11)
47. The boy means well, but he's misdirected
Ezra ,   San Diego   (12.06.11)
Obama is just another misdirected politician. He needs to apply for the U.N. secretary general position. He's made enough of a mess taking the advice from his liberal friends who have managed to spend more than they receive.
48. He goota be kinding!
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A./Israel   (12.06.11)
Is he deranged? After all damage he caused to Israel he still dares to ask for the Jewish vote? Has he any decency he would retire now. Jews will never allow him to win a second term. He is finished. Zeu.
49. Jewish vote.
Bill Molnar ,   Elkhart, United Stat   (12.06.11)
Voting republican is voting for Israel. I have seen that Obama does not care. I do not trust him to support Israel. I am not Jewish, but I am a friend of Israel.I think Obama is a disgrace.
50. Obama fooled us Jews once; not again
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (12.06.11)
I trust USA Jews will put their people survival before economics. They quote Reagan and Bush as having been bad for the economy: Where will Israel be now with an islamised middle east, Iraq under nuclear Iran influence And how did Obama do with the economy? Stupid is not the word Crazy and destructive. All the bail out into the pockets of perpetrators not the poor debtors.
51. After three years of direct and indirect insult from
Jerry J. Greenberg ,   Rockville, MD U.S.A.   (12.06.11)
the Obama White House at the Jewish people and its national home and its leaders, it is impossible for this voter to even contemplate voting and contributing to this man again. I should have known better three years ago, but as most Jews, I was too naive and as a result voted for the person who will probably be recorded in the annals of American Presidency as the worst friend of Israel and the Jewish people.
52. So, why he doesn't come to Israel ???
selman   (12.06.11)
53. Nr 36 and 48 is probably not Sarah.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (12.06.11)
54. I will NEVER vote for Obama!
Florida Jew   (12.06.11)
55. Heaven forbid ANY republican wannabee president
Robert ,   Australia   (12.06.11)
The US, Israel and the rest of the world would suffer more if the Republican shambles manage to occupy the whitehouse. You don't know when you are well off.
56. Mine is going to be the last generation of Democrats in the
David D. Small ,   Lake Worth, Flr.   (12.06.11)
family, and all due to the ideas put forth and pushed by Mr. Barack Hussein Obama.
57. To #55 Robert in Australia
Rick ,   Los Angeles CA USA   (12.06.11)
I think being upside down hanging from the globe has caused you brain damage. A long nice vacation on the northern hemisphere will make you see things as they really are.
58. Sarah B = Jewish Conspiracy?
mba ,   Israel   (12.06.11)
"Jews will never allow him to win a second term" = Am I reading correctly that you actually endorse the conspiracy theory that Jews control the US government and it's electoral process? Be careful, it's a slippery slope from here.
59. Obama seeks Jewish vote
Spencer ,   Israel   (12.06.11)
Any Jew who votes for Barak HUSSEIN Obama must be a real nitwit, and a person who cares NOTHING for israel. As an American citizen can't they see the harm this arab loving President has done to the USA, and as a Jewish American can't they see how anti Israel this man is? The sooner this "man"and his sidekicks are out of office the better.
60. IN view of Obam'as negative attitude's
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.07.11)
towards Israel, any Jew that would vote for him, would be comparable to the Jews that voted for Hitler
