Support for President Obama is waning among Americas Jewish population, polls indicate, a shift driven primarily by the presidents policies toward Israel.
The London Telegraph reported this weekend that Michael Oren, Israels ambassador to the United States, described the state of U.S.-Israeli relations in bleak terms, saying the two nations are in a state of tectonic rift in which continents are drifting apart. While Oren since has asserted that he was misquoted and that his words were less incendiary than reported, even relatively disinterested observers can see that relations between the allies are strained.
McLaughlin & Associates, a national polling company, recently released the National Survey of Jewish Voters which reported that while Jewish voters favored Obama 78 percent to 12 percent in the 2008 presidential exit polls, currently, only 42 percent of voters would re-elect him, while the plurality (46 percent) would consider voting for someone else.

It would seem that half of the Jewish 0bama voters are having buyer’s remorse, while the other half are completely glad with 0bama.
Idiots.
Maybe they’re catching on.
They might be figuring out that it’s not just Christians he intends to destroy, but Jews, too.
OWWCSDN? Oh, what will Chuckie Schumer Do now?
The Jewish people (like Gen. McChrystal) would be better served knowing who their friends are and who there enemies are.
Wake up call to the Jewish people: Israel has become the new South Africa. The country the Left loves to hate the most.
And BHO is a Muslim. According to Investor’s Business Daily 06/17/10 page A10:
“The American president told me in confidence that he is a Muslim. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said after a one-on-one meeting with Obama. He made the remarks on Nile TV.”
For some reason after I read this I thought of Rush’s first book:
“See, I Told You So”
I wouldn’t count on it. As a group they have a record of choosing despots to rule over them. Then they create a victim industry to cover for their cosmically poor decisions. I’ve only met a handful of Jews who really get it.

Second, but good point anyway.
They are so fanatic about Socialism and Communism, you just can't talk to them.
It is odd to say, but so many Jews I have known are at war with G-D. They extol and promote everything wicked and perverted by claiming that it is ‘enlightened’. These people that you support, they hate you. They want to kill you.
And even if you go to them and say, “I love you. I want to help you.” They will spit in your face.
Most Jews are crazy Leftists. Even though history shows us that the Leftists are the ones who like to kill them. They don't care.
There is no explanation. It is just unbelievable.
“Historically, there has been a consistent pattern of Jews voting Democrat. While there has been some disquiet among American Jews over the Obama administrations stance on the Middle East, there is a little evidence at the moment that this will significantly impact voting, he told The Daily Caller.”
What would it take, gas chambers? zero hates religious Jews.
All of the evidence was there before the election as to who BHO was.
Anyone who paid attention should not be surprised.
I have contempt for those who voted for 0 but now are “surprised” or have “buyers’ remorse.” Those so easily fooled should not have the franchise IMHO.
“There is no explanation. It is just unbelievable.”
There is an explanation...
“What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day.” And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them; let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs forever.” ...
” Lest you be wise in your own sight, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” As regards the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”
Romans 11
Yes there is and it is a bit complicated.
The pogroms in old Russia because they were Jewish were stopped on them by the communist.
Post that many Jewish intellectuals in the 1900's were communist or had that bent if they were in the philosophical arena. They carry this baggage also.
So they are philosophically carrying around great great great Grandma's and GrandPa's political baggage. I have read, something like 50 to 60% young Jews are leaning towards conservative political leanings. Perhaps they are finally shedding this baggage.
They’ve been voting like damn fools for decades. Actually voting for their own enemies.
It’s amazing how some sheep can so easily be led to slaughter.
Too little too late idiots.
Since I used to be one of them, I offer you an explanation.
The liberalism you describe is a personality characteristic of most American Jews the same way that it is a personality characteristic of most English professors. You have to acknowledge that Jews are not the only group that is overwhelmingly liberal. So are lawyers, professors of social science, humanities, etc. It is a personality characteristic.
Note that Jews in Israel, who are confronted with the realities of life, are completely different. They overwhelmingly prefer GOP candidates in US elections.
I believe that Obama was not headed toward capturing 80% of the Jewish vote in 2008 until McCain chose Palin and the lying MSM went on its smear campaign against her. That caused McCain to lose a fair number of Jews that had no intention of voting for Obama. It was disgusting, as usual, but that is the criminal MSM for you.
His first, which still graces my bookshelf, was
Oh, BTW, still excellent reads! :-)
