Obama Lost the Jews, Hillary Clinton is Next
The Root Rant ^ | 9/14/2011 | Wayne Root

Posted on 09/16/2011 10:45:23 AM PDT by Signalman

By Wayne Allyn Root, Former Libertarian Vice Presidential Nominee

It’s all over for Mr. Obama. He is a one-term President, destined to go down in the record books as the man who presided over a second Great Depression, the destruction of the middle class, and the loss of America’s Triple A credit rating. The proof is found in the historic, almost unimaginable, GOP victory in Anthony Weiner’s old Congressional district in Queens. Yes, I said Queens- as in New York City. Heavily Democratic, heavily liberal Jewish, Queens, New York. The center of blue-collar white Democratic Party power. Republican Bob Turner pulled off one of the biggest upsets in U.S. political history there last night. He became the first Republican elected from this heavily Jewish Democratic Queens, NY district since 1923.

There are no excuses. In a district that is 40% Jewish and filled with Orthodox Jews, a 70-year old Catholic Republican upset a Orthodox Jewish Democrat from a prominent Queens political family. Democrats pulled out every stop. Big labor campaigned day and night for the Democrat. Former President Bill Clinton and popular New York Governor Andrew Cuomo lent their voices to get-out-the-vote robo-calls to Democratic voters. And none of it mattered. The Jews have abandoned Obama.

The average voter doesn’t understand the “inside Baseball” of politics. But here is the “Monarch Notes” of the GOP’s historic victory. First, the anger of white middle class voters towards Obama is boiling over across the country. If Obama has lost Jewish support in Queens, he’s lost support from white middle class voters everywhere. Second, Obama’s mishandling of the economy is destroying the middle class, and even lifelong Democrats in Queens, NY are feeling the pain (and clearly seeing Obama’s incompetence). But this picture is incomplete.

Here’s the big reason for this historic GOP victory that few outside New York understand: This race really was about much more than the economy or jobs. Sure those issues were a constant backdrop. But in the end, it was about common sense issues for Jewish voters: Israel and the Mosque at Ground Zero. Jewish voters are outraged at how Obama has treated Israel; disgusted with Obama’s support of the Palestinians, led by terror groups; and shocked by the support of both Obama and the losing Democratic Congressional candidate for the Mosque at Ground Zero.

The heroes of this once-in-a-century historic upset are former New York Mayor Ed Koch and the Republican Jewish Coalition, both of whom worked hard to spread one simple but powerful message to Jewish voters: “Send a message to Obama that Israel is America’s best friend, and you do not accept the way Obama has treated Israel.” The Jewish voters of Queens were told by Koch and the Republican Jewish Coalition that there was only one way to send this message- elect a Republican Congressman for the first time in modern history.

Message sent. Game. Set. Match.

But it wasn’t just Obama who heard the message. It was Hillary Clinton too. Hillary now knows Obama is weak and vulnerable…among Democrats. And among Jewish Democrats who have loyally voted Democrat their entire lifetimes. If the Jews have abandoned Obama, turn out the lights and close the door behind this President.

This political pundit predicted on Fox News Channel over 18 months ago that Hillary Clinton would challenge and defeat President Obama in a Presidential primary in 2012, once voters experienced the carnage wreckage of the economy under a socialist President. I believe Hillary is weighing her options at this very moment. She now knows that blue-collar white Democratic voters across America have broken with Obama. The Jews are the final straw that broke the camel’s back. It is now clear that in places filled with white blue-collar voters- like Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Texas- Hillary could defeat Obama in a Presidential primary- just as I predicted 18 months ago.

Only one thing is holding Hillary back from a decision to jump into the race. I believe she is concerned with political strategy. She now knows she can defeat Obama in a Democratic primary. Her only concern is the loss of black voters for the general election. If black voters see Hillary as a back-stabber of their beloved Obama, and sit on their hands for the 2012 general election, Hillary cannot possibly defeat her Republican opponent. That is the debate now raging in Hillary’s camp of political advisors. Her question is simple- Is there a way to defeat Obama but still retain the support of black Democratic voters for the general election? If Hillary and her advisers can come up with a positive answer, she will soon announce that she is running against the incumbent Democratic occupant of the White House for President of the United States.

Look to them working behind the scenes to fast-track investigations into Fast & Furious, Solaryna, and other criminal doings these past couple years. If they can damage him sufficiently, the Black community may not be as opposed (in their thinking).

You could be correct..but he's the ultimate narcissist...and couldn't stand the stigma of a huge public repudiation at the polls...especially if the Black Caucus starts to urge him tgo get out..

Remember 1980..late Sept..polls actually showed that Carter ws slightly ahead...( which was a total crock).today..it's a diffeent world..it's easy tgo trasck his rapidly declinign popularity..the trend ain't his friend..

They didn't happen to notice that he was "mentored" by a Jew-hating pastor for TWENTY years?

A poster noted something yesterday that says they can't even do this. Republican's have been branded racist, and to remove Obama from the ticket (no matter how you do it) breaks that contract and it cannot be broken or they loose issue.. Even if they follow your scenario, they still loose the black vote and probably forever.

The Dem's IMHO are in a loose - loose situation...

Problem is...Hillary's positions are almost indistinguishable from Obama's. HillaryCare, Israel, higher spending, her positions on the WOT.

How can she win Independents? And why would Jews be attracted to her?

The residents of Harlem still love Charlie Rangel, just as they adored Adam Clayton Powell a generation or two prior. Heck, you'd be hard-presses to find a Black person who believes that O.J. killed two people, despite a veritable mountain of uncontovertible DNA evidence.

Hillary is not the Jew’s best freind either. She is constantly hammering Israel for some perceived wrong and trying to get the U.N. to back up her charges.

The Uber Liberal ones distant relatives have made it known they would have ratther pulled the lever for Brunhilda, but many pulled R levers @ the State Level this year in MI because Verge B was such a loon.

They won't pull the lever for an "R" at the top of the ticket IMHO in 12' but they would pull the lever for Hillary.

Recent polls show him slipping in percentage points among Blacks. His popularity is still high, but not what it was. Should revalations about Solaryna and F&F become serious enough, this could impact those positives. With a Hillary run energizing the democrat base, this could be the difference. Remember, the Black vote is only 12%.

Agreed. She looses blacks and Indies, since they may see her as a re-tread, we need new blood.

If it was Palin vs. Hillary it would be in the words of Will Smith from Men in Black II: Old and Busted, New Hotness....

“Here’s the only plausible scenario..next summer..when his numbers show an impending defeat..senior congressional dems will ask him to step aside, and Hillary will be nominated by acclimation at the convention...”

And the Hildebeast’s running mate will be...Jessie Jackson, Jr.

In a general election... The Dem machine would be her only support. The economy will be so bad by then no person with any functioning brain cells would vote for her because she sings the same song of big government, progressive, etc. she has a closet full of skeletons, connected to muzzies, commies, arkancide, wall street, big business, unions, etc. epic fail.

Eggzackly.

And in addition - the Dem machine ALREADY kicked her to the curb - and when? When she was literally annointed to be president. If they didn't do that, neither Obama nor McCain could have touched her. People forget so easily, but her campaign manager wasn't even running a campaign for her, more like a "listening tour" until the votes were counted. She later tossed the campaign manager for this when Obama rose (natch), but it was Hillary's plan all along, of course.

And nothing's changed since then - except those that bailed on her would now have to count on her tender mercies towards them if she was elected (ROFL).

Well, maybe one thing has changed, since then: everyone's seriously out of time now. To paraphrase Admiral Yamamoto: the sleeping dragon has awakened - and arrived.

If she doesn’t challenge him then we are certain of a Democrat victory in the Election. She is, so far, the only credible possible contender against the kenyan in the Democrat Party. Without such a contender hordes of Democrats will turn Republican-for-a-day in the primaries and give us McRomney for the Republican nominee to produce an election wherein both candidates are chosen by the Democrat Party, kind of like in 2008. Even if Mitty wins the most votes it is the Democrat Party that wins the election by sanitizing itself of the kenyan and eliminating the Republicans from Congress in 2014 and getting the leftest possible Democrat as the President in 2016.

The word is LOSE. To lose is to be defeated. To loose is to release, unfasten. Loose-loose is maybe diarrhea? Try to overcome that public school grammar.

Team Clinton will leak evidence and info so that Republican sources can run with it to get rid of zero. That way the Rs get the blame, the DNC can play outraged victims.
