Ever since President Barack Obama took office, Jewish leaders have been asking for a meeting with him. The White House, apparently thinking Jewish support for Obama was in the pocket, put them off. But a major Jewish leader says that after Newsmax.com reported on deep concerns in the Jewish community about Obama’s Middle East initiatives and statements, the White House responded quickly by asking 14 top Jewish leaders to meet with the president on July 13.
Yet that important Jewish leader, Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, says he was barred from attending the meeting because of criticism he aimed at Obama.
In June, Newsmax reported that Klein and Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, believed Obama’s Jewish support was eroding as a result of his recent Middle East activities.

Ironic. Do they have to request a meeting with Obama through Rahm Emanuel?
Bambi doesn’t want to hear anything unflattering in the meeting...........just praise for his greatness
I find it even more ironic that 80% of Jews, my fellow co-religionists, have voted for O. And they get concerned NOW? Can they honestly tell themselves that they did not know?
There is an eerie parallel when FDR refused to see Jewish leaders or allow the St. Louis to port in America with 900 Jewish refugees in 1939. We know what happened.
No. There isn’t a parallel to refusing Jewish refugess that narrowly escaped death camps just because he refused to see one of 14 Jewish delegates that he probably felt had personally insulted him. We shouldn’t cheapen history like that. It makes other pogroms easier to initiate.
Don’t be fooled. The Jewish vote is firmly in the democrat column. What is the hold over the Jewish voters in this nation? Are they suicidal? Do they hate Israel? Do they embrace Iran? Do they deny their history? Are you people too blind to see?
Jewish support eroding? ROTFL! Jews would vote for a Hitler/Mengele 2016 ticket if they ran as Democrats.
0 is very open about his likes and dislikes.
Likes: jihadis, leftist dictators
Dislikes: Christians, Jews, conservative governments, normal hard-working honest people
Sorry for the double post!
Good point! How did your friends who voted for 0bama answer you?
Leftist Jews are leftists FIRST, Jews somewhere way down the line.
Dear Leader does not like criticism.
No matter what Obama is likely to do, he will retain most of the Jewish support. American Jews are more likely to observe the principles of Liberalism than Judaism.
Well yes there is a parallel when Obama allows Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, and forces Israel into untenable positions, I’m sorry but this is really serious and this is not cheap history. Unfortunately it is very expensive, and I see another US leader like FDR looking away from another holocaust!
The same way they answer to everybody else: start spewing nonsense and resort to calling names. Most of these people have forsaken Jewish values for the leftist mantra. Sad, very sad.
