Jewish Leader Banned From Obama Meeting
Newsmax ^ | 22/7/09 | Ronald Kessler

Posted on 07/23/2009 1:37:45 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

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.

.....

Klein’s White House contacts told him flat out that he was shunned because of his strong criticism of Obama.....

“They said to me, ‘How do you expect us to invite you to a meeting with the president when you keep criticizing the president?’” Klein says.

Klein found the White House response to him surprising, and “remarkable that the president has said he wants to be bipartisan and reach out to people who don’t agree with him and that he wants to hear all good ideas, even if they’re different from his.”

Klein also found it ironic that he was chastised for criticizing the president, and banned from a meeting with top Jewish leaders, at the same time Obama has argued for sitting down and negotiating with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Klein said he told White House aides, “You won’t allow me in the meeting to discuss issues. And you want to negotiate with these evil haters of America, but I can’t be at a meeting where I would express my concerns very respectfully and responsibly?”

Because, Mr. Klein, you are expected to be Obama's flunky, whereas Ahmadenijad and Chavez are people he takes seriously. You got uppity. Bad flunky. Bad.

Anyway, what would be the big deal if his support among Jews were eroded? Good for Jews, bad for Obama. Win/Win. You even think like a flunky. Wake up already.

Well Damn, in 2012 Obama may only receive 80% of the Jewish vote.

Recent polls of voters in the Chicago cemeteries, and among ACORN imaginary playmates, indicates that only 99% will vote for him next time around.

Or they, and the other disillusioned fringe left, could all just “stay home” and NOT vote - personally that works for me!

Sorry, Morton, when Iran destroys Israel and annihilates millions of Jews, Obama doesn’t want anyone around who might possibly demur or frown. Only those Jews ready to smile and applaud are welcome.

Mr Klein:

Dissenting opinions are not allowed by this administration.

Your fellow liberal Jews will never see this as they cannot tolerate any dissent as well.

I’m not sure that destroying the only real ally we have in the Middle East is worth it even if this voting block is so misguided. One thing you can count on, the surrounding countries will never be our true allies, and will do whatever it takes to destroy us.

Amen brother, cause this messiah wanna be falls way, way, way short! I’ll keep the true Messiah, The Lord Jesus Christ. You can send this one back to Kenya where he came from.

And interestingly enough the name "Barak" means lightning in Hebrew.

I don’t think it’s possible to do a surgical screwing quite that precise. He’ll simply screw us all.
