If American Jews are turning against him he had better watch out. They have been the most faithful friends he has had.

Please don't paint with too broad of a brush. The Jews here on FR, for example, opposed him vigorously throughout the campaign last year.

Furthermore, among demographic groups, blacks have been much more "faithful friends" of his statistically than Jews.

The fact that the Jews are just starting to realize that he cannot be trusted to offer and assistance in their preservation or even lift a finger to prevent their demise is what surprises me.

Honestly, what THINKING Jewish person would really believe BO was a friend of Israel??

It boggles the mind.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that this guy might finally be waking up and smelling the coffee...I’m just astounded he was that blind to reality in the first place.

Seems as if Solow has gotten some treatment for his addiction to Obama and other leftist ‘Rats. Addicts, though, have a high rate of recidivism. We wish Solow well, though, and hope that he is able to overcome the obstacles he will face in his recovery from his illness.

Obama must have done some fancy footwork in his years in Chicago for anyone to be hoodwinked into thinking of him as “the first Jewish president”:

From the article: For his part, Solow was clearly smitten with Obama and firmly believed that he could be counted on to nurture positive ties with Israel during his term in office. “I said with a smile that he will be the first Jewish president,” Solow boasted after Obama won the Democratic nomination. “He has a deep understanding of issues that confront Israel and the Jewish community.”

So he was romancing the Chicagoland Jews while sitting in the pews of Wright’s church every Sunday for 20 years? Obama is a sociopath and a LIAR.

Back in 2008 when Barack Obama was a relatively unknown candidate, I waded in on the question why he was supported by Jews in America. Now, the question is why do Jews continue to support Barack Obama but the answer, I think, remains the same:

Poll: Most Jewish voters want Obama to win

Monday, May 12, 2008 10:54:10 AM · 15 of 128

By way of full disclosure, I am an unalloyed goy so I might be wading into waters which are much deeper than I know as I make the following generalizations:

There is a scriptural commandment in the Torah and in those writings which exegete it, to go forth not to proselytize but to do good. As conservatives, we recognize there is a human tendency to want to do more good by grabbing the levers of government to organize the whole of society to do even more good.

If one is secular, and I think these statistics embrace secular Jews to a far greater degree than observant Jews, the temptation is almost irresistible to play God. If one is to play God, by definition, one seeks to play in the biggest playground of all and that is offered up along with control of the levers of government. Hence, Jewish secularists, like Christian secularists, as a group tend to be statists.

Jewish tradition going back to Russia is a tradition of socialism. For example, that tradition was carried over into the kibbutzim in Israel.

Jewish culture puts a premium on education and traditionally makes the fool the butt of jokes. This has been especially harmful to George Bush. In the modern American secular Jewish culture to announce oneself to be a Republican is the practical equivalent of taking a pratfall in front of all your neighbors and friends at the country club. Can you imagine a Jewish intellectual at a prestigious American University confessing to one and all that he supports George Bush? As a kid I can recall being told how stupid Dwight Eisenhower was and every subsequent Republican president in my lifetime has been called either stupid or clumsy or both -except Nixon who is just evil.

Liberalism is a substitute religion and therefore secular Jews, like secular goyim, gravitate to that political persuasion. Liberalism as a religion trumps religious affiliation of non- observant Jews and trumps cultural affinity to Jews who might otherwise be sympathetic to Israel.

Because of Europe's unfortunate history of programs, Jews traditionally are wary of aggressive Christianity and many secular Jews have not yet come to the understanding that American fundamentalist Christians are great friends of Israel and hence of Jews in general. There are other issues which Jewish history make Jews as a group favor one side as a matter of self-preservation. These include, for example, immigration. And they also include the end to segregation and civil rights for all races and creeds.

Barak Obama, of course, is the beau ideal of the black man, well-educated and articulate, who is on the right side of all of these issues and who embodies in his own person the inclusiveness which, if universally practiced, protects Jews as a class.

American Jews are second in line for support for this poser.
Blacks were obviously his People.

But that is all secondary, how is your son doing “in service to his country”?

Well, I for one, appreciated your thoughts. I'm not sure about all the organizing of society stuff though. We were told how to organize, and what I see is that many of us don't like what they were told and so they have perverted it into something else.

I guess Obama will now say that Solow has acted “stupidly”.

I guess I figured that most Blacks were a given. My son is well and in aviation training. Thank you very much.

Sorry. I figured most Blacks were a given for him. Liberal Jews are probably second. I enjoy Prager and Medved. I wish my Jewish friends were more like them in their political thinking.

Well, you can always cultivate online friendships with Jewish FReepers. There are more of us than you probably think.

And, BTW, are your Jewish friends showing any buyer's remorse toward "Osama" Obama?

I don't speak with them at all anymore. These were 30 year friendships. The last conversation I had with one of my Grad School friends was about the Jindal rebuttal. She thought he was crazy. I said I agreed with everything he said. I will never forgive my friends and relatives who voted for Zero and sold out my son.

PS-I suspect no buyer's remorse. They hated GWB but would never admit that Zero is a disaster. He's from the Ivys....he has to be smart and correct in his thinking doesn't he? I'm done with all that.

I won't even sit down to eat with a liberal, even if they are family. If they are liberals and I'm invited, I always have something else to do...

“g the Council of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, which was instrumental in getting Sarah Palin dis-invited from a Jewish rally against Iranian President Ahmadinejad last year, and Abe Foxman who runs the ADL as his own personal liberal lobbying group (for example since 2007 the ADL sent out letters in favor of abortion, illegal immigration and against Geert Wilders, but ignored the the case of a Florida woman whose condo was throwing her out for putting up a Mezuzah).”

Not very far yet. Prayers would be appreciated. Graduated his service Academy and has been training for a short time.
