Jewish donors and fund-raisers are warning the Obama reelection campaign that the president is at risk of losing financial support because of concerns about his handling of Israel.
Some Jewish donors say President Barack Obama has pushed Israeli leaders too hard to halt construction of housing settlements in disputed territory, a longstanding element of U.S. policy. Some also worry that Mr. Obama is putting more pressure on the Israelis than the Palestinians to enter peace negotiations, and that the president has allowed relations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fray.
One top Democratic fund-raiser, Miami developer Michael Adler, said ...

Make the Libs heads explode!

"I do think there's an education disinformation job to be done, because there's lots of myths truths that abound and misunderstandings perfect understandings of the administration's record," she said. "The campaign is aggressively getting the information its lies out there."
>> That’s not funny.
Backhanded hostility.
For all my Jewish friends, how can some Jews be so blind as to not see who this man BHO is and what his goals are?
It is not rocket science, and yet there are so many Jews where liberalism trumps all reason. I truly believe these liberal Jews have a death wish and would vote for Hitler himself if his name had a (D) after it. [This would be after he told them is intention was to send them all to concentration camps.]
I cannot conceive of such willful blindness and stupidity. It is just alien to ever fiber in my being.
Underlying a significant if not virtually all of the stupid Jews type commentary on FR is acceptance of the classic antisemitic canard of dual loyalty.
the stupid Jews type commentary on FR>>>>>>
Plenty of that right on this thread!!
Yes, but amongst that minority the attempt isn't made by persuading on the issues, Israel not being high on most lists, rather amazement that the Jews aren't voting the way they should, for Israel's "benefit", rather than the issues related to America. On which we may all disagree. 7.I think it has been shown that in every state with a large Jewish population, Obama won it with a large enough margin that the Jewish vote was not what allowed Obama to win 8.This would be states such as Florida, New York, California
True in the last election, could have made a difference in 2000 had a few hundred more Jews voted for Gore and the near first Jewish VP. Of course as "large" states, both California and Florida are well under 4%. California, like states like Illinois and Nevada doesn't have enough Jews to even register on the exit polls. Which are based almost entirely on a NE sample plus southern Florida.
“Backhanded hostility”
Yes.
I do not believe Rev Wright, nor any other of Obama's nation of islam &/or black seperatist fellow travelers, make the distinction between isrealis and american jews when articulating their hatred.
How does this figure into your analysis?
“For a long timePat Buchanan and others have accused American Jews of dual loyalty. Now proven untrue! That so many Jews support Obama while he screws Israel, puts the lie to that.”
Won’t matter. Nuts like Pat (and Obama) need only the flimsiest of excuses.
“My amazement at the american jewish demographic’s voting tendencies for the most part stems from the fact Obama sat in front of a stone cold anti semite every sunday for 20 years before the majority enthusiastically supported him for president.”
Most know nothing about Rev. Wright. I think you underestimate the knowledge of the average Freeper in comparison to the average voter.
Here, years later, I tell smart people (doctors, lawyers, captains of industry) about Wright and it’s the first they’ve ever heard of him.
The lady living next door to me is a small business owner in town and had Obama signs in her yard during the last election season.
I think she's a dummy - not because I'm a mysogynist, but because I think its encumbent upon the average voter to understand who it is they're voting for, and to exercise their right to vote in an intelligently self-interested manner.
Like another poster said..... Few Americans and Jews here knew how awful Reverend Wright was. They dimly know of him but know only 10% of the relationship Obama had with him
Blame laziness and the mass media
So much for his billion dollar war chest.
I want to see todays response from them...these articles are from days ago..before Obamas speech. They had better come down against Obama...and clearly so.
It’s about time American Jews woke up and started supporting Israel as firmly as evangelical Christians are.
Sadly, some are lost cases.....in every way.
From 83% to 63%, that’s huge. Plus the President will be missing out on Millions of $$$ provided by the Jews.
“One top Democratic fund-raiser, Miami developer Michael Adler, said he urged Obama campaign manager Jim Messina to be “extremely proactive” in countering the perception in the Jewish community that Mr. Obama is too critical of Israel.
He said his conversations with Mr. Messina were aimed at addressing the problems up front. “This was going around finding out what our weaknesses are so we can run the best campaign,” said Mr. Adler, who hosted a fund-raiser at his home for Mr. Obama earlier this year.
“Good friends tell you how you can improve. They don’t tell you ‘everything’s great’ and then you find out nobody buys the food in your restaurants,” he said.”
I was hoping he would be warning them to stop coming around asking for money or he’d get a protective order/call the police/let his Dobermans loose. these Jewish donors make me want to vomit.
Wake me up when it’s 83% down to 3%, where it SHOULD be. Jews could swing the 2012 election. Yes, they could. My own personal horror is that for that to happen, Israel would have to be on death’s door, with half a dozen Arab armies on its’ borders, united for the first time in their religion’s conception in the seething desire to destroy Israel. American Jews will probably have to literally *taste* the destruction of Israel for their support numbers to shift significantly. They are so dumb, they can’t imagine it without a paint-by-numbers chart in front of them and maybe even half a dozen Israelis cities destroyed in smoking ruins. And I can say that, I are one.
