He doesn't have a 'messaging' problem. He has a record of bad policies and anti-Israel rhetoric.

This is a preview of what President Obama might face in his re-election campaign with a demographic group that voted overwhelmingly for him in 2008. And it could affect the electoral map, given the battleground states—such as Florida and Pennsylvania—with significant Jewish populations.
In another ominous barometer for the Obama campaign, its Jewish fund-raising has deeply eroded: One poll by McLaughlin & Associates found that of Jewish donors who donated to Mr. Obama in 2008, only 64% have already donated or plan to donate to his re-election campaign.

Didn't Reagan have the best record in the most recent past of carrying the Jewish vote?
It was a number in the 60's maybe even this 64%.
If so it looks like the stars are alining for another 1980 repeat, if so an I have been saying this for eons now, watch Michigan.
Historically inclined Freepers, please chime in ya or nay on my recollection...
“Part of the Jewish vote disapproves of Obama’s handling of Israel because he hasn’t pushed the Israeli government harder for concessions.”
Do you have a figure or a reference for that statement?
Only 64% have already donated? WOW that is Encouraging
Another symptom to watch for between now and the upcoming Presidential election in November 2012 - the number of dim-0-crat “retirements” in the House and the Senate.
I’d love to see side-by-side pictures of Bibi and Barry at 22.
You are right, but if so that means the Rats are truly jumping the ship. Gone is the 18 month envelope we saw with the last volley of retirement notices so that they could line up candidates to fill their shoes. This puts the DNC behind the 8 ball for these "new retirement" seats as they scramble to find a fill-in, teams, and money.
If so, we are looking at a titanic swing in the other direction un-doing the election of 2008 when the B@$+ards especially stole the Senate with the stunts they pulled in AK and MN....
This New York election demonstrates the voters now understand Obama has no idea what he is doing, AT ALL.
They are saying Obama cannot find his ass with both hands and THEY ARE RIGHT.
The voters are saying Obama is an incompetent jackass.
Really! How stupid can you get? 64%? Holy sh*t, that many Jews STILL believe in Obama? Based on what?
He’s Muslim.. pretty simple to me.
We're forgetting many Jews work in the financial industry in New York City (there's good reason for this: the most famous founders of Goldman Sachs and the late Lehman Brothers investing companies were German Jews) and while they were supportive of Obama in the past, they're now quickly souring on him because they now know Obama does not have a clue on how to manage the national economy, especially with the strong volatility of the stock market since middle July 2011.
Only 64%.
O N L Y SIXTY-FOUR PERCENT???
This is clincal insanity.
Because the Jews are finally waking up and coming to their senses.
But now that three classes of college graduates have gone to spawn in Obamaworld since he took office and discovered he's a complete idiot despite what Jay Carney and Chuck Schumer have to say about him, they see the man behind the bull$hit.
Even the dopes at Democratic Underground are acknowledging that they might have gone too far with their radicalism.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

It wasn't 64% of Jews, it was 64% of Jews who donated to Obama for the 2008 cycle.
Not all of the JEWS are complete idiots, some are starting to realize either Barry Hussein Obama has a pro-Muslim agenda or even more obviously, Barry is a radical Muslim Manchurian candidate.
Other Americans aren’t that smart. They won’t figure out Hussein is a Muslim traitor until the terrorist start bombing malls and cutting off Christians heads.
That is still far too many Jews who identify/ied with Obama in 2008 or now. Any Jew living with his/her eyes open can see who Barry really is and how ineffective he is. Why is this not obvious?
The spin is making this look like a Jewish vote rather than a Democrat vote.
