Obama campaign launches ‘Rabbis for Obama’ (Gallup has it 68% to 25% among Jewish voters)

President Barack Obama's reelection campaign unveiled "Rabbis for Obama"—a group of more than 600 rabbis from across the country—at a time when Republicans are hoping to erode the Democrat's wide lead among Jewish voters.

"Their ringing endorsement of President Obama speaks volumes about the president's deep commitment to the security of the state of Israel and his dedication to a policy agenda that represents the values of the overwhelming majority of the American Jewish community," Ira Forman, the campaign's Jewish Outreach Director, said in a statement.

The announcement came with a state-by-state list of the rabbis backing Obama, who leads Romney 68 percent to 25 percent among Jewish voters according to a recent Gallup poll.

What does matter about Jews is not their vote but rather their influence in our culture and politics especially the media and entertainment complex where they have huge huge influence way beyond their numbers...now if they had a huge swing that could mean something big...

Well, in case you haven't noticed, there are quite a number of conservative-minded Jews prominent in media as political talkers and pundits and bloggers, etc. If you'll like me to give you a partial list of names, just ask. More currently, the producer of newly-released anti-Obama film, "2016," happens to be Jewish. Now hopefully that will be significant influence in the right direction.

Correction to post # 81:

The producer of "2016" is not Jewish.

At least the Jewish have Romans 11:25 to provide them hope, but I see no similar passage for Blacks, except the Gospel itself.

Not a death sentence, but they are looking to somebody other than God for provision of their security, which is the very same reason the Great Tribulation will be ushered into a fallen world.
