Do it, make if front page news in the NY Times and the LA Times. The Rs need more Jewish voters.It won't make any difference. To Leftist Jews, Leftism is at once their ethnicity and their religion, the same as with all Leftists.

Do you think the GOP will pick up a few Jewish votes?

Exactly. Radicalism is the religion of the left. It doesn’t matter if they’re Jews or otherwise.

You may be closer than you think Israel isn’t to be messed with by anyone.

I frankly have no idea how much discretionary power the president has in this area. Congress has been deeply involved over the years in sanctions debates; I don't know if the president has the authority to act unilaterally.
If Obama attempts an unprecedented power grab on sanctions, it creates an interesting situation because economic sanctions involve prohibiting otherwise lawful trade or investment. Such an action automatically creates an injured party, or multiple injured parties, in both the U.S. and the sanctioned country. These parties would presumably have immediate recourse to the courts without interminable arguments over standing. In Obama's power grabs to date, standing has been a recurring hurdle for opponents. That would not be the case here.
I may object to Obama's actions on the DREAM Act, DOMA, Obamacare, and immigration, but my philosophical and policy disagreements may not get me very far in court. But if Obama tells me that I can't sell a paperclip to an Israeli because he's decisded he prefers Hamas to Likud, I have a dollars and cents injury, and I can be in court the next day.

That could be... interesting.
The pro Israel lobby used to be very strong (and I suspect still is). For a sitting US president to blow it off like this will be an interesting thing.

Thanks for the ping.
If you look closely at the picture in post #25 you can see that his pupils are quite dilated. I wonder what he's on...besides pure evil, that is.

Where are all our brave Congressmen and Senators? Is there any longer a point to their offices?

There is a book which posits that whenever
the US attempts put Israel in an untenable
position, YHvH directs a natural calamity to
strike the US. Think: Katrina, Kennebunkport William Koenig "Eye to Eye"
