I have spent much of my adult life serving in our government to promote America's interests at home and abroad; I have made it a special calling to help Jews around the world, including Holocaust victims, and to strengthen the US-Israel relationship. It is with great pride that I support Senator Barack Obama to be our next president.
We are fortunate to have a youthful, brilliant, charismatic senator, whose vision is firmly planted in the 21st century, and whose best years are ahead of him, to help America meet the unparalleled challenges of a new era. He can get America back on the right track at home and abroad. The times and the person have come together for Obama.
We need fresh, new leadership and a clean break from the policies of the past eight years (many of which would be continued by Sen. John McCain) - at home to deal with the most serious economic crisis since the Great Depression; to restore America's competitive position by a new emphasis on innovation, science and technology; and to strengthen our middle class, which is struggling to make ends meet, by providing educational opportunities, universal health care, and tax cuts targeted to them, not to those who need it the least (which has been the focus of the Bush tax cuts McCain would make permanent).
Senator Obama would rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and launch a Manhattan-type alternative energy program to make our country independent of Middle Eastern oil within 10 years.

Another ringing endorsement! The Carter years did so much for Israel...
What a ding dong
The middle class has already enjoyed a substantial tax cut under GWB, one that Obama wants to let expire.
Hey, you know how we could give the middle class an even larger tax cut, Dems? Stop spending $3 f-ing trillion a year, mainly on your bogus sh*t.
Sums it up.

The PLO was also waging a brutal war against the Lebanese Christian community during this period, and carried out numerous massacres of Lebanese Christians; the worst of these was the killing of about 500 people in the village of Damour.")

Are you kidding? Is this a serious statement?
He has spent his entire life feeding at the Federal Trough. Of course he's voting for the Marxist. All the rest of his reasoning is nothing more than justification.
I’ve lost several of my Jewish relatives over this election. I don’t get it, and never will.
I believe Mark Levin said it best today when speaking about his fellow Jews voting for O:
“WHAT THE HELL’S WRONG WITH YOU??!?”
LOL
And THAT my friends, is why he is called THE GREAT ONE. :)
Huh?! Manhattan-style alternative energy plan? Illinois has some of the highest gas prices in US due to government-mandated reformulations and high taxes!
If this person had a real job he'd have been canned years ago.
These Jews are STUPID and in denial....
Obama is Pro Palestinian ....
Tell me this is from SCRAPPLEFACE, right??? No sane American could write this crap....
Maybe that's what it's about ~ fewer Jews, less effort from Eizenstat.
Looks like Jimmy Carter's antisemitism is a communicable disease.
My only solace is actually converting an Israeli jew (and his American-jewish wife) from the One
All it took was the Rashid Khalidi piece in the LA Times and he was sold. No further explaination needed (the one actually released, not the stifled tape)
Too bad they can’t all be so pragmatic...
Socialists support socialists, it’s that simple. And that includes republicans and pundits.
People voted for Hitler for the same reasons and look at the similar Socialist Dictator they got. Obama will be no different in his resolve towards evil.
I wish we could have all of the dammed liberals move to New York and California. They can have their socialist utopias in those states, and we can keep our nation the way it was meant to be for the rest of us.
On the other side of the coin. If a state like Alaska wanted to break away, I would seriously consider going there.
