If senior journalist David Goldman is right, the correct word for describing the way a growing number of US Jews feel about President Barack Obama is not 'anger' but 'rage' – white-hot rage, at that, and a conviction that they have been swindled.
Goldman, Senior Editor of First Things magazine and 'Spengler' columnist for Asia Times Online, spoke last week at a convention on intellectuals and terror at Ariel University in Samaria. In his lecture, he quoted a top Jewish campaign donor who used the word 'sociopath' to describe Obama. In an interview with Israel National News, he predicted a possibly dramatic 'train wreck' for the Democrats in the November mid-term elections, with Jewish fundraising for Democrats drying up and a possibly high turnout of anti-Obama evangelical Christians.
INN: The recent McLaughlin group poll shows US Jewish support of Obama at about half its level in the 2008 election. Is this an accurate reflection of the mood among US Jews?

Who knows what these self-loathing Jewish nobama supporters will do. They have shown a history of being mentally disturbed through their consistent support of other marxist losers. The Jewish who support these self-destructive policies yearn for death.
Cantor is on the other side against conservatives, he supported Scozzafava and supports Mitt Romney, and is against Palin, and against Bachmann or tea partiers making gains in his congress.
I was in New York a couple weeks ago. One guy who happened to be jewish was showing a picture of his new baby.
He had the baby in a shirt with BO’s face on it. They all ain’t all got it figured out yet.
Bingo.
Top Jewish campaign donor: Welcome to the party. We’re so glad you finally got here.

Isn’t Bolton a conservative?
i think D Issa is of Arab descent, actually.
I mean’t to say, Isn’t John Bolton a Jew?
Back in ‘91 when my military son was sent to Iraq - my Jewish employer was quite critical of the mission and made no mention of my child’s sense of duty or honor.
Believing his concern was related to Israel, I asked him if he had family at risk in Israel. He snapped: “Why don’t you ask if I have family in Iraq”?
So I asked him: “Do you have any stupid family members in Iraq?”
Shut him up;)
Do we know the percentage of Jewish volunteers in the US military or are they all in Israel?
Yeah, cry me a river, American Jews have long been voting overwhelmingly for the very liberals that are only too happy to sell them out.
They made their beds, now it's time to lay in them. They're getting exactly what they voted for.
Beck did a good job of pointing out Obammy’s (and the left’s) hypocrisy on Israel. More important he compares the words of Hitler with the freedom loving muslims of today.

Some of them are really sllloooooowwwww learners.
moslems don’t like Jews. Guess some Jews have not heard about that?
American Jews aren’t big on military service.
They will still vote for (and pay for) Democrats.
My own guess: Harry Truman has decades' worth of coattails.
In a 2003 article this was the estimate.
“There are no statistics revealing the number of Jews currently in service, says Rabbi Nathan Landman, a former Air Force chaplain and now the deputy director of the Jewish Welfare Board’s Jewish Chaplain’s Council, a division of the Jewish Community Centers Association (www.jcca.org) — but experience tells him the numbers are low.
“Half the percentage of the population level would be optimistic,” Landman says.
Jews account for 2.1 percent of the U.S. population, according to the latest census figures. If Landman’s estimate is correct, out of an Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps totaling 1.4 million, fewer than 15,000 are Jewish.”
“Rabbi Bonnie Koppell of Chandler, Arizona’s, Temple Beth Sholom — a Lieutenant Colonel and the first female rabbi to serve as a chaplain in the armed forces — has a theory.
“I think in general it’s not part of the Jewish culture to be in the military,” she says. “You don’t have family traditions other than World War II, when there was a massive mobilization draft.”
Brilliant writer.
Great on Fox.
But he has a real temper and really can be mean and rude..though some have said that I am off on that and its only Lib scamming.

Issa is a Christian Arab American, not likely to swing Jewish voters our way.
Cantor might be an interesting VP choice.
