President Barack Obama had a message for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday: German Chancellor Angela Merkel would not have accepted an invitation to speak before Congress without first notifying him.
“As much as I love Angela, if she was two weeks away from an election, she probably would not have received an invitation to the White House, and I suspect she wouldn’t have asked for one,” Obama said at a Monday press conference after meeting the German leader in Washington.
Obama’s comments are said to reflect his anger over the fact that Netanyahu accepted an invitation from House Speaker John Boehner to address a joint session of Congress. […]
Israeli officials told a television station on Friday that they are convinced the Obama administration has already agreed to most of Tehran’s demands in the current negotiations over its nuclear program. The unnamed officials claim Washington “has given the Iranians 80 percent of what they want” in the negotiations, Israel’s Channel 10 reported. …

85% of American Jews living in Israel and voting absentee voted repub.
Overall the Jewish vote is not tremendously different than the catholic vote. Especially in the blue states where there is a large Jewish vote to be had.
I hate him.
He hates America and western civilization
But what is worst is this realization I had election night in 11/2012
60% of whites voted GOP
And still we lost.....that would have indicated a landslide historically......I had not till that moment how quickly this was upon us....I expected it mid century
It was nothing more than a harbinger of the demographic winter to come
We can elect Ted Cruz or Sarah or Walker next year but it will only postpone the inevitable
Ultimately this battle to take back America will not be won with votes
I’m sure Merkel REALLY appreciated that comment.
What an egotistical crybaby! (I guess I’m repeating myself)
Yes, the amount of butt-hurt coming from pResident Erkel probably surpasses anything he experiences after a reunion with Reggie.

And you are correct, the most staunch supporters of Israel are American protestants.
two comments —
1. Obama has conquored by dividing us. Every president in my lifetime tried, some better than others, but they all tried to bring us together, foster harmony or, in the words of our founders, domestic tranquillity. Obama’s very cleverly rekindled a terrible racism in America, something I did not think possible, but its worked for his elections
2. There is a good measure of social conservatism in Latino or Mexican culture. And, while some of the immigrants like welfare...many others come here for the old-fashioned idea of economic opportunity. Similar comments for our massive influx of folks from the PRC. THe R party should be able to reach out to these growing segments of society...reach out with generally conservative values and policies...but reach out. Either the R’s don’t reach out...or else they reach out with liberal D programs and values. Mistake either way. I firmly believe (based on just the Chinese and Mexicans I meet, yes)..that the R party should be capable of capturing a substantial part of these votes.
Indeed, there is still a core of black people in America that believe in generally socially conservative morals...and the black ‘vote’ should be well within the R party’s grasp....by the simple expedient of actually reaching out and providing black voters with the accurate information about the D party being the slave party while the R party stands for abolition of slavery and equal opportunity, etc. I’m not claiming the R’s can win the black vote, but the R’s can sure as Heck do a whole lot better than 3% !!!!
I’ve never seen any party campaign so incredibly ineffectively, to the point of looking all like they wanted to throw the elections...than the R party in 2008 and 2012.
Please don’t write off the Mexican or Chinese votes, at any event. They can be attracted to a good candidate with a good program and a good outreach to communicate that good program
In my somewhat-humble opinion, at any event.
We’ll see what the R “leadership” (so-called) does next.

Zer0 had better get off his high horse. These are dangerous times and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to get our help. The time is upon us to take out Iran’s nuclear weapons program. There is no backing down from our obligation. Neville Chamberlain tried it and German missiles rained down on London in 1944 with devastating results. Instead of V2 missiles, Iranian nukes will create horror that man has never seen in his entire history.
I have no clue the impact of the vote of Jews who vote US elections but live in Israel
What makes how Jews vote matter is their huge influence in media and film.....not their vote except in Florida
But if they want....and they often do....they can send out a tsunami of biased films and agit prop and slant news on certain networks and print or new media where libtard secular Jews have major influence
Do they control it all....no of course not...it’s untenable
Are they the loudest voice....in my opinion and interaction with folks in national media and film....yes
Examine who attended the media planning committee for Kerry at Al Frankels UPW co-op in 2004 or the journolist scandal in 2008
Imagine all those Jewish media types being GOP operatives instead or if Weinstein or Iger or Moonves or Katzenbergs or Diller or Getten etc were conservatives like David Sarnoff...God bless him....was
It’s just how it is sadly.....it’s never changed.....except in 1980
Anyhow....Jewish vote in 2008 was 74% and in 2012 70%
Catholic vote 54% and 50% respectively
That is a 40% disparity.....more than tremendous in politics where 15% is a landslide
And the white catholic vote which is actually a more fair comparison broke heavy for the GOP.....55-60%
I’m not Catholic.....my demographic group votes around 90% GOP
Hat tip Ben Shapiro and his research
Sorry
You are where I was 25-30 Years ago but I won’t condemn you for it
I spent nearly 2 decades living in and absorbing the third world mindset
It’s coming here
The public assistance rates for legal immigrants is nearly twice that of native born
Take blacks out of total and immigrants are on public assistance exponentially higher
No minority except Christian Arabs and Vietnamese has ever supported GOP in modern era since the 1920s in a national election
Karl Rove fudged that Bush got around 40% but that was a bald faced lie
That’s a 20 points, not 40. Still Catholics, even white ones landslided for Obama. The difference is of degree, not sort. Even worse, the church leadership loves the democrat positions, and only disagrees over abortion. And even then, they never excommunicate or deny communion to Dem politicians like Pelosi who champion and celebrate it.
But while I will give you that Jewish people are heavily represented in the entertainment industry, there is still one hard fact. a majority of Catholics, 54, 50, whatever hurts us far more than anything the Jews do. Jews numbers are very small. Catholics turn in the numbers that win elections.
If every jew sat home next election, we would hardly notice. And as for disproportionate effect because of the entertainment industry, I give you 6 or 9 Supreme Court justices. I give you high level Catholic leadership pandering and all but endorsing leftist democrat politicans. Deblasio arm in arm with Archbishop Dolan at the cop funeral, giving him cover.
I just keep meeting chinese and Mexicans living very respectable lives - working hard with good families etc. They have “Republican base “ written all over them except there’s ten times as much as party outreach to get their votes. Anyway, a good ad candidate should be able to do better. I will leave it at that since we may never see a test of this theory given the amazingly ineffective R leadership. It’s just an academic question now. Best,
So why doesn’t Boehner start making some sparks with speeches about this!
He has a opportunity to throw some light on this and show some leadership.
If he doesn’t, then he is working with Obama to set up the Israelis!
Has he said anything yet?
And I’m not even picking on Catholics here. I’m just saying how people always quickly zero in on the Jews for supporting the left, when they couldn’t dream of hurting us the way the Catholic faith does.
And its only getting worse with the Mexicans flooding in.
“With a good candidate the R’s should be able to do better in the Chinese and Mexican sectors .” Hopefully better by far than my krappo text editor. I hope you can intuit the rest of what I was trying to say. I’m gonna keep this note short to deprive this @&&$& text editor any more opportunities to screw up my posting. Best,
The Mossad may have been busy little bees gathering info/documentation and Obozo knows it.
I can dream, can't I :)
You have a point
When I point out to Catholics here what I just did to you....they bristle and howl and deny
But the facts are what they are
I’m southern baptist or Assemblies of God depending my mood
Culture conservatism comes natural and my family and peer group have been socially conservative since before the English Civil Wars
So my hats off to Jews and Catholics with courage to be different and fight the tide
God love em
