BOCA RATON, Fla. — Senator Barack Obama sought to assure Jewish voters here on Thursday of his commitment to the security of Israel and implored them to disregard the false stories and rumors about his beliefs, background and foreign policy views toward the Middle East.
“We must not negotiate with a terrorist group that’s intent on Israel’s destruction,” said Mr. Obama, of Illinois. “We should only sit down with Hamas if they renounce terror, recognize Israel’s right to exist and abide by past agreements.”
For nearly two hours, Mr. Obama tried to work through a deep-seated skepticism of his candidacy by some Jews. He was welcomed by warm applause that seemed to grow throughout the afternoon session at a synagogue.
Mr. Obama had sharp words for his Republican critics, singling out President Bush and Senator John McCain of Arizona as “counting on fear” and what he called a distortion of his stance on Israel and his plan to meet with foreign leaders. He said he would not negotiate with Hamas or Hezbollah unless they renounced ties to terrorism.

Oy Vey!
Somebody posted a cartoon editorial of Obama walking on water. can you post it here. If he is the new Messaih then I will never come to Jesus.
His daily pronouncements are like a cat trying to cover up S$it on a hot tin roof. Sadly, the Democrats Jews will probably fall into that old trap where they seem so comfortable.
“I have to be very cautious about this,” Mr. Obama said, “because you remember the old stereotype, ‘I’m not prejudiced, some of my best friends are Jewish,’ right? ‘I’m not prejudiced, some of my best friends are black.’ ”
Later, he said: “We’ve got to be careful about guilt by association. The tradition of the Jewish people is to judge me by what I say and what I’ve done.”

Need your professional analysis 0f Obama here...
The Jews in Germany fell for it for many years till they finally figured out that their relatives weren’t coming home but by that time it was too late.
The Israeli’s are falling for it too. Sometimes you never learn. I know as a Jew its NEVER AGAIN! But the Koolaid type are just suckers.
“yes, I can say that many of my friends and relitives are Jewish. But so am I and very proud to be a Republican. “
Ok. From your collective bases of power in Chicago's Southside, what objective measure can you the self proclaimed "community organizer", Barack Hussein Obama, Jessie Jackson, Louis Rarrakhan and Rev. Write point to show improvents in the lives of Southside residents as compared to national inner city averages?
Is violent crime lower? Is teen pregnancy lower? Is illiteracy lower? Is illegal drug use lower? Is alcoholism lower? Are out of wedlock births lower? Are high school graduation rates higher? Is the poverty rate lower? Can you point to anything in the Southside that is better?
Bump
“I think originally Hitler told the Jewish people in Germany to trust him while the SS loaded them into the boxcars”
They used all sorts of tricks. When they were about to be gassed, for instance, they were just going to have showers.
“I have to be very cautious about this,” Mr. Obama said,
-—A certain introduction Obama is going to say something stupid.
““because you remember the old stereotype, ‘I’m not prejudiced, some of my best friends are Jewish,’ right?”
I understand that to be how a racist claims not to be a racist. That is, not an anti-semite because has friends that are jewish but really is an anti-semite anyway.
“‘I’m not prejudiced, some of my best friends are black.’”
A slip. Therefore, if we follow the parallel, Barack is an anti-Black bigot. Not actually impossible, troubles about his identity he has not grown out of.
“We must not negotiate with a terrorist group that’s intent on Israel’s destruction,”.....
This guy is ridiculous!....He says one thing out one side of his mouth and the opposite out the other side! What the hell is going on?
“Hope and change” = happy horse crap!
Hey, Barack: what do I look like, a schmuck?
guarantee
Jewish voters or some of them anyway I mean will fall for his clap trap speeches
He sits in a anti white, anti Jewish church for nearly 20 years and now he tries to get votes of Jews and whites he slightly changes his tune and the dummies out there believe it
well Obama said he would do this of course ignoring his 20 years.
Now he’s down here in Florida trying to woo Cuban voters
no doubt some Cuban voters will again fall for his B/S/ speeches.
I just hope that all the Jewish and Cuban voters wake up and see Obama for what he is
A anti white racist, anti Jewish bigot, who only wants to appease this countries enemies.
If ever this country has produced the dumbest voters then it is today for those are obama voters.
As for his wife, she wants to be an ambassador for this country and yet just this year says this country is mean, she has now for the first time become proud of this country for the first time in her adult life and while in college wrote that blacks should come together and fight the white oppressor. etc etc
anyone who even votes for this idiot has to be thick, ignorant or just plain racist towards whites and I have let be known to those people
Not going to happen. The closest a Democrat came to taking the Cuban vote was in 1996, when Clinton got 39%. Obama has ZERO support in the Cuban community, who will back McCain.
Barry O needs the Jewish voters in South Florida, black voters throughout the state, and Puerto Rican voters in Central Florida to win. If any of the legs of the three-legged stool give way, he is DONE in the Sunshine State.
“The sheeple here are following the same way with no questions asked”
Unbelievable.
“implored them to disregard the false stories and rumors about his beliefs, background and foreign policy views toward the Middle East.”
Ignore that man behind the curtain...and my wife...and my business associates...and Reverend Wright...and Hamas...
