Top Jewish Americans ponder support for Obama
reuters ^ | May 21, 2011 | Eric Johnson

(Reuters) - Some prominent Jewish Americans are rethinking their support for President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election bid after he effectively called on Israel to give back territory it has occupied since 1967 to Palestinians. The backlash after Obama's keynote speech on the Middle East has Democratic Party operatives scrambling to mollify the Jewish community as the president prepares to seek a second term in the White House.

Jews do not change their mind. They feed on liberal crap.

I think when all is said and done, the majority of American Jews, who are liberals first and jews second will vote for 0bama.

Exactly what I was thinking. Their real religion is liberalism and they think conservatives are socially unacceptable. Hellloooo????

How about you? Will you enjoy living under Sharia Law? This is one of the most ignorant statements that I have seen on this forum.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the “latinos” are going to vote for Republicans if Barry Soetoro does not give them their amnesty. We’ve heard all this crap before. Reuters needs to lighten up and give it a rest. There is no way the freeloaders will ever vote for anyone other than their commie ‘RAT massas.

I don’t think it was out of fear of being called racist by the media..the media calls everyone racist, people don’t listen to that crap anymore. Jews have been voting Dem for years and years. Even when my parents immigrated here from Israel in 1969 they were automatically registered as Democrats, even though they have majority of the time voted Republican..Its just the way it is, you automatically think Jewish = Democrat

I know a LOT of Jews here in L.A. The truth? They will vote for the kenyan klown...just like blacks, being a Dummycrat is already part of their DNA.

Even if Adolf Hitler on the banner of the Dem Party is running for president today, these idiots will still vote Dem. Heck, even if he started the trains for the gas chamber, American jews will vote Dem.

That's understandable. In 1969 you had some good Democrats: Scoop Jackson for one, and some very honorable (albeit liberal) Democrats, like Hubert Humphrey. It all started to go downhill with George McGovern, I think...

Yea, I’d say your comment is right on the money; “ideology first, religion second.” These folks are some of the biggest progressives in the nation and it will take a whole lot more than seeing those of their own blood being turned over to the tender mercies of Muslim fanatics to shake their faith in the worldwide communist revolution. The vast majority will stick with Obama.

I don't have any choice about it, and neither do you.

You do realize America has its first Muslim Brotherhood President, right? And that he is ceding more and more of our sovereignty by the day?

As long as we are going to get it shoved down our throats, I prefer to find something positive about it.

And watching Liberal Jews reap what the have sown is high on my list.

Liberalism is a religion...

The reality is they don't want a separate state, they want the place currently known as Israel. They don't want to live in peace but to take over what the Jews worked so hard to build since Israel's conception.

I wonder if there is a break down somewhere of how urban Jews vote as compared to those who live in rural areas. To my understanding the vast majority of Jews seem to live in cities, maybe that has something to do with it. Are there any other groups that mostly live in cites that vote any different from Jews? I don’t know, just throwing it out there. Are rural living Jews more likely to be conservative/observant?

The same can be said for Israel. Only 19% of Jews in Israel are religious, what can you expect here.

My family (Except for a few of my liberal cousins) are not political at all..they vote for whoever they believe will be good for Israel. The last Democrat my Mom voted for was Bill Clinton because she thought he would be good for Israel..she never voted Democrat again after that..when I talk to people and tell them I am Jewish they automatically think I’m a Dem, when I tell them I am not they are shocked. The Democrat party died a long time ago, when you look at them now all you see are a bunch of Socialist/Communist/Anti Israel bastards
