In an interview, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi said that she believes Republican Jews are "being exploited," but she was sure to add, "And they're smart people."
Pelosi made the comments in response to whether Jewish voters would support President Barack Obama in the presidential election later this year.
"I think [Obama] will" win the Jewish vote, Pelosi said, when pressed on the subject. "I think that he will, because the fact is when the facts get out. You know, as many of the Republicans are using Israel as an excuse, what they really want are tax cuts for the wealthy. So Israel, that can be one reason they put forth."
The interviewer then added, "That’s why some of the Republican Jewish supporters are really active."
Pelosi responded, "Well, that’s how they’re being exploited. And they’re smart people. They follow these issues. But they have to know the facts. And the fact is that President Obama has been the strongest person in terms of sanctions on Iran, which is important to Israel. He’s been the strongest person on whether it’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling, any of these weapons systems and initiatives that relate to Israel. He has been there over and over again."
The interview was conducted by Bloomberg's Al Hunt.
Note: William Kristol: "Pelosi: President Obama's Been to Israel 'Over and Over Again.'"

There’s that little flashback from the Republican Jewish Coalition.
Yah,and they go on to say "why,my accountant is Jewish".
Maybe not.I think the Jewish vote is pretty heavily concentrated in states that are deep,deep blue anyway.I don't think they'd be a big factor in the dozen or so swing states.
Doesn’t that therefore apply if you’re second in line for succession to the presidency?

Shut up Pelosi, you commie.
Pelosi really is loathsome. Her comment is offensive on at least two levels. First, it is plainly racist, without her knowing that it is. Second, it reveals that she has a deeply ingrained plantation mentality, that is, she considers herself the mistress of the plantation with the moral right and authority to tell all else who they are and what they should be thinking.
What a bitter, nasty crone she will be when she sits alone and unloved in her old age.
And she single handed certified Obozo eligible to run for the office of President of the U.S.
Complicit. Open for trial for her fraudulent actions.
This should be fun to watch. :’) Jews are getting murdered daily for decades by jihadists, and this dizzy bitch never met a jihadist, abortionist, flaming queen, Occutard, or other anti-American [characterization deleted] she didn’t like.
Jews are indeed a factor in FL, OH and PA. NY will not be.
Maybe I’m nuts but nothing this woman ever said makes any sense. I can read it twice. It just does not even sound right or flow.
Dems get a pass on bigoted remarks.
Only in Florida. Not sure where the idea Jewish votes could swing OH or PA but, you’re right, it’s often repeated.
Dear Nancy Pelosi, Does USA insist on maintaining its embassy in any sovereign nation on planet earth, other than Israel, in a city other than that nation’s capitol?
is is the same as Jews in World War Two Germany wearing yellow six-pointed stars--
Jews are a heavy presence in the inner suburbs of many northeastern US cities, while not enough to swing PA by themselves reduce the democratic margin in the suburbs of Philly and the state becomes a lot more winnable for Republicans. I still would not count on PA in anything but a landslide.
Basically if NJ and MA are close in November, Romney has won in a landslide.
Yes,I forgot to mention Florida.But Ohio? A factor? Maybe.A big factor? I suspect not...unless I'm wrong in my basic assumptions regarding Ohio's demographics.And it's hard for me to see PA as being a swing state so that's why I didn't include it.Perhaps pollsters would disagree with me there.
Excellent, the RJC should put that on the air again.
This commie is always lying. Don’t believe her.
What does Tax cuts for the Wealthy have to do with SUPPORTING our best ALLY in the Middle East, Nan?
If this lady have a brain, it'll be lonely!
