Businesswoman and philanthropist Susan Crown (daughter of the famous financier, Lester Crown), a former Obama supporter and a member of one of Chicago’s most influential families, told an audience of over 300 women and men, “In the midst of the Obama administration, I became profoundly disappointed, disillusioned and actually a little angry.

"Top on Crown’s list is the way President Obama has been treating Israel."

Obviously, it isn't very nice to step on a lady's Jewish roots.....

Get mad at yourself, Susie, for being a dimwit.

I’m surprised a liberal who was deceived by barry to begin with has it’s eyes open at all!

She may know one Scripture “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

It is actually a brilliant article. She makes some great, great points. Yes, she’s late in her rejection of obama. But now is the time to speak up, and she is doing an excellent job.

I suspect this awakening is going on often behind closed doors. Stating it in public is more rare and welcomed.

Dear hubby convinced us that he could fix the (fill in the blank...car, faucet, whatever) and, because he told us how smart he was, we gave him a go at it. Now look what happened! He made it worse, the drippy faucet is spraying water all over the nice wood flooring and he doesn’t have a clue because he never actually fixed anything before. Intentions no longer count. We need an experienced person who is good with numbers, who has fixed things, likes to fix things. We are no longer looking for a companion to drink beer with, we are hiring someone to solve a problem.This is the state of our country now.

I take that back (after reading the whole article) she sees more and had a mind change While Crown is “very much pro choice”, she says “my priorities have been completely rejiggered. They have to be. We’ve got a $16 trillion debt.

So now what she sees (unknowingly) is evil who has come to kill/rob/destroy America! Hopefully, Susan can reach many and they tell 2 people and it continues!

Alot of liberals should reexamine their priorities. I get it that they don’t agree on all issues, but in the overall scheme of things, those seldom matter and pale in comparison to the really big issues like the economy, freedom, taxes, crime, quality education, strong military/foreign policy, immigration, etc.

This woman at least is seeing thru all the BS gimmicks, slogans, “wars” etc. that are conjured up by Demonrats.

Is it really a good thing that a liberal Obama voter is now supporting Romney? Does that mean that Romney is MORE liberal than Obama?

Yes it is and I read it after I responded. She may be late but she learned! Now how many more are able to eat crow and try to undo the damage they did by speaking out now. She gets four stars from me!

Liberals aren’t interested in Israel and the $16 trillion debt - Susan Crown is! You would know that if you read the article - it’s an easy read.

For those of you who never spend a lot of time in the big, Democratically controled, urban centers, you would be amazed at how long it has taken business people there to see the light.

They were tired of defending Bush and a Republican Congress that was not under conservative control. In an urban setting, they are not very conservative themselves — they fell for the Obama image hook-line-and-sinker. It takes time for busy urban people to look at politics with a cause and effect type look but they are finally doing so.

I hope to see a big impact as is demonstated here but we need to remember, to them, even those that sometimes vote Republican, we conservatives are still knuckle-draggers. We have to explain the concepts in plain and honest language because they have little concept of the world as we see it based upon the total immersion in machine politics that most of them have lived with.
