"Former New York mayor Ed Koch backs President Obama"
NY Daily News ^ | March 13, 2012 | Alison Gendar

"Former Mayor Ed Koch is back on President Obama’s side and will be by his side during a fancy White House bash Wednesday with British Prime Minister David Cameron.

Koch said he scored an invite to the swanky soiree in honor of Cameron and his wife, Samantha.

Koch, a Democrat, raised eyebrows and ire last year when he backed Republican Bob Turner over Democrat David Weprin in the special election to replace disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner in a Queens-Brooklyn district.

Koch said the cross-party endorsement was to send a message to Obama to be a better friend to Israel — and to not to take Jewish support for granted.

“Apparently, President Obama got the message and I am back on the reelection bus . . . and he invited me to attend tomorrow night’s state dinner for Cameron,” he said.

In September, Koch formally reendorsed Obama, saying the President’s United Nations’ speech against the Palestinian push for statehood had repaired the breach.

A White House spokesman could not confirm the invite."

This entire election is rigged.

It's Romney running against Obama. Obama gets 4 more years. This right here proves it.

Koch is a pro-abortion lib. Why would anyone be surprised by this?

Exactly. I can’t understand why anyone would think this is news. It’s like saying that the sky is blue.

I am not too surprised. Disgusted with another secular Jew tossing Israel under the bus while paying lip service to it, but not surprised.

Koch formally re-endorsed Obama.

Guess he’s easily bought.

Koch must approve of Obama OK-ing the use of aborted babies’ brains in lab tests.

Koch not only hates fellow Jews, he hates babies in the womb.

About 75-85% depending on the election. Go figure!

No fool like an old fool. We’ll see how Ed feels about it when Tel Aviv is a smoking crater and 0bama issues a ‘stern statement’ to those Islamofascists in Tehran who are responsible.

Ed is senile or he has a persecution complex.

The White House has fallen on pathetic times when Ed Krotch and George Looney are on the A-List for State Dinners.

Does anybody really care what Ed Koch does?

Does he have a following?

Is that following not already committed to Obama?
