| Liberal jewish suckers give $$$$ for Obama Dems |
| 2011-06-24 |
| A rambling disjointed (which is why I didn't post any of it) article by Caroline Glick (who usually writes for the Jerusalem Post) but the point is that she has attended (or covered) two fund raising dinners where medium to big Jewish contributors fell for Obama's double talk (only one of these is covered in any detail). Caroline attributes this to the donors wanting to 'feel good about themselves' but I think it is also due to a type of self blindness. A lot of Jews would be heartbroken if they thought that Obama was anti Israel and thus they disregard all evidence that would indicate this. It is a common mistake. |

| #2 I sure hope they think they got their money's worth -- not that they'd admit to an anti-Obama Israeli reporter in front of their friends if they realized they'd been had. It will be interesting to see how many Jewish American voters decide not to pull the lever for a presidential candidate next time... or just stay home. For those who wonder, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch announced he is so angry at President Obama for misleading him that he'll be staying home. We'll see if he has as much influence as he did when he announced himself reassured by Obama in 2008. |
