Debbie Downer: Jews will vote for Obama
2011-09-23
The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee says President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party will own the Jewish vote in 2012. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) on Thursday pushed back hard against the claim that Democrats recently lost a House seat in a traditionally blue district in New York as a result of Obama's weak policy on Israel.
The job sucks but someone's gotta do it...
"That is absolutely not the case, and it will be demonstrated in the election next year that the natural home for Jewish voters, both domestically in terms of policy and in our Israel policy, is the Democratic Party and President Obama as our candidate," Schultz said on Fox News.

Jewish voters "overwhelmingly" support Obama, the congresswoman said, arguing that Jewish-Americans have no problems with the president's position on Israel.
Then again, they don't live in Israel...
Wasserman Schultz also praised Obama's speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, saying his remarks demonstrated the president's "unshakeable commitment to Israel."

"That was an incredibly important gauntlet for the president to throw down," she said.
Landed light as a feather, too...
The DNC chairwoman said she hoped Israelis and Palestinians will be able to achieve peace and live side-by-side through direct bilateral negotiations.
She also hopes for a Democratic majority...

#16  "the Democrats will lead the charge against them to destroy them."

Correct Sir. It is time to separate the wheat from the chaff and stand with your true friends.

#15  Unfortunately, g(r)omgoru is correct, although I expect it to be the Left and the Democrats leading the pogrom against the Jews in this country. Funny little fact is that evangelical Christians are well-armed and favorably predisposed towards Israel and the Jews, since Jesus's Second Coming is contingent on certain events in Jerusalem. And since the Book of Revelations makes clear that one of the first things the Anti-Christ will do is try to wipe out all the Jews and Israel both. Of course, if the Jews dare leave the Democratic plantation, the Democrats will lead the charge against them to destroy them.

#14  Little Ms. Debbie strikes me as the female counterpart to Anthony Weiner--abrasive and obnoxious and wrong.

#13  If your Jewish and thinking about voting for this a-hole again

If you're an American etc...

p.s. American Jews have more reason than most to vote against him. Not because of Israel, but because if he succeeds in destroying USA economy, Jews will be the first victims of the raging mob.

#12  If your Jewish and thinking about voting for this a-hole again, I would strongly urge you to crack open the Torah and READ IT.

#11  Don't forget the Jihadi's in Saudi arabia, Iran, Pakistan, etc... who will make thousands of $25, deliberately untraceable, donations via a website with it's security disabled - just like last time.

#10  You're assuming that war chest came from Americans, rj.

#9  I suspect Obama's record breaking donation war chest from 2008 is going to come up looking a bit less steller this go around.

Although who knows, businesses who got bailouts might just send some of that money back in his direction.

#7  Wasserman Schultz is Jewish and represents a district with a strong LGBT population. She's seeing the results in NY9 and shivering.

#6  Many of the liberals that are now criticizing the Zero would never vote for a Republican.

Probably won't either. They just won't vote, at least for Prez. Works either way.

#5  That was one weird interview. She telegraphing a lot of ticks, like what she was saying was really making her uncomfortable. I think even she is reconsidering her support for Teh Won.

#3  Debbie Dip$hit might be right. Many of the liberals that are now criticizing the Zero would never vote for a Republican. That is why the Dhims take them for granted.
