In Cleveland, Obama Speaks on Jewish Issues

Submitted by Mr. E, Feb 27, 2008 14:28

Obama and his supporters were literally born yesterday - We have a long and steady and accomplished relationship with Hillary!

Hillary Clinton has a very long and solid history with the Jewish Community - not only on matters pertaining to Israel but on a broad range of issues of concern and importance to all types of American Jews. SHe has a a long history of accomplishments, exposure and understanding. Obama is a very relative newcomer with lots of pandering talk and empty hype. We in the Jewish community are loyal to those who have done us well and have proven their sincereity beyond a doubt. Hillary Clinton deseerve our wholehearted support.

Jews in texas and ohio need to appreciate how important their votes really are in making sure the right person gets the nomination. the person who has dedicated herself and worked very very hard and has the record of accomplishments to back it up.

Hillary knows and understands and has always been there for us. Hillary deserves our gratitude.

From her decade long tireless crusade against Palestinian media indoctrination of and abuse of their own children for violence and jihad against israelis western hate through television and textbooks; to pushing for Magen David Adom membership to the International Red Cross; to her vast litany of accomplishments on a wide range of issues of importance and concern to the Jewish community, - be it holocaust reparations, the environent , education or health - Hillary Clinton deserves our votes and support - she has been loyal and true to us, as we should be for her, now more than ever.

Obama has about as much foreign policy understanding as geore W. Bush did in 200.

The Ohio primary is vital to ensuring that Barack Obama does not win the Democratic nomination. A fundamental difference between Obama and Clinton, besides Obama's lack of any substantive experience is his naive approach to foreign policy. When it comes to the real and dangerous threat posed by Mahmoud Ahmedinejad and Iran, Obama just does not get it and his approach is frightening. Hillary Clinton through her years of exposure and experience has absorbed much and above all, she understands - Hillary understands. Hillary gets it. Hillary has listened and learned. She will keep listening and doing for us and benefitting us positively if we make the right choice, the smart choice, the logical choice - and, not the empty one. We need to elect president who has accomplished.
