How well might Barry "Almighty" be faring with those who make up the American Jewish community? Well, that is a question that continues to be asked and one that has been pretty extensively examined over the past few months. And as the election draws nearer, you can pretty much count on the fact that the Jewish vote will be one, among many, that contenders on both sides of the isle will be vying for. I continue to find it as being more than a little odd that for some bizarre reason, Barry won 78 percent of the Jewish vote in 2008, and many of those you get paid to speculate, are wondering what 2012, especially in light Barry’s idiotic call for a return to 1967 borders and developments in the Middle East, may hold. After every election I can never figure out what this death wish is that so many in the Jewish community seem to have. And they demonstrate that fact by their willingness to vote for Democrat candidates who possess such a very obvious disdain for the state of Israel and question its very existence.
Recently, Accuracy in Media’s Benjamin Johnson took the time to interview several of the attendees of the Republican Jewish Coalition Conference in Washington D.C. Now in what may yet prove unfortunate for Barry, is the fact that none of those asked had too many accolades to offer the president, but having said that, I doubt very many of these individuals, asked for the opinion, might have actually voted for Barry the first time around. Listed here are just some of the highlights from their assessment of Barry’s presidency: 1) “Barack Obama is an absolute train wreck.” 2) “I think President Obama threw Israel under the bus — long ago. Not just recently.” 3) “I think that he’s a con man.” 3) “He’s certainly no friend to Israel.” 4) “I don‘t see him doing anything that’s going to make the world a safer place.” 5) “For an American president to tell Israel what it’s borders should be, is really incomprehensible.” And 6) “Certainly, he’s up there with Jimmy Carter."
Among the comments provided to, and filmed by, AIM, were some very strong words from the Hon. Sam Fox, the U.S. ambassador to Belgium from 2007 until 2009. Mr. Fox proceeded to hammer away at Barry on a number of fronts, lamenting his leadership skills and claiming that his presidency could endanger the nation’s very existence. “He has never held a job in his life. He’s never been trained for a job. He doesn't have any idea what he’s doing and you can see that reflected in everything he does,” Fox said. But none of this should come as a surprise to anyone. Mr. Fox goes on, “Regulation after regulation after regulation — strangling business. I can go on forever. If we get Obama for five more years, we may not have a country.” But wasn't this exactly what Barry campaigned on, his desire was to "fundamentally transform" this country. And if he is reelected, God forbid, we are sure to see much more of the same.
This is not the first time the Jewish allegiance to Barry and the Democrats has been shown to be potentially shaky. Those who seem to have the biggest problem with Barry are these Republicans, but we really don't know how it is that the more liberal in the Jewish community may feel about him and his abilities. However, in July, a Gallup poll was released did showcase that there was a reduction, however slight, in support for Barry among those in the Jewish community as a whole. In June, supposedly 60 percent of Jewish Americans gave the president a favorable rating. This was down from 68 percent in May and 64 percent in April. Still, 60 percent of American Jews think this guy is doing just a bang up job. While this may not have been any sort of a bombshell finding, it is an indicator, of sorts, since in 2009 Obama held an 83 percent approval rating among Jews. Clearly, there has been a notable decline.
Still, in what continues to be nothing more than an act of pure fiction, as well as a demonstration of a logic that I just don't understand, the state controlled media has contended, or at least pondered, that Barry may be one of the most friendly U.S. presidents to Israel in recent memory. In September, New York Magazine even went so far as to wonder, a kin to calling "BJ" Clinton the first black president, whether Barry is “the first Jewish president.” Additionally, the Jewish Forward more recently selected Barry to appear among the paper’s annual list of the most influential Jews (he was one of the non-Jews that the media outlet selects each year). Despite these honors, Barry has apparently felt the need to attempt to solidify the Jewish vote, causing some to wonder if his campaign is sensing that there might be some level of vulnerability. We'll see, I guess, but it remains a mystery to me why it is that so many Jews support this guy.
Finally, earlier this month we were all witness to what can only be described as Barry’s imbecilic, and rather arrogant, self-congratulatory statements regarding his work to help make Israel more secure that were reported by several news outlets. Never shy about giving himself credit for things he either hasn't done, or have been done by others, “I try not to pat myself too much on the back, but this administration has done more for the security of the state of Israel than any previous administration,” he said. I'm thinkin that we’ll have to wait until November 2012 to see if American Jews do, indeed, agree with this assessment. Clearly, those at the Republican Jewish Coalition Conference did not, but just how big of a segment of the Jewish community are they. Until then, I suppose, Barry will likely continue to try and nab as much support from American Jews as he can, and doing so by saying whatever it is he thinks he can get away with.
