@ BlandOatmeal:
Get real.
First, statistically, blacks were Obama’s chief supporters (95% vs. 78%).
Jews are only 1.7% of the U.S. population. If every single registered Jewish voter had voted for McCain, and everyone else voted as they did, it is not clear that McCain would have won. Highly unlikely, in fact, unless those 78% who voted for Obama were in key swing states and there were enough in such places to matter. But the only place where I can see this making a difference MIGHT have been in Florida. New York and California – the other two major bastions of the Jewish American population – were going to go to Obama anyway.
One can argue that Jews contributed $$$ to Obama far out of proportion to their numbers, and also engaged similarly in pro-Obama activism. But the same can be said for college students in the latter case, and Wall Street firms in the former. But even with all of that, HE WAS STILL BEHIND IN THE POLLS FOR A SOLID THREE WEEKS AFTER THE GOP CONVENTION! MCCAIN WAS THE FIRST TO BREAK THE 50% BARRIER, AND HE HELD IT DURING ALL THAT TIME, UNTIL THE CRASH!!
Yes, it is insane that even one Jew voted for Obama. It is insane to the umpteenth power that 78% did. But Jews DID NOT “get Obama elected”. That is nonsense. It was the crash the got Obama elected, the timing of which is HIGHLY suspicious, and which I contend had a lot more to do with Gulf Arabs than to any Jews.
As to whatever blame may be laid at Israel’s feet, remember that Olmert was begging Bush #43 for the refueling tankers and bunker busters to carry out the raid in the summer of ’08, and Bush said NO.
Today, Israel remains heavily dependent on the U.S. – as she has been for the past forty or so years – for logistical and diplomatic support in a major war. She is understandably loathe to make a major move in the face of a hostile U.S. president, as this one obviuosly is, in the form of the most complex and risky military operation of her history.
There are many ways Obama can “retaliate” for Israeli “defiance”. Why do you think that vote on the UNSC for Palestinian statehood has been held in limbo?
None of this is to say that Israel shouldn’t act if she does indeed have the capacity to do so. I’m expecting that she will in spite of Obama. Maybe you’re right and the window of opportunity has passed and all the postruing is bluff, but neither of us really know. Do you have access to the intel that Israel does on Iran? Do you know what military tricks Israel may yet have up her sleeve? No, you don’t. Neither do I. But I’m expecting Israel to act and sooner rather than later, and with decisive effect.
We’ll see who is right before too long. It is out of our hands, though.
Obama not just the anti-Israel President, (and look who he appointed just after saying “NEVER AGAIN” as his “Atrocities Prevention Board” chair, an anti-Semitic whore), he is also the ANTI-AMERICAN occupant of the White House too.
Barack Obama – kindly do all of us a big favor…DROP DEAD!!

This confirms a suspician held by many.
Here’s a quote from DEBKA (Wed 25 Apr 2012):
I would like the Jews on this page to think long and hard at this. In the VERY near future, it appears, the Iranians will posess a nuclear weapon and a satellite delivery system that can take it anywhere in the world, not to mention ICBMs and IRBMs that threaten Russia, Europe, the Middle East and India; and of course, the possiblity to deliver nuclear devices in shipping containers to any world port or as dirty bombs in terrorist mortars and rockets.
THIS WILL BE A GIFT (a la Pandorra) TO THE WORLD, BY THE JEWS of Israel, which complacently let Iran get this power, and by the JEWS of America who have been the chief supporters of Barack Obama.
Golly, Jews, how can I thank you enough! (sarcasm).
I want the Jewish readers here to pay attention to this. At the moment, the leftist media is ignoring this aspect of the Iranian menace; but does any Jew here, American, Israeli or otherwise seriously believe that they will be let off the hook in this matter? Does anyone here seriously think the IRANIANS will be blamed (with the risk of real retalliation), when it is so very, very convenient to blame the confused, self-hating, politically completely ineffective (because they fight powerfully against one another while ignoring their enemies) people called the Jews?
If I were an American Jew, or a French Jew, or a Ukrainian Jew, or a Jew anywhere, I would be getting my passport in order and putting my home on the market to move to Israel; because thanks to your own idiotic action, Jews, you are soon to become hated as you have never been hated before.
