PRUDEN: The Jewish dilemma for Barack Obama

PRUDEN: The Jewish dilemma for Barack Obama By Wesley Pruden-The Washington Times ANALYSIS/OPINION:

The Democrats have a Jewish problem, and his name is Barack Obama. Many Jews, loyal Democrats by birth and tradition, have concluded reluctantly that he’s not The One they thought he was.

With even greater reluctance, the White House has concluded that its Jewish problem is real and growing, and it had better do something about it.

Mitt Romney’s dramatic declaration Sunday in Jerusalem that preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon is America’s “highest national security priority,” that military force should not be excluded and that Jerusalem is the true capital of Israel, puts in stark relief the difference between what the two candidates think about America’s only real ally in the Middle East.

Mr. Romney is willing, even eager, to give heartfelt, emphatic, unadulterated, full-throated support for the Jewish state in its hour of greatest peril since the founding. Mr. Obama can’t do that because he doesn’t “feel the love.” He sprang from a culture of radicalism where Israel was regarded as illegitimate, if not evil. He gives the clear impression that he doesn’t like Jews very much.

Mr. Obama repeats only empty, bland assurances that everything is OK, that the friends of Israel shouldn’t worry because the messiah from Chicago is on the watch. U.S.-Israeli ties, he told a rally the other day in Palm Beach, are stronger than ever. That’s bunk, as Sen. John McCain bluntly told a television interviewer: “Everybody knows that relations with Israel have never been worse.” http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... /?page=all

[Abiding in His Word]

Interesting. It's not only Jews who have begun to think the president is not who they thought he was. Evidently Obama has difficulty relating to blacks as well. He has a half-brother who lives in Nairobi in abject poverty and reported in 2006 that he lived on approximately $1 a month. Yet Obama (to my knowledge) has never mentioned him. He can't evidently relate to the poor either.

Having grown up in Hawaaii and attending private schools and then Harvard, what does he have in common with either the poor or black America? Nothing.

The man is an enigma. He's out of touch, not only with Jewish supporters, black Americans, the middle class, small businesses, etc. but practically everyone seems to be beyond his ability to relate or comprehend.

I don't think Obama is the Anti-Christ or anything, I tend to lean toward Chuck Missler and Walid Shoebat's theories of the AC coming out of the Middle-East. What I do believe about Obama is that he is the product of America abandoning God. I don't think he's a Muslim. I think he's an Athiest, a Secular Humanist, who manipulates religion to get what he wants. And is thus easily manipulated by more nefarious characters like the Muslim Brotherhood. I pray for him, that God will send His Word to him, and raise up someone to give him a chance to turn from what he's trying to do to our country.

Just from your own description of Obama the bible calls him an AC regardless of what you may think.

Yes, the spirit is there, but he's not THE Anti-Christ, at least not in my opinion. Now if he were to up and move to Turkey or Iraq one day, then I'd start to suspect.

So he has had no interaction in either of these country's? Think again.

Somehow, I don't think Jesus would reply the way you have, with a facepalm emote, and the attitude that you have towards me. Sometimes the anonymity that we have on the internet makes us think we don't have to handle people with love. I'll pray for you brother.

Somehow you're getting emotion/attitude from a smiley icon on the internet. OK, I can use as much prayer as possible. Didn't mean to offend, and I'm sorry.
