Obama's Jewish Problem?
Or not so much?

Pa. Jewish Leaders Praise Obama in Letter

Hillary Rodham Clinton might have the endorsement of two of the top Jewish names in Pennsylvania politics — Governor Ed Rendell and Rep. Allyson Schwartz of Philadelphia — but 70 other leading Jewish professionals from the Keystone State would rather see Barack Obama at the top of the Democratic ticket.

9. And for you
We care for your soul. So we're going to kill your menfolk, rape your women, and destroy your culture in the name of our invisible friend who is full of mercy and compassion.

Because we care :hug:


----------------------------------

Anyways if Obama has any kind of Jewish problem it's a Hillary problem. The "Obama hates Jews" emails were first circulated by her campaign if I remember correctly.

However judging by Connecticut and other polls I don't know that he has a "Jewish Problem".

And besides, in the GE we are pretty insignificant. If such a problem was significant on its own.

3. My Jewish friends voted for Hillary, but this is a small sampling.
I was wondering how the Jewish vote was going nationwide.
