Why did Jews vote for Obama?

Earl: It makes no sense for the Jewish people to vote for someone who is pro-Palestinian. People, Jews, and other nationalities voted for Obama out of party loyalty. It reminds me of the so called Holy Catholic church, who never denounced Hitler and the Nazis who killed 6,000,000 Jews. They called themselves holy people, but allowed this genocide to happen, professing to be Godly people and doing the opposite. The bible is clear on abortion too, yet the Catholics vote for a man who is for partial birth abortion, and abortion, and Gay marriage. Unfortunately people don't vote with information or logic anymore. Dr. Pipes had countless articles on his website that gave Obama's heritage and background, and the question of his birth certificate, and citizenship to be President.

I cannot believe the Jewish people in America have put greater hardship on their people in Israel by voting for Obama. Obama also asked B.B. Netanyahu to lower the Israeli flag and raise the United Nations flag. Did you also see the bow by our President to the Saudi Prince? This was a jesture of submission and praise. If everyone would just open their eyes and see the truth!!!!
