Jewish
Donors Outraged by 'Sociopath' Obama
If senior journalist David Goldman
is right,
the correct word for describing the
way a
growing number of US Jews feel about
President Barack Obama is not
'anger' but
'rage' – white-hot rage, at that,
and a
conviction that they have been
swindled.
Goldman, Senior Editor of First
Things
magazine and 'Spengler' columnist
for Asia
Times Online, spoke last week at a
convention on intellectuals and
terror at
Ariel University in Samaria. In his
lecture,
he quoted a top Jewish campaign
donor who
used the word 'sociopath' to
describe Obama.
In an interview with Israel
National
News, he predicted a possibly
dramatic
'train wreck' for the Democrats in
the
November mid-term elections, with
Jewish
fundraising for Democrats drying up
and a
possibly high turnout of anti-Obama
evangelical Christians... When the
American
Jewish Committee conducted its
annual poll
of American Jewish opinion in
February,
just before Obama provoked the
diplomatic
crisis [over construction at Ramat
Shlomo],
55% of respondents approved of
Obama's
handling of relations with Israel,
slightly
less than the 57% that approved of
the
Netanyahu government. American Jews
were
under the mistaken impression that
Washington and Jerusalem were on the
same
track.
