"This is a terrible thing," said Sid Dinerstein, chairman of the Palm Beach County Republican Party. "I wish Obama would not pretend to care about the Jewish community."
Sid you must have forgotten:
The biggest problem in America is that politics has become a “blame game”. The sole objective is scoring points, not solving problems. Rudeness has replaced civility in our political discourse. Too many people love their Party more than their Country. According to author Sid Dinerstein, we need to “Grow Up!” and develop an ADULTS ONLY approach to the problems in America

"I wish Obama would not pretend to care about the Jewish community."
Sid wishes. Coincidentally, Sid Wishes is the stage name he uses in his band The Lox Pistols.

RE: Sid Dinerstein - you are a disgrace to humanity. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
No "disgrace to humanity," just a relative of Lieberman. Are any in the Republican party, of whatever religious preference, ashamed of themselves? Not with the kind of "chuzpah" they've exhibited over the last several decades!

How did the U.S. get stuck with the job of sandbox monitor?
And what has that accomplished except for having sand thrown at us?

Great idea, but it will never happen. The republicans of today will cling to Israel like stink on sh!t, not because they want their success, because they want their vote and eventual armaggeddon.
Kinda the same way they cling to the cuban vote in Miami. Promises for something they never intend to do anything about in return for votes. Interestingly enough, this is what they keep accusing the Democrats of doing with the minority vote!

Dear Sid, Sen. Obama is not pretending to care about the Jewish community, he actually cares. So your wish has been granted (you putz). http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/IsraelFactSheet.pdf

Objectivist, read the link above..if you don't believe it, TOUGH TITTIES. Unless you mean the American-Jewish community? If that is the question, Senator Obama is committed to America and I believe that those in the Jewish commuinity resides somewhere in America.
Where is there proof that any American is committed to the Italian community? Your question is just assinine.

Do you read about the "issues" before you post comments?
