Agreed, Fern Sidman, though I might have said our fourmothers and threefathers. “For it was G-d who promised our foremothers and forefathers that it would be He who would redeem us and bring us to the land of Israel so that the Jewish people may walk in His ways.”

But it is delusional to think that the party in power is the sole determinant of how Jews will fare. I voted for Bush (though not for his father) only to see him make statements or decisions that were not in the interest of the US and that sold out Israel. If bad things happen to Israel (G-d forbid) Obama will be the means, not the cause. The cause will be how the Jewish people as a whole relate toward one another and toward their Protector, Who is not a human being and Who is not affiliated with any political party.

It is the same cry which has been sent over the centuries, by a people who have been stepped upon, mistreat, enslaved and destroyed over and over again, but who do still hold dear their traditions and to their God. “If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem as my chief joy”. May God give you the strength to resist the evil which is upon you. This is the prayer which I, a Christian, raise to Heaven on your behalf. God bless you. Amen Brother. Seldom have I been as touched by an article as I was by your words on this Passover.

So far: 1) Obama's first overseas call to a head of state was to the PA boss, M. Abbas. 2) He sent a delegation to Durban 2, the anti-Israel hate fest, and withdrew them only after negative feedback. 3) Talked about joining the anti-Israel ICC and UNHRC. How obviously anti-Israel can you get? Another question what would it take for most US jews to see Obama as something other than the Messiah? #27 Jason: Well said, this Jew from Virginia agrees.

Nor has he turned our country's foreign policies topsy-turvy to cater to the whims of that oily King as Bush and his father did.

It's amazing how many Jews purport to speak on behalf of other Jews (like me), yet get things so incredibly wrong. Perhaps the saddest part of your post is this: "Mr. MiamiMan, had your grandparents, great grandparents, uncles, aunts cousins, friends and neighbors been shuffled off to be gassed and burned by angry men who spoke of “taking their country back from liberals”, you might know what we mean." Give me a break. So by voting for Barack Obama, you were just doing your part to insulate against another Shoah? Do you really believe this? This comparison, which is offensive on its face, is absurd. I echo the comments in #25. Do not purport to speak for all Jews -- your opinions (fortunately) belong to you alone. And, I believe that in 2012, after four long years of Carter redux, many Jews will realize the folly of the vote in 2008, and not repeat the mistake. #18:

If it was Paul Newman leading us to degradation, socialism and weakness he would quickly cease being the most handsome man and all I would see was a reflection of the ugliness in his heart on his face.
