Iranian media reported after President Obama’s speech to AIPAC today that he renewed his commitment to Israel “despite atrocities” and said the things he did to secure the Jewish vote in November.
Iran Press TV focused not on Obama’s Iran comments, but on the first part of his speech where he said that his actions, not words, have confirmed his commitment to Israel.
“Referring to Israel’s atrocities during its 22-day war on Gaza, Obama said that the US defended Israel against the Goldstone report, which accused Tel Aviv of war crimes against Gazans,” Press TV reported.
The state-owned media corporation headlined with Obama’s quote, “When the chips are down, I have Israel’s back.”
“The speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Conference, a pro-Israeli lobby group, is pivotal for Obama to keep Jewish voters happy in his 2012 reelection bid,” Press TV stated.
The site also highlighted quotes by Noam Chomsky stating that the U.S. and Israel are seen by the world as greater threats than Iran.
Well, the Iranians are right about one thing. Obama is pandering for Jewish votes, and they’re fools if they believe him.
iranians: WE KNOW THAT, NOTHING NEW!
IRAN: WE KNOW THAT. BUT THANKS ANYWAY.

He’s pandering and they’ll probably fall for it. My Jewish friends (mostly in academia) are 100% behind Obama. So, he’ll probably get the Jewish vote, and with his new contraceptive policy (starting, coincidentally, in the fall) I guess he figures will ensure the women’s vote. Environmentalists got what they wanted when he said no to Keystone. Gays got DADT overturned. Black? Well, he doesn’t need to worry, he’ll get the black vote without having to “pay” them anything. Who’s next?
