I for the life of me fail to comprehend why American Jewish groups worry about this half nonexistent American foreign policy in the first place. It doesn't seem to matter who is President in so far as US attention towards Israel changes, worsens or improves. But what it does do is prod the American loons who see a Jew behind every bush every politician to scream that Jews secretly run the government. And why do any of the candidates care? We're what? 2.5% of the population?

As expected, Barack Obama spoke of his unwavering support for Israel when he appeared before delegates at the AIPAC convention today in Washington, D.C. "As president I will never compromise when it comes to Israel's security," he said. But will he?

Of course Obama will sell Israel down the river to please his Muslim and Leftist constituencies.

Yes, Obama's speech at AIPAC was fine. But as usual, beyond the lofty hyperbole, who knows what he really said?

And, no matter what he says, we already know that Obama has a track record of looking straight at the camera and lying outright to get votes.

Obama's big solution for Iran is planning "talks" about possible economic sanctions on Iran. That's his only concrete foreign policy plan ever expressed. Hmmm... economic sanctions on Iran? Now, that's a brand new and highly effective strategy...

The reality is not what Obama is willing to say at an AIPAC meeting during election time, but rather what he will say at the Muslim events he will speak at. You can be sure that when he meets with Islamic groups, they will be cheering for his plans, and you can be sure that many other Americans will not be cheering at the ideas that will appeal most to Muslims.

Of course, since Obama couldn't care less if Iran wipes Israel off the map, the time delay created by Obama's "talks," will assure Iran's completion of its nuclear weapons. But why should Obama care? He's not focused on fighting Islamic terrorism, or foreign affairs. He's focused on thing only, which is to get elected by hook or by crook, so he can raise taxes on America's most productive people and give the money to those who contribute least to society. That way, he can perpetuate an underclass that will vote for him.

Yeah and Farakan is definetly a regular speaker at your mosque. There are definetly less Jews in US then there are Muslims so please leave your conspiracies about omni-powerful Jewish lobbies to your buddies.

And 2.5% of the political contributions? Just asking. Politicians are after votes and contributions and political favors. They would not place that much attention on a group that offered them only 2.5% of any of those.

The Spanish vote and the Gay vote don't represent majorities either, but they have also proven very powerful as lobbies. Politicians know that ignoring powerful lobbies can spell disaster.

Well considering AARP, the NRA, the Public Employees Unions, the Chamber of Commerce, The pension fund industry, financials, banking, insurance, aviation, defense, the motion picture and music industry, automobiles, oil, electric utilities, agribusiness, chemicals, pharmaceuticals are all individually bigger contributors, I'd have to say that rumors of the Great Jewspiracy are overrated.

Why would he try to please the Muslims?

I really don't know. What's your opinion? And why do you think that Barack (whatever you do, don't say the word 'Hussein') Obama is the clear choice of the Muslim community?

I agree. The Jewish lobby is one of many powerful lobbys. But it does exist and has as much right to as any other.

Does the "Jewish lobby" represent Jews who either don't care about Israel or are opposed to Israel defending itself, you know, the Finkelsteins and the Chomskys? Is this all just a matter of semantics?

Hey Obama. We need paragraphs first.
