The Expat Vote

Obama is My Presidential candidate, he unites us all, I WILL DIE FOR OBAMA, can't promise the same for the Clintons. I love her but HILLARY CANNOT WIN IN NOVEMBER because she will rally the GOP.


Vote for Obama, Vote for Change, Vote for Unity, Vote for American Greatness, VOTE FOR THE FUTURE!!!


OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!

Is this a hint at what the next election night crisis may be? If Terry McCulla can't find a state to harrass, maybe the Dems will decide that they WILL allow the overseas ballots to be counted (or protest highly when their previous standards are used against them). In both 2004 and 2008, the Dems put such tight restrictions on overseas and military ballots that would have helped the Reps, that many of them weren't counted at all. (When these ballots were included, Bush won both elections by larger margins).

This thoughtful commentary from the Israeli media is important in light of the Clintons' racial coding against Obama ...

Obama and the Jewish question
By Haaretz Editorial

Not a year has passed since Danny Ayalon completed his term as Israel's ambassador in Washington, but he has already seen fit to criticize Barack Obama, who may well be the next U.S. president or vice president. In an article published in The Jerusalem Post, Ayalon wrote that during his two meetings with Obama, he got the impression that the Democratic candidate was "not entirely forthright" regarding Israel. ...

While Obama was taking advantage of Martin Luther King Day to speak out against anti-Semitism among blacks, Jewish spokesmen were using racist language against him, solely because his father was Muslim. Since it is hard to find so much as a single anti-Jewish statement in Obama's political record, or even support for anti-Israel policies, his defamers base their arguments on the fact that his positions on the Middle East conflict are "leftist" ....

Obama, Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate John McCain have very similar views on the Middle East, and their Senate votes confirm this. ...

The U.S. elections are important to Israel because of the two countries' special relationship and America's support for Israel, whose value cannot be overstated. There is a major contradiction between this fact and a smear campaign against a candidate with a Muslim name, which risks causing many Americans, and especially blacks, to feel alienated from Israel and Jews. Obama is sensitive to Israel's security needs, and he proved this through his Senate votes ...

Obama does not support the return of Palestinian refugees to Israel, but believes that the need to solve the refugee problem must be recognized. He supports Israel as the state of the Jews, and does not accept the view, which has struck roots in the global left, that Israel should be a state of all its citizens, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. He speaks out openly on these issues, as he does about the threat to Israel posed by Iran's nuclear program, and he did so even before becoming a presidential candidate.

Racist attacks against a black American candidate could cause Israel and American Jews a great deal of damage - not to mention shame and disgrace. Obama has been forced to defend himself over things such as nonexistent ties with elements hostile to Israel, an appearance at an event at which Edward Said spoke, and praying at one church rather than another.

Great damage has already been caused because Obama announced that an ugly campaign was being waged against him in the Jewish community. That alone ought to be enough at least to make Israel's leaders say something about Jews who preach against anti-Semitism while employing similar tactics against other minorities.
