Florida – Rep. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.) plans to resign from Congress to “take a public policy job that deals with the Middle East,” according to the Palm Beach Sun-Sentinel.

Wexler is set to address his political future in a press conference Wednesday morning, the Palm Beach Post on Politics said Tuesday evening, and may be up for a position within the Obama administration.
The Florida liberal was elected to Congress in 1996, and serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
A call seeking clarification on to Wexler’s office Tuesday afternoon on the lawmaker’s plans was not returned.
At least one potential candidate, state Sen. Jeremy Ring (D), has signaled he would run in a special election for Wexler’s seat should the congressman resign.
one of the greatest jews in the legistlative branch of the us government
Wexler is linked to J Street, an “advocacy group” that supports a Palestinian State that includes “Arab neighborhoods” of Jerusalem, returning the Golan Heights to Syria, and opposes Israeli settlements in the “occupied territories. We can only guess what his “policy job” will be.
Just what we need..another liberal democratic Jew making middle east policy for the administration. We should be kvelling.
Whatever his associations, he was still VERY pro-Israel.
Not pro-Israel. Pro-Obama. He was an apologist throughout the campaign. I’m afraid he’s going to transition from a mere embarrassment to a danger.
From one of his constituents, Wexler was one of the most consistent left winger pro Obama congressmen. He was one of the first to jump on the bandwagon. Last year he was finally nailed for not even living in the district. Finally, he’s gone. Good bye.
He is not pro-Israel at all, look at his record, it’s very clear. Nonetheless he was very effective at getting Jewish support using the ‘anti-Semite’ card year after year. His entire repertoire is based on demagoguery and slander, there’s nothing positive at all. It sold well in a district that doesn’t even know how to punch a voting ballot.
We are in USA,
Stop being busy what’s good for isreal, we have to look what’s good for us in USA there are more jews in USA then in isreal.
Hashem Yerachem!
May Hashem wake him up and may he and the other self-hating Jews do teshuva and come back into the fold of Ohavei Kashem and Ohavei Yisroel
Another leftist Jew providing a hechsher for Obama screwing Israel.
Vote for Jose Ruiz to replace Congressman Wexler.
It’s too bad Robert Wexler left the political arena — he might be the only Dem with enough charisma to take on the Sarah Palin / Fox News cabal. But he has to not make image mistakes.
