Washington – Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, predicted Thursday President Barack Obama would win the Jewish vote and her home state of Florida in the 2012 election.

“The natural home for Jewish voters, both domestically in terms of policy and our Israel policy, is the Democratic Party and President Obama as our candidate,” Schultz said on Fox News.
Wasserman Schultz, a Jewish member of Congress, praised the president’s speech Wednesday before the United Nations General Assembly as another example of Obama’s support for America’s Democratic ally.
“Overwhelmingly Jewish voters support President Obama and his policies,” Schultz said. “And the Israeli leadership consistently, before yesterday and including yesterday, have said that President Obama has been an unshakable ally of Israel.”
“Whether you’re an independent, a Democrat or a moderate Republican, Floridians understand that President Obama has been fighting hard to create jobs, to get this economy turned around,” Wasserman Schultz said. “We need to work together and we need the Republicans to stop allowing themselves to be controlled by the extremists and the tea party. That’s why he’ll win Florida.”
To win the Jewish vote, Obama would have to move the “two-state solution” to have Palestine move near Jordan and allow Israel to expand its borders all the way to the Sea so no other Arabs ever move in there and try to claim it as their land and slowly encroach on tiny-Israel.
Ever look at a world map of the area?
There are thousands of miles of land farther away from Israel that they can declare statehood over.
Israel is the fool for letting it get out of hand so long!
Debbie,
You and Christine Quinn are in for a rude awakening!!!
How sad it is to read this. This is what has come of our people? Praising Obama?? We complain all day about how our fellow Americans voted this incompetent fool into office, when it was our own fellow Yidden the whole time!!
Unfortunately i’m afraid she’s right. We’re our own worst enemy and at the end of the day those leftists liberal jewish idiots WILL vote for him again.
We’re all excited that the jewish vote was heard when we elected Bob Turner against David Weprin but let’s keep in mind that this was a local race with a strong concetration of FRUM voters as opposed to it being a NATIONAL race with most of the Jews being NON FRUM LIBERAL jews and they WILL vote for OBAMA.
pure arrogance
Let’s hope she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
You keep thinking that way ‘Debbie’, but I think that next November you will find that not only is your guy NOT “the natural home for JEWISH voters”, he’s not he guy for ANYBODY!
and embarassment to the Jewish people: Debbie Jewicidal Schultz
I love Debbie. I was proud when I found out she was going to be the new DNC Chair! She’s great! I’m excited for Elizabeth Warren’s senate run in Massachusettes as well!
The Ladies of politics are doing really well!
G-d bless ’em!
(:-D
She must be drinking some of Obama’s Kool-Aid. My most passionate Obama 2008 friend, now tells me that Obama is a failure.
Like Sgt. Schultz..she knows nothing….she sees nothing.
Most of the posters herein are deluded and time will tell, but one think I am sure that history will understand that although the Republicans obstructed the President’s agenda from day one, he managed somehow to win a second term.
He has my vote and the votes of many of my friends. Sorry, but some of us think he’s infinitely better than any of the alternatives. Maybe in your communities he won’t have a chance, but none of your communities voted for him last time and he won anyway.
The contemptible haleria may be technically right: because of Jews-in-name-only, Obama will probably “win” Jewish vote in that he will probably collect upwards of 50% of it. But he will not do nearly as well as in 2008, and that could make the difference. I am optimistic.
Unfortunately most Jews will continue to vote for Obama. I believe the reason that most, if not all, Heimesh, frum, Jews are against him is that we have gone to Jewish schools all our lives where we are taught history of the Jews, ahavas Yisroel (concern for all Jews everywhere), and we are made very aware of our Jewishness – it is our strongest self-defining characteristic.
For many, many of the Jews who have not had a Jewish education, Judaism is just one trait among many, and no more significant than being blond, or tall, or even involved with animal rights.
For that reason I think that I will always vote for whichever candidate takes the strongest pro-Israel position, no matter how much I may disagree with their other policies. I can tell you now, no I definitely did NOT think Sarah Palin was Vice-President material, a heartbeat away from the Presidency, but I had to vote with that side.
For many Jews, Israel is just one among other issues important to them – global warming, the economy, etc. Of course I care about other issues too, but for me Israel is the only issue.
We should not believe Cong. Debbie Wasserman- Schultz’s misguided prediction. Whereas Obama might receive 35-40% of the Jewish vote, it will be nowhere near the 78% of the Jewish vote that he received in 2012. Incidentally, I agree with Cong. Allen West’s criticism of Cong. Wasserman-Schultz. Ever since that episode, her verbal tirade against West, has ceased.
Not my vote! I didn’t vote for him in the last election and have no intention of voting for him in the next one.
Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz could think what she wants! If the jews vote for Barack Hussein Obama mmmm mmmm mmmm it is because they are liberal jews. The definition of a liberal jew is someone whose liberalism is the religion and they ‘happen” to be jewish somewhere.
