what a bunch of liberal stupidity. We current have a leader who tripped all over himself to kiss leftist world ass and bow to foreign leaders. He has weakened the image of the U.S. all over the world. he has supported the muslim brotherhood and you all think Romney did what. he told London they needed more Security at the Olympics and he told Isrealis their culture is superior. You leftists all of a sudden have a problem with choosing a culture which is far more liberal than Hezbollah? You have a problem with womens rights? with democracy? with some tolerance for Christianity? What the hell is wrong with your lefitist brains you think Obama is doing a good job on the foreign policy front. you think a leader has to go all over an apologize?
he is not walking back anything, he is now doubling down... after apparently reading my previous comment on another thread here at ET, It looks like Romney fully adopted my position. smart guy. And as for the Israeli comment...you don't have to say jews are good with money to understand that a culture which does not allow interest is going to have trouble spreading opportunity around... --- Besides Jews are good with money. Screw the P.C. shit coming from the Isreali govt. I tell my kids they should like for fields which reward IP or fields with big upside which reward smart people. Surprise. jewish people far out represent their 2% of the population. Doctors, lawyers, dentists, entertainment companies, banking, wall street. I consider my observation to be one of respect. If you are going to work hard, you might as well work smart too. Jews are smart in picking fields with money. So are the gentiles from where I grew up.
You're right, while he did initially walk back those comments on Israeli prosperity, he has now walked back that walking back. As for the Jews, can't argue, they are clearly a strong people. Fortunately, they support Obama.
The support is still very strong.Poll is from a jem honest poll http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.co...-new-poll-shows-jewish-americans-favor-obama/ As Romney heads to Israel, new poll shows Jewish Americans favor Obama Posted by CNN's Dana Davidsen (CNN) â On the eve of Mitt Romney's overseas visit to Israel, a new poll released Friday indicates Jewish Americans favor the president over Mitt Romney by a solid margin. According to the Gallup survey, 68% of Jewish Americans back President Barack Obama, while 25% support the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. The numbers follow what some have called a politically timed signing of the U.S.-Israeli security act by the president declaring support for the country before Romney's visit to the Jewish state. Obama signed the bill passed by Congress pledging $70 million to increase U.S. security ties with Israel. Romney's visit to Israel is part of a three-country foreign policy swing that will take the former Massachusetts governor from London to Tel Aviv on Saturday, then to Poland next week. The Republican candidate is expected to promote a strong alliance between Israel and the United States while meeting with top Israeli officials.
Makes sense, really. Say all the nice things you want and that's great, but it's the money that really says, "I love you". Not that Romney wouldn't continue to, or even increase, financial support of our <del>base</del> ally in the ME.
