Obama taps L.A. federation, former AIPAC official
The Forward had a story earlier month about the Obama campaign lining up Jewish lawmakers in its outreach efforts.
Well now Team Obama has a new guy at the DNC to lead its Jewish fund-raising efforts: Keath Blatt, currently a bigwig at the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles and a former AIPAC official. Here's a snippet from his mass "I'm going to work for Obama" e-mail:
I am excited to inform you that starting Tuesday, July 22nd I will be working at the Democratic National Committee in D.C. as the National Jewish Community Finance Director for the Obama campaign. The opportunity fell into my lap and I am thrilled that it did. Those of you who are Democrats are probably delighted to read this. My dear Republican friends are likely less so...With U.S.-Israel relations such a critical issue in the campaign, I look forward to working closely with many of you to ensure that support for Israel remains bipartisan.

Obama has repeatedly stated his desire to disarm and retreat from every military front, including Israel. He seems to think his mellifluous voice can charm the pants off anyone--he is in for a big surprise if he becomes President. Obama will be perceived by international terrorists an absolute weakling. He is the biggest political neophyte since Dan Quayle, and will be given no respect by the enemies of the West.
