Cardin will be key Jewish surrogate for Obama
Sen. Ben Cardin's (D-Md.) appearances before Jewish audiences in South Florida last week were the first of many he'll be making this fall on behalf of Barack Obama.
In an interview last week, Cardin said he went to the presumptive Democratic nominee a few weeks ago and "offered my help" in persuading Jewish voters – and Obama took him up on the offer. Cardin's told his staff that other than his business in the Senate, campaigning for Obama is his top priority. He expects to spend a lot of days in Florida and Pennsylvania, as well as some time in Northern Virginia.
Cardin said the Jewish voters he spoke to in Port St. Lucie and Ft. Lauderdale have "a tendency to be supportive" but have heard "a lot of misinformation."
"It's important to get the facts out," he said, noting that some voters still don't know enough about Obama's positions, while others in Florida were "still upset" about the loss of HIllary Clinton.

Mr. Cardin
There is no misinformation out there. First Biden voted against a bill that would stop Iran from producing uranium. Second Obama said he would ask something in return from Israel for the money American sent to Israel. Obama Stated that our goverment was broken and that we needed new faces in congress and choose Biden an anti Jewish candidate.
Also Mr. Cardin, Obama is pro Islam and his Church is Pro Africa and not pro american you have the facts wrong not the Jewish people.
Before you come to Florida, get your facts straight. This two man are bad for our allies and friends al over the world Specially are friends from Israel.
If the Jewish people vote for this ticket they will pay a heavy price, is a matter of fact that if Israel does not bomb the nuclear facilities of Iranand Obama Biden are elected they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
Sincerelly,

Shame on you pastor Betancourt....a man of God? Try a hate monger without the correct information and with a vicious and slanderous agenda. Remember “Thou shalt not kill” as you encourage the bombing of Iran and spread fear and racial hysteria. You, sir, are a spiritual terrorist with poor grammar, run on syntax and a message that no American would give an ounce of rerspect.
I would be curious as to your “church” as you demonstrate no fellowship nor brotherhood, let alone truth. You label and libel. I can think of no other country where you would, sad to say, get a platform to spew your vitriol. You, Sir, have issues and this outburst is only a conduit for that. To what do you owe
allegiance as you are morally and ethnically bankrupt. Do not blame your nonsense on the Jews nor Senator Cardin but on the latest white sheet sale.
