Obama surrogates courting Jewish vote

Polls show Barack Obama is ahead in Virginia, and the Obama campaign is working to ensure a victory by spending some time courting the Jewish vote with two well-known surrogates.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, and onetime Hillary Clinton supporter, Martin Indyk will be making his first public appearance on behalf of the Democratic nominee tonight at the Weinstein Jewish Community Center in Richmond for a program entitled "A Discussion about Senator Barack Obama, the Middle East and Israel."

Then, on Tuesday, October 28, a similar program is slated in Virginia Beach with former Middle East negotiator Dennis Ross at the Sandler Center for Performing Arts.

“Kapos for Obama” want Jewish voters to ignore Obama’s connections to some of the country’s vilest racists, anti-Semites, self-admitted domestic terrorists, and Israel-haters.

Can anyone say “Al Sharpton and Freddy’s Fashion Mart?”

Of course a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel. For TWENTY YEARS Obama supported Jeremiah Wright, who gave a life time achievement award to Jew Hater Louis Farrakhan ... Obama’s affiliations are riddled with Pro Palestinian - Anti Israel supporters. Obama will say, or do anything to get elected ... but, once elected, he’ll throw Israel under the bus in a heartbeat, just like he threw his friend of 20 years under the bus, for personal ambition and political expediency.
