11/13/2008: "Some Chicago Jews say Obama is actually the 'first Jewish president'"
Quite a few of Barack Obama's "friends from the past" have popped up recently. It's doubtful whether he even knows their names, but in the Chicago Jewish community many people really are long-time friends of the president-elect. Some of the older people in the community say that they "raised him," while others half-jokingly call Obama "the first Jewish president."
They raised contributions for him, provided him with contacts, and also enjoyed hosting him and believed in his glorious future in politics. During most of the campaign, when rumors were spreading among American Jews that Obama was a closet Muslim who was more supportive of the Palestinians and was interested in granting the president of Iran legitimacy, his support among American Jews did not even come close to that enjoyed by Bill Clinton. But at the moment of truth, according to the exit polls, it turns out that 78 percent of Jews voted for Obama.
Members of the Chicago Jewish community are not surprised. They claim that the Jews simply discovered what they have known for years. Obama lives near the synagogue in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, an area with quite a large Jewish population. Some of area visitors may even mistake the heavy security presence on the street for the synagogue's location - that is, until they hear about Obama.
[ That does it! Obama can be expected to fulfill a Jewish agenda (not that Jews are entirely united of course). And note the remark about the heavy security presence. It is a sign of their paranoia and expectation of violent hatred towards them that leads to such excessive security around synagogues. Really a worship-place of any religion could be attacked just the same. If Jews feel so unsafe in America, it is all the more reason why they should leave and go to Israel. They must stop their Zionist Occupational Government and go and run their own affairs for their own people in their own country. ]
