James, unfortunately you forgot some major self hating players

Reader comment on item: "Jewish" - Not the Same as "Pro-Israel"
in response to reader comment: Becoming very weary of Anglo Jews in the Democrat Party

As if your list was not bad enough, there are two major influences on BHO in the WH staff- one David Axelrod who has devoted his career to getting democrats (preferably of color) elected, but unfortunately he has no idea, nor does BHO, what to do once the candidate is elected. They basically stay in perpetual campaign mode without a clue about actually implementing policy.

The second disgrace is one Rahm Emmanuel, the son of a Zionist warrior who seems to be the most cutthroat and partisan politician bulldog ever in the WH. He is so good that one cannot really understand what his true views are, but if one looks at BHO Israel rhetoric, we must assume that his advice is not very good for Israel. He is a true disgrace because he has the bonafide connection. Also his brother Ezekiel is deeply involved in the Obama care plans.

How Jews can think so differently from rational, realistic minded people is beyonf my comprehension and is a great source of agony for me. See Norman Podherz's recent opinion piece

Why Are Jews Liberals?
