[This related source is recommended in its entirety.]
“The Obama campaign has asked Penny Pritzker, Mr. Obama's 2008 national finance chairwoman, to talk with Jewish leaders about their concerns, Ms. Pritzker said. So far, she said, she's met with about a half dozen people. She said the campaign is in the process of assembling a larger team for similar outreach. "I do think there's an education job to be done, because there's lots of myths that abound and misunderstandings of the administration's record," she said. "The campaign is aggressively getting the information out there." […] Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D., Fla.), chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said the speech on Sunday should help set the record straight. "There's nothing like hearing it straight from the president of the United States—his expression that he is strongly pro-Israel." Some say the appointment of Ms. Wasserman-Schultz, who is Jewish, to run the DNC, is helpful in itself. […] Mr. Koch, a Democrat, said he had been considering voting Republican in 2012, but then he saw the House proposal for privatizing Medicare for people under age 55, which he opposes. He now expects to support Mr. Obama again. […] And last year, a poll by McLaughlin and Associates, a Republican polling firm, found that 46% of American Jews said they would consider voting for someone other than Mr. Obama.”

Quick, someone please pass me a double-dose of industrial-strength antiemetic.
Where to begin? How about "she's met with about a half dozen people". Let me see, now. That amounts to roughly 6 people. She is on the brink of double-digit encounters!
Moving right along, we have the following dollop of tripe, "misunderstandings of the administration's record". Needs more work on the clarity of the message, don't you know? You know the type of misunderstandings here referenced, of course: When the administration revealed it was merely lying for campaign contributions and votes, it had no idea that people would have taken those lies seriously.
Then it reaches risible levels of hilarity: "There's nothing like hearing it straight from the president of the United States"! This president? Why, Obama is the personification of the spoken empty-word. That and the stuff coming out of the other end of his alimentary canal are indistinguishable.
So, 46% of American Jews said they would consider voting for someone other than Mr. Obama? You mean to tell me that 54% would not even consider voting for someone else? Are there really that many useful idiots loose on the streets of the United States?
How monstrously masochistic do you have to be to eat that much shit and come back for a second helping? And why hasn't Ed Koch exploded from all the shit he's ingested?
As David Mamet wrote in "The Wicked Son":
The rhetoric of sad reason, that Israel is an "experiment that has failed" is but the coward end of a spectrum whose bold extension is "kill all the Jews and drive them into the sea". [...] Ben-Gurion said, in the late forties, that the world was divided into two halves, those places the Jews could not stay and those to which they could not go. What has changed? The world still hates the Jews.The blind and unthinking refusal to assess one's own duplicity and self-abasement is beyond belief. It is suicidal. Barely a generation beyond the grossest atrocity ever committed against any ethnic group of people, their direct descendants are willing, eager even, to engage in a world-wide debate about their own legitimacy within the community of nations and peoples!
Have the people of the Torah, whose multi-millennial history produced exemplars of brilliance in scholarship, ethics, theology, justice, medicine, technology, math, science, the arts, ... , lost their collective mind?
