    “Going to foreign affairs and Israel in particular, where I am very concerned that I think Israel is in great danger, where I thought the president was not giving enough attention,” Koch told WABC radio’s Aaron Klein. “He’s changed. And I believe I had something to do with the change.”

    He added, “I think Obama has done a terrific job in the last six months in support of Israel. And I want to praise him and I want to reelect him.”

    Maybe he did. Or maybe he just convinces him to look like he changed.

    Anyway, Koch looks pretty good.

    “He’s changed. And I believe I had something to do with the change.”

    Should probably read: “I changed. And I believe it had something to do with some (loose) change.”

    KOTCH OR BOTCH! Another dillusional secular jew who judges a book by its cover. As Pirkei Ovous says when a goy needs yiddisher help, he will not be the same person when yidden will need the goys help. the baal hatanya says a goy only does favours for yidden for their self aggrandizement.

    Senile Koch has clearly mistaken a drunk homeless guy with Obomber. Doesn’t he hear what this Racist, Socialist, Muslim Terrorist Sympathizing President is saying?

    Either Koch is not evaluating Obama’s actions correctly or he has been pressured by the Demo-Communist party to support Obama. Obama has not changed toward Israel and we know it. He is only waiting to destroy Israel if Chv”s he is re-elected. No good Jew should gamble with the lives of the Jewish People by being foolish enough to rely on Obama’s empty and false promises about his support for Israel! As one who is very learned in world history, I can assure you that Obama’s actions are consistent with many other dictators who have come before him on the stage of word history such as Lenin, the Jacobins of France etc.

    After hearing twice from his own mouth (Obama’s) off microphone (1) to Sarkozy that “he has to deal daily with PM Netanyahu “
    (2) Telling Russian PM, sending a message to Putin that after the the November election he will be “FLEXIBLE ” regarding the European missile defense.
    He lost my trust and nothing will change my mind. Not even a old hat like Koch, who needs some Kovod.
    WHOEVER WOULD TRUST OBAMA IN A SECOND TERM IS OFF HIS MIND.
    OBAMA EXPOSED HIMSELF AS THE FAKER HE IS.

    I think that Koch has two basic agendas: He is pro Gay Rights, and Pro Israel, with the first being the more important to him.

    Now that Obama has come out in support of gay marriage, and Romney clearly is against it, he is solidly for Obama.

    I also agree very much with Yossi (#7). Talk about the issues. Not your hatred of goyim.

    Well, Mr. Mayor, this is yet another”change” I do not believe in. It’s political pandering, & it’s so patently false I don’t think even the die-hard Dem pro-Israel voters believe the semi about-face. Meanwhile, I haven’t seen any concrete proof of a new direction.

    Hey Ed Krotch “Mr. How am I doing?” You are doing terrible. You need a fleet enema to remove all the impacted crap that you are full of!
    Barry Soetoro has never changed, he has just improved him method of being a liar
