“ I was not one of those Obama "groupies" in 2008, who swooned at every word, which emanated from his speeches. I never believed the story that the Obama campaign floated, to wit that Obama didn't know the contents of the sermons, which Rev. Wright was preaching. How could someone belong to a church for 20 years, and not know what their pastor was preaching, even if they were not in attendance? Secondly, it took nearly two months for Obama to condemn Wright's statements. Hence, if we couldn't believe him regarding Wright, how could we trust him with more important issues? In addition, we were originally informed that Obama quit smoking. However, some contradictory statements were leaked, and we later found out that it was a lie; again, if he is not forthright about a personal health issue, how can he be trusted? It is incredible that 78% of American yehudim fell for the propaganda of his campaign, hook, line, and sinker. It was appalling to see him bow before the Saudi King, and the Emperor of Japan. Last, why is it that he is never seen with his Portugese Water Dog, Bo? President Bush would always be seen with Barney. It is almost as if Bo is an object, that he has no feelings for! ”

“ How ironic. What will the anti chareidim say now?!?! ”

“ This is a joke considerd that this same group are one of the biggest leechers of the social programs available in America.
Let's not be stupid, we need the dems in office. ”

“ "Anti-Charedi" will remind you that you're a small and an insignificant group in terms of voting power on a national scale. You may impact a city council seat or a mayoral election, but you don't have the political weight to influence a presidential election. Majority of Jews in the U.S. do not fall into "Charedi/Orthodox" bracket and that poses another reality in electoral outcomes.
The paradox with the Orthodox world is that it does not fully support the Israeli Zionist establishment, but at the same time it doesn't like to hear the slightest change in U.S. policy towards U.S.-Israel status quo. ”

“ We are only dealing the hand we are dealt. I dont have any programs because I'm not eligible but I know if I would be I would take it and you would too. The problem is that people think the Government has money and its free. The real truth is that the Government is actually taking our own money. Our bosses calculate how much they would like to pay us, which includes taxes he has to pay on behalf of the employee. For example, I may receive 40,000 dollars a year from my boss but in truth I'm costing him 45,000 or more. People may think they are getting free housing but in reality it just raises the prices for everyone.

I wish I could say there is a simple solution but there is none. One thing for sure can help is knowing the facts and when politicians start gloating about the achievements take it with a grain of salt. ”

“ I don't think that he is god or the messiah, but I'm frum and voted for Obama. As is to be expected, I'm happier with some of his policies than others (the healthcare bill really did not go far enough, but what can you do).

Can't be sure at this point whether or not I'll vote for him next time around - it all depends on who the alternatives are (but if it involves Palin or anyone as brainless, Obama has my vote for sure). ”

“ I would love if the gov't programs which house and feed these people were canceled. Would they still be crying "Socialist" if they had to stop taking gov't money and had to work and pay full rent and actually earn a living?

I think it would be great if the pollsters actually used clips from Jewish news sites like this one and showed what ridiculous ideas people have about the president. The poll would be more fun if it showed how people express why they don't like him. ”

“ Well we Chasisdic/Orthodox would vote Obama out because WE ARE THE TAXPAYERS who support all those public school students with illegal parents. WE ARE THE TAXPAYERS who are paying through our noses for all these ripoff social programs. Of cousre, you will not hear about this because this wouldn't be too sensational for the media to report. It is more sensational to report that we are the ones on welfare. ”

“ How come these polls never interview me? ”

“ I have to believe you're liberal & that is why ypu are happy with Obamacare & the rest of his domestic agenda.

I also have to believe that you're Jewish & that EY is dear to you. So please tell me by what measure can you be happy with his policies regarding Israel that would warrant you to vote for him? For that matter what part of his foreign policy are you happy with? ”

“ Your yammering on about the Chasidim being the "TAXPAYERS" that pay for public education is utter nonsense when you acknowledge the reality of the percentage of your community's economy that is conducted in cash "under the table".

It is simply not part of today's heimeshe mentality to contribute their fair share, even while feeding at the same time at the governemnt trough of Section 8, millions of dollars in state aid to yeshivos and on and on.

I certainly don't agree with the whole Rush/Hannity mentality, but even if you are inclined to do so, Chasidim don't fit this bill. ”

“ And your yammering your biased views is utterly discusting when we Chasidim are the majority of taxpayers in Monsey and a good part of Spring Valley . Who do you think owns their properties and houses in Williamsburg if not us Chassidim? And who do you think owns their houses in KJ? And a very large percentage of homeowners in BP as well are Chasidim too, if not the majority. You cannot have section aid, food stamps, and medicaid if you own a home.
And what about all these thousands of businesses large and small owned by Chassidim who are paying their taxes?
Another bum you are, foaming from the mouth shooting garbage and hate.
By the way, I can't remember the last time I ever listened to Rush and Sean Hannity, but if they are sticking up for the hardworking middle class whose money gets stolen by the gov. to pay for their pet projects (poor,poor immigrants)I'm all for it. ”

“ Nice try.

Unfortunately, I am a little too familiar with what goes on in the precincts of Williamaburg, etc., due to my many relatives that live there. Yes, some are homeowners; many others make "rental" arrangements specifically to be able to get on the governement programs.

I also have first-hand knowledge how many community institutions amass government money (Head-Start, etc.) and don't provide the intended services (except, of course, on the day the inspectors show up). But I'm sure you don;t know anything about that either. ”

“ I am Jewish (and frum, and learned in RW yeshivos, and live in a frum community) and I care very depply about Eretz Yisroel and the jews that live there. For this reason, I am eager to see real progress toward a situation where the lives of yidden will not be in the constant peril that they've been in for years. As far as I can see, there hasn't been any real progress toward ending the bloodshed of yidden in Eretz Yisroel since the peace treaty with Egypt (brokered by the much-maligned Carter administration, if I may remind you).
Neither I nor anybody else knows whether the efforts Obama is making will bear fruit in this regard, but I am happy to see him taking the situation seriously and not just letting it stagnate under both conservative and liberal adiminstrations (American and Israeli) as it has for years. ”

“ A few things to keep in mind here:

1. Obama's favorable rating is still higher overall than his negative rating. So while Limbaugh and Beck would like us to believe that the overwhelming majority of Americans are against Obama, the FACTS show something very different, even in Conservative polling.

2. Most of our community would scream bloody murder if a real Conservative came into power. No more welfare, section 8, "child care" handouts, food stamps, etc. It would all be gone. Then what would they do? They might actually have live HONEST lives and work for a living rather than leaching off their neighbors hard work!

3. It is most definitely time for a REAL Conservative revolution in this country (not the phony teabaggers). However, I'm sure I am one of only a handful would be happy with the result of such a change. ”
