    Cosmetic and no substantive change, driven by Weprin’s loss. Koch is right!

    Hint to Obama: Pollard, Rubashkin.

    Yes. A different court Jew. That will make all the difference. Imagine if they would have hired him earlier. Weprin would have won an amazing victory in NY-9.

    By the way, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn…

    *smacking my forehead*

    I don’t get it. I really don’t! (lol)

    President Obama hires a new liaison to listen to the Jewish people & to hear their concerns better… and this after everything he’s already done for Israel at the UN & etc…

    And somehow… this displeases you?! He’s listening to Israel more than ever before… and this UPSETS you?!

    What’s it going to take to make the Yidden happy?! He’s kept the SAME policies as George W Bush when it comes to Israel, and every other President before him! And in some cases…. he’s done even more than previous Presidents!

    Why should he even be TRYING to appeal to the Jews when they’ve all turned their backs on him & complain about him no matter WHAT he does?!

    Sounds like some people have been paying too much attention to Rupert Murdoch owned newspapers & television to understand the FACTS about Obama’s relationship with Israel!

    Even when Russia, Europe, etc. have ALL publicly stated they believe the Palestinians deserve a statehood… President Obama at great personal political risk has stood by Israel’s side during this fight!

    What does he have to do to please everyone?! It’s not even POSSIBLE to please everyone!

    Wow!

    Well this guy definitely looks Jewish. Whats he actually done Jewish though? Couldn’t
    Obama just have hired Adam Sandler? He could open all meetings with a rendition of the Hanuka song.

    I know Jarrod well. He’s a stand up guy who knows and appreciates our community well. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic job in his new capacity as Jewish Liaison to the President and I wish him well!

    Reply to 2 woofer- so if Obama pardons Pollard and Rubashkin you would vote for him? Much as I would like to see it, it would take a lot more than that for me to vote to put this loser into office again!

    I will not vote for Obama! I do not care who he places in any position. In 2008, I wanted our President to succeed and rallied around him even though I did not vote for him, for a year and a half no matter what came along I still gave him the benefit of the doubt. Three years later…enough is enough! Unfortunately, like Bloomberg who started out as a Republican then became an Independent, he now seems to be leaning toward the liberal end of the Democratic spectrum, the GOP candidates do not seem to any better!
