Obama vs Israel: A Winning Reelection Strategy Among Independent Voters

One of the reasons Barack Obama was elected the first time was his anti Iraq invasion credential. That one fact seperated him starkly from former President George W. Bush. and his opponent John McCain. He was like the" great white hope" in boxing lore . Albeit he was as black as they come, but he took on the war machine.  That attracted independent voters to Obama. Mitt Romney never really learned from that presidential election.. The winning election strategy was to run against the pentagon and run against one off their cat paws. The cat paw is Israel. The existence of the rogue state of Israel insures billions of military hardware sales to all concerned. Remember Newt Gingrich? He was doing great until he embraced the wishes of casino mogul Sheldon Adelson.  Adelson gave ten million to Gingrich's campaign to insure that Gingrich would make Israel's security a priority even if it meant another war for the war weary Americans . That was a turning point. Newt's eloquence and conservative policies were all for naught when the prospects of another president like George W Bush was offered.

So now we have Obama publicly snubbing Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. Despite Obama's large negatives of socialistic policies and economic stagnation, Obama is marginally ahead of Romney in swing states and in national polls.

 Independents don't like the military and they don't like Israel. They like Obama's trashing Israel.

I compare this 9 year old conversation with your recent expletive headlined comments on paying our cat’s paw’s living expenses. Both 44 and 46
are from the same party but you are only angry at the septuagenarian.
