GOOD MORNING A VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE. WHAT I REALLY SEE IS IGNORANCE. SADLY, THE RELIGIOUS RIGHTS PROPAGANDA MACHINE CONTINUES TO LIE DAY AFTER DAY. ''THEY'' PREY ON THE ELDERLY OF ALL DENOMINATIONS. I THINK IT WISE TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION OF ALL OUR SENIORS, HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO SURVIVE THE LAST 8 YEARS, AND THE THOUGHT OF ANOTHER 4 MORE WITH THE SAME RETORIC WILL BE A TRAGEDY. THANK YOU FOR WORKING TO ENLIGHTEN THEM. THE ''REGLIOUS RIGHT'' ARE TRYING TO BRING BACK THE DAYS OF THE ''GREAT CRUSADES'' AND DESTROY ALL WHO DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM.

Looks like Bush should have supported the Palestinians for eight years. There seems to be a total lack of support for Republicans among Jews, except for Joe Lieberman, who understands Bush went to Iraq to protect Israel. Maybe the grandparents understand that also. Isn't this rallying for Obama really more about the fact that Democrats support trail lawyers. Let's be realistic, there is no other reason to support Obama.

Never turn down a chance to visit family, you'll be glad to visit. On the political point, who says Jewish votes are the key to Florida. They haven't delivered FL for the Dems in the past two elections. Isn't this just the political way of being polite? Making sure some voters aren't against you rather than convince them to be for you?

Great column, I almost laughed my "depends" off. I was wondering how I was going to talk my neighbors into voting for Obama. Funny thing though, my jewish boomer friends from the valley and orange county aren't voting for him either.... Be forewarned, palm beach county just had an election and they lost over 3000 votes during a re-count for a judges office. Attorneys, make your rservations now...anyone want to rent a 2 bedroom condo? I can't sell it. in fact, if your cute I might give it away.

The Carte Blanche the US extends to Israel allows them to shape our foreign policy with disastrous consequences for us. Let them sink or swim on their own.

Met a Jewish woman who emigrated from Georgia, Russia twenty years ago. She is convinced Obama is a Muslim as does her brother who lives in Israel .Both believe Obama will sell out israel to Iran because his father whom he idolized had four wives or more, Obama's formative years was in a Muslim country and he attended a muslim school and listed his faith as muslim until he flew into rev. wright's flock to get the black vote in chicago.

Obama has that sleaze Robert Wexler peddling lies in Florida in an attempt to get the Jewish population to vote for him. if they look at Obamas staff which was comprised of Samantha Powers and General McPEAk - two sworn enemies of Israel they would never vote for Obama. Then add in all of his Pro-Palestinian radical friends in Chicago and that will seal the deal against Obama. The peoples of Florida are not stupid- Obama tried to have our votes thrown out. We will not be voting for him and we will spread the word to the Jewish community that he is a real threat to the survival of Israel and America too !!!
