Yesterday, Rasmussen reported: “Forty-nine percent (49%) of U.S. voters believe pro-Palestinian activists on the Gaza-bound aid ships raided by Israeli forces are to blame for the deaths that resulted in the high-profile incident. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 19% of voters think the Israelis are to blame.” That’s pretty noteworthy and speaks well of average Americans’ common sense and loyalty to Israel, right?
Well, sort of. Premium subscribers to Rasmussen get a further peek behind the numbers. It turns out that 49 percent overall think the Palestinian activists are to blame, but 65 percent of Republicans and only 37 percent of Democrats do. While only 19 percent overall blame Israel, that number goes to 26 percent among Democrats. Only 11 percent of Republicans finger Israel as primarily responsible.
So why is it again that American Jewry remains “a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party“? This poll is more evidence — if any more were needed — that the majority of American Jews cling to the Democratic Party ever so more tightly than to the Jewish state. Thankfully, there are millions of other Americans to take up the slack, most especially evangelical Christians, who aren’t a bit confused about who is responsible for the flotilla incident and who remain devoted to Israel.
So Obama’s bragging that he needs 2,500 people spending $36 million a month to run a bad campaign. Wonder what their organization chart looks like. I guess we shouldn’t count on his cutting the size of the federal government.
Sadly, Obama is correct that his bloated and inefficient campaign is a good indicator of how he will run his government. Out of the mouths of babes.
Gawd, this guy is a chump. He’s comparing himself to the vice presidential nominee. I know he’s insecure, but this is pitiful. Also, BTW, has anyone noticed that Jennifer Rubin seems to have gotten under the Koskiddies’ skins? All of her threads are littered with lefty talking points. I guess they just can’t take smart, strong women.
This irrelevant comment by Obama just shows how weak their arguments are on the issues and against the opposition. I mean, with that kind of money, staff, and numbers in favor of the Dems this year, you are only up 5-6 points after the convention bounce? Not the results I am looking for.
This small town mayor stuff is really not going to help the community organizer. Very ham handed.
Obama needs a cast of thousands to wave palm fronds around his imperial throne.
Because we all know that managing a budget and 2500 employees is by far the most important qualification to be president. Who knew?
I’m afraid that the unemployment rate is going to spike after Election Day when thousands of Obama staffers are thrown out of work. I don’t think that Harvard and CNN have so many open positions.
I thought David Axlerod was running the Obama campaign.
And since Obama has become a time traveler, I guess Sarah Palin should talk about her accomplishments as a Governor being more impressive than Obama’s as a community organizer.
Strange Obama left out his administration of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge in his executive experience. Spending 100 million dollars with no measurable result is an achievement that few people are given the opportunity to match.
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the Obamanation’s mouth blows!
Viva Palin, Yes we can!
“Here’s another: Sarah Palin is Governor of Alaska, the U.S. state with the most extreme weather. Barack Obama is friends with Weatherman Bill Ayers.”
Well played. Got to give you points for a good line.
Spending 100 million dollars with no measurable result is an achievement that few people are given the opportunity to match.
The general manager of the Seattle Mariners begs to differ!
I tell you, the longer it is Palin vs Obama, the better for McCain.
Where are all of the Obama trolls? I guess even they can’t spin The O’s stupid comment; i.e., his executive experience is running a failing campaign. Laughable that the O’s campaign clearly put out talking points focusing on the small town mayor business. They think people are too stupid to not get she is a governor. Projection!!
It’s the same way the left called Reagan a B-movie actor, not a two term governor of California,with a population and GDP larger than Canada’s.All they have ever done is denigrate their betters.
I think the trolls are fixated on Jennifer Rubin right now. You’ll know them when you see them. They begin their little rants with, “I just came over hear from Real Clear Politics and…” Funny stuff. I guess they canceled class today at Wisconsin-Whitewater.
So now Obama is mouthing the same line as his Obamatons: Even though Palin is a successful executive, he’s supposedly more qualified for executive work than she is because of an inept campaign he doesn’t even run himself. As if running for executive office gives him more experience and expertise than holding an executive office.
The only thing more asinine than his claim is the media acceptance of it. These people are stupid enough to think this nonsense is going to fool the public.
When are conservative pundits going to admit that Obama isn’t particularly intelligent? He actually seems rather stupid.
“That’s one way to look at it. Here’s another: Sarah Palin is Governor of Alaska, the U.S. state with the most extreme weather. Barack Obama is friends with Weatherman Bill Ayers.

ROFLOL: that’s brilliant; can I use it?
I am surprised that Obama has not taken credit for weaking Gustav. Remember this is the man who can change ocean levels.
If I’m not mistaken, Obama just broke fifty in the polls.
I think the McCains folks would take that number right now.
gay,
Obama just broke wind. The fictional polls you cite are about as reliable as you are.
Imbecile.
