Joe the No-Show

Andrew Romano

From John McCain's rally this morning in Defiance, Ohio:

Where was Joe, you ask? Perhaps he was meeting with his new, Nashville-based manager, Jim Della Croce. Perhaps he was rehearsing tunes for his potential country album. Perhaps he was plotting a run for Congress ("Joe the Congressman '10!"). Perhaps he was auditioning for a Home Depot ad. Perhaps he was sharing his recent epiphany--as a guy who was "undecided" until last week--that President Obama would bring "death to Israel."

Or perhaps he was doing what he's always said he wants to do--that is, "get[ting] on with [his] life and do[ing] [his] job" as a plumber.

On second thought, never mind.

Jewish Americans throughout the country have joined together in support of Barack Obama for President. He shares our values and our belief in the virtually unlimited potential for Americans and America to do good in the world. Obama’s vision for America is our vision as well.

The American Jewish community has always been civically engaged in improving the country and repairing the world. We have waited many years to be able to vote for a President who truly represents us. Barack Obama’s positions on social justice, civil rights, the environment, immigration, and helping the downtrodden truly exemplify Jewish values. His nuanced position on abortion parallels the traditional Jewish view. Throughout his career, he has been a strong supporter of Israel and has repeatedly and publicly spoken out against anti-semitism. Obama will be a great President for us and for all Americans!

We, the creators of Jews For Obama, are volunteers, neither affiliated with nor paid by the Obama campaign. Each of us has spent many hours examining Obama’s background, experience, qualifications, record, and policy proposals. We deeply believe that Barack Obama is the right leader for America.

Comment: The GOP's biggest fear is not that Obama is a black radical muslim socialist, but that he will in fact be a great President. That would mean the next Republican President to feel the sunshine on his face in the Rose Garden would be a LONG LONG way off!

So, they bring up all the same old crap out of the basement, without even bothering to check out the truth. Here are the answers to all the Obama smears using various trusted non-partisan sources. Investigate for yourselves before believing anyones version of the facts.
