Obama Goes All In – Stress for Former New York Senator

President Obama is forcing the American Jewish community to pick sides. Go with their historic allegiance with the Democratic Party and their liberal values or support their Zionist sentiments and the newly re-elected Likud government.

Hillary Clinton

If the elite conversation is an accurate referent, Democrats will hold their majority, but Speaker Boehner and the Republicans may get a bigger share of Jewish supporters then they have had in recent years. New York politicians, including former Senator Hillary Clinton, are going to be hard-pressed to show their difference with Obama’s war-like stance toward Prime Minister Netanyahu. The passion of the administration’s response reinforces the observation that the White House is better at opposing former allies than old enemies.
