Least Persuasive Pro-Obama Appeal Yet

Believe

Minus his anti-Semiticish foreign policy advisers and disastrous foreign policy choices, we're sure that the Senator is a perfectly nice guy. But his supporters are going to have to try a little harder than this:

You wouldn't know it from the flood of hysterical emails we have all seen, or from a fair amount of the commentary, but there is a groundswell of Jewish American support for Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign. That should hardly be surprising, for it is a reflection of the nature of our community. When he speaks - with eloquence, unmistakable authenticity, and passion - for the values we hold most dear, he renews our hope for America in these difficult times... he has epitomized the notion of tikkun olam ("repairing the world").

Oh, well say no more then. Because the political judgment of the average young Jewish American - that's something we have a ton of respect for.
