They better get Pant Suit Hillary back in the game, she's their only hope, Obama fed Israel to the wolves, ignored Gitmo, kept the Wars going, put people out of work, destroyed the economy, and Loveley Michelle planted Collard Greens on top of the White House Septic Tank, NOW THEY WILL PAY.

Koch strikes again!!!

The Left has Soros
The Right has Koch
America


David H. Koch in 1996. He and his brother Charles are lifelong libertarians and have quietly given more than a hundred million dollars to right-wing causes.

Charles Koch;David Koch;Koch Industries;Libertarians;Tea Party Movement;Rich People;EnvironmentOn May 17th, a black-tie audience at the Metropolitan Opera House applauded as a tall, jovial-looking billionaire took the stage. It was the seventieth annual spring gala of American Ballet Theatre, and David H. Koch was being celebrated for his generosity as a member of the board of trustees; he had recently donated $2.5 million toward the company’s upcoming season, and had given many millions before that. Koch received an award while flanked by two of the gala’s co-chairs, Blaine Trump, in a peach-colored gown, and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, in emerald green. Kennedy’s mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, had been a patron of the ballet and, coincidentally, the previous owner of a Fifth Avenue apartment that Koch had bought, in 1995, and then sold, eleven years later, for thirty-two million dollars, having found it too small.

The gala marked the social ascent of Koch, who, at the age of seventy, has become one of the city’s most prominent philanthropists. In 2008, he donated a hundred million dollars to modernize Lincoln Center’s New York State Theatre building, which now bears his name. He has given twenty million to the American Museum of Natural History, whose dinosaur wing is named for him. This spring, after noticing the decrepit state of the fountains outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Koch pledged at least ten million dollars for their renovation. He is a trustee of the museum, perhaps the most coveted social prize in the city, and serves on the board of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where, after he donated more than forty million dollars, an endowed chair and a research center were named for him.

One dignitary was conspicuously absent from the gala: the event’s third honorary co-chair, Michelle Obama. Her office said that a scheduling conflict had prevented her from attending. Yet had the First Lady shared the stage with Koch it might have created an awkward tableau. In Washington, Koch is best known as part of a family that has repeatedly funded stealth attacks on the federal government, and on the Obama Administration in particular.

NY-9: Oh yes, Obama has a Jewish problem
By Jennifer Rubin
<<<<In the end, it wasn’t even close. In a 58 percent Democratic congressional district, the most Jewish congressional district in the country and one that has not voted for a Republican representative since 1922, Republican political newcomer Bob Turner creamed Democrat David Weprin 54 percent to 46 percent in the special election in New York’s 9th Congressional District. Former New York mayor Ed Koch had called the election a referendum on President Obama’s Israel policy. Democratic assemblyman Dov Hikind crossed party lines to endorse Turner and make a point of his dissatisfaction with Obama.<<<<<



The best comparison may be Jimmy Carter in 1976 and 1980. He went from 64% to 39% in the subsequent election among Jewish voters. Obama carried 78% last time and he won't be anywhere close to it this election. And in swing states in the Northeast like NJ, PA and Florida, that could be very important.

The best part is the pathetic attempt the dems made trying to put a positive spin on the situation.

“It’s a very difficult district for Democrats,” said Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz

They held that spot for about 90 years!

You say this based on what, exactly?

The election in a district with a large Jewish population......


He is anti Israel and the Jewish community is figuring it out and isn't happy about it.

We just have to try to evaluate them the best we can."

Real World

I wouldn't make too much of a special election like this. The voting block in this district isn't exemplary of mainstream voters. The issues here were specific to both NY politics, and Jewish related issues, as much, if not more so, than anything else. Is it good for Obama and the Dems? Of course not, but it's not the crystal ball that some on the right may feel it is. Just my 2 cents.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897

You're aware that Jews aren't a homogenous political group, right?

And a big LOL to the claim that Obama is anti-Israel. What a crock.
