Mitt Romney, the Republican president candidate, visited Israel during Tisha B'Av -- the 9th day of Av on the Hebrew calendar. Tisha B'Av requires Jews to mourn in commemoration of the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people on that day -- including the destruction of both the Jewish temples (the first by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E.; the second by the Romans in 70 C.E.).
Former Governor Romney (R-MA) visited the Western Wall of the second Temple in Israel. The religious Jewish crowds showed enthusiasm for the candidate with cheers of "President Romney!" Romney placed a prayer in the Wall and recited Psalm 121, a song of ascents.
President Obama has not visited Israel during his first term, but promised to the Jewish people that he would visit in his second term, if re-elected. Obama won nearly 79% of the Jewish vote in 2008, but has lost popularity among the Jewish voters for his harsh criticism of Israel.
Mitt Romney and Barack Obama both actively court the Jewish vote, however, two of the three states with the largest Jewish population will undoubtedly vote for Obama (New York and California). Romney and Obama both have zeroed in on the Jewish vote in the swing state of Florida, which has about 640,000 Jewish voters.
Mitt Romney, in a move that would bolster Jewish support, asserted that the United States would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The Obama administration refuses to name Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. A reporter got White House Press Secretary Jay Carney tongue tied and upset when asked the question -- "which city does Obama consider the capital of Israel?"

Back in 2009, Obama held an 83 percent favorability rating among American Jews. At the same time, 66 percent of the general public approved of him. These numbers have decreased to 60 and 46, respectfully.

humiliating for USA president in order to get vote and be in the white house to go to beg and lick shoes in a country that ruined USA economy !
if Romney really mean what he said , then , it is an official declaration of of 3th world war , trust me on this , he will be responsible and will create more chaos than bush because he is ignoring 1 billion Muslims call for peaceful solution and only concentrating on few thousand extremists .
so many observers think that Romney with his ideology is going to be the cause of an early Armaggaden especially what is going on now in Syria , Lebanon , Jordan and elsewhere .
god help us all .
Its the Nazi Muslim terrorist who want to finish the mission of their satanic Hero HITLER and wipe out all Jews and Enslave Non Muslims under RACIST SEXIST NAZI SHARIA LAW

anyone who disagree with you you label him what you want ... very funny old style
your answer is out of topic , try to be practical, realistic and leave this rhetoric and speak fact and answer what is going on now on the ground .
it is useless to really think like this in old fashion , people have changed and you have not , still holding your old rusty doctrine taught used in 1971, and no shame , still using it in 2012 ?
the whole world has changed , but you are stagnant in your way of thinking .
revise your style and your way of analyzing. it is better for you , otherwise , you will look old fashioned person and out of date ..
Americans will aid Israel defend its self from the CHILD RAPIST muslim terrorist and neither you or the Jew HATING terrorist obama will be able to stop us
we Americans will never bow to nazi racist sexist sharia law
why do you speak on their behalf ?
did you consult them if they all care and agree with your opinion ?
and by the way , do not get me wrong no one hate Jews as religious people or race or religion ... they are like christian , Muslims , buddists, Hindu.. there are more than 1300 religion in this planet ?
in religion there is either true or false but hate is something generated by extremism.
what people disagree with is those occupier Zionists that claim to be Jewish, but are not .. otherwise, they should not kill or steal lands as the Torah commended them to do .,
are Zionists Jewish ?
you tell me
Qur'an 2:61 "Humiliation and wretchedness were stamped on the Jews and they were visited with Allah's wrath."
Qur'an 59:14 "The Jews are devoid of sense. There is a grievous punishment awaiting them. Satan tells them not to believe so they will end up in Hell."
Ishaq:254
Qur'an 2:96 "We will not remove a Jew from the punishment. They know the shameful thing that awaits them."
Qur'an 4:55 "Sufficient for the Jew is the Flaming Fire!"
Qur'an:9:88 "The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah's Cause."
Qur'an:9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."
Qur'an:9:112 "The Believers fight in Allah's Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed."
Qur'an:9:29 "Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission."
Behind schedule for Israel.
The only thing is NOT PRO-ANYTHING on are Ordinary Americans and the Poor.
And No, no one is jealous of his Wealth.
Palestine has no right to Israeli lands. That is a muslim tactic to take more and more of Israel's land, until they no longer hold the land they were given 6000 odd years ago.
Forcing Israel to cease to exist is an obama value.
