A SAD COMMENTARY

Prior to wishing everyone a chag sameach, I report the American Jewish Committee survey without comment.

ACTUALLY IT SHOULD BE A TOPIC FOR YOUR SUKKAH

65% OF JEWS FAVOR OBAMA
24% FAVOR ROMNEY
10% UNDECIDED

IN FLORIDA 69% FAVOR OBAMA

ONLY ORTHODOX JEWS FAVOR ROMNEY BY ABOUT 55 %

THE MAIN ISSUES FOR JEWS
  61%  THE ECONOMY
  16% HEALTH ISSUES
   4.7%  ABORTION
   4.5%  ISRAEL

READ AND WEEP!

GOOD YOM TOV

UNSKEWEDPOLLS.COM

There is an old adage

FIGURES DON'T LIE, BUT LIARS KNOW HOW TO FIGURE

WHEN I CAME HOME LAST NITE AND SAT DOWN TO EAT MY SON ELLI CALLED TO WISH US A GOOD YEAR, BUT STARTED BY SAYING  " DAD DON'T LOOK AT THE POLLS.
 The polls this year represent a real danger to the public if they are grossly inflated for the Obama camp.
Many people who see Obama ahead by 8-10 points will assume the race is over and vote for the winner. Republicans may be disheartened and stay home.
Of  course some people  who were doubtful about voting might go definitely to the polls because of anger.
Now the polls traditionally use the turnout in previous elections to calibrate the  polling results.
This year all the polls are using the huge black ,youth and Hispanic turnout in 2008.In fact no one believes that there will be such a huge turnout this year However by using 2008 turnout, the polls are skewed to Obama by 6-8 points.
Therefore there is a new web site  UNSKEWEDPOLLS.COM  which follows the Rasmussen approach Today they have Romney up 7% based on the national polls.
RASMUSSEN TODAY CALLS THE NATIONAL POLLS   EVEN.
DICK MORRIS HAS WRITTEN ABOUT THIS, AND PREDICTS A ROMNEY VICTORY
we shall see in a few weeks.

THE VIEW

In our apartment complex there is a small gym with 2 television sets.Often times when I go down a little before noon, there are 2 women who watch The View on each set.I cannot believe that adults would watch this day after day(sometimes it is a cooking show or a quiz show).
This is America.!
Thus I should not be shocked when in the midst of all the world turmoil,including Japan-China , Russia and the West, Syria, Iran Iraq  and a whole host of problems,our President goes to NY to add res the UN, and instead of meeting even one world leader,he proceeds to be seen on THE VIEW.
It is needless to comment further-THE MATTER SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
AMERICA YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU DESERVE

Romney and the campaign

It has become clear-the race is close.The national polls are even, however the pivotal key states Va, Fl , Wisconsin etc are in the Obama column right now,

However it is still winnable for Romney, if he

a) wins the debate-especially the first one
b)start becoming more specific in his program-ie.-how will he help small business ?
   what tax loopholes will he tackle ?
   which regulations will he immediately move to delete?
   define clearly his difference with Obama on China, N. Korea, Russia and Iran as well as   his          relationship to Israel

I believe the 30 second commercial are not enough time to explain his platform,and perhaps a series of 15 or 30 minute addresses to the country on the economy, other domestic issues(ie the pipeline-energy) and foreign policy would be a better approach

pelosi predictions

The first thing i saw when I opened the political sites tonite-was a prediction by FORMER Speaker Pelosi, that there was a 60 % chance the Dems would take the House  (despite a WH prediction o the contrary)
I went to Google and   put in "PELOSI PREDICTIONS FOR 2010"
The first page shows numerous predictions in May,June, July, Oct and early Nov.
GUESS WHAT-?

EACH ONE DOCUMENTS HER PREDICTION THAT THE DEMS WOULD KEEP THE HOUSE.

SO MUCH FOR HER PREDICTIVE SKILLS.!

BY THE WAY BOTH GALLUP AND RASMUSSEN HAVE OBAMA AND ROMNEY TIED TODAY

the video

When I was a kid, the teacher wanting to make fun of someone with a ridiculous excuse for not doing homework,would say"I don't believe that the dog ate the homework".
The President is still talking the nonsense that some film no one ever saw was responsible for not only the Benhhazi attacks, but anti-American rioting in 20 countries.The President and his team do NOT believe there is such a thing as Islamic or Jihadist terrorism.
To wit the Fort Hood killer was never identified as a Muslim terrorist despite the yelling of "Allah Akbahr" and the facts on the ground.
Four years ago I wrote that Obama would be another Carter.In fact Carter only lost Iran,our President is on the road to losing every Muslim country.He and his team totally misunderstood the Arab Spring-as did Tom Friedman the NYT and the liberal press
The lack of security on 9/11, the failure to heed warnings, the giving of over a billion to Egypt, the invitation to the Moslem Brotherhood to the WH and so on merely point to a breakdown of any reasonable ME policy

Just a word on the polls-They are all over the place- and its too early to give up-everytime you get a little upset a new poll--ie--todays Gallup- 47-47-brings the news--"-IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL THE FAT MAN SINGS"

Romney // MIGHTY ATOM

Although the polls appear to be turning against Romney, it is too early to throw in the towel-especially with the debates coming up=more uncertainty in the ME and any decision by Israel.

Looking back, he knew that he would be under pressure to release his tax returns for 10 years.
Why not release them a year ago,and get that off the table?
He knew Bain Capital    would be an issue, why not have a specific list of companies saved and jobs created vs had they not intervened?
He knew bank accounts in off-shore and foreign countries have a negative connotation,why not have a list released with explanations a year ago.
He knew Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran etc were foreign policy issues why did he not have a detailed program?Why for 1 year didn't he visit a dozen countries,including those 2 ?

Today's WSJ editorial places the 47% remarks in proper context-he should not back down and drive the point home!

Today is the Fast Day of Gedaliah Ben Achikam,a righteous Governor  who after the destruction of the first Temple was assassinated.
Usually I fast well ,but people usually feel a little less energetic.
I write this as an intro to the story of Mighty Atom.
When I was a kid my father of blessed memory, used to tell  stories about 2 characters.One was fictional-Muttele a Jewish superman.The other was Mighty Atom, who lived on our block on Park Place in Brooklyn.He could pull a plane ot train with his hair.His children were part of his vaudeville team.
When I had my own children and grandchildren I told them embellished stories about the two.At a certain age-they turned to me and said -"OK ,its all made up" despite my protestations.
A number of years ago, at a wedding, I met someone from Washington,and while schmoozing , found out he had been brought up on Park Place.
During the ceremony this gentlemen, sitting 2 rows in front me, turned to me.I was sitting with my youngest son Elli, a lawyer.The Gentleman blurted out-"IF YOU WERE ON PARK PLACE, YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN MIGHTY ATOM?"
MY SON ALMOST FELL ON THE FLOOR.
Now the NYT reports that 91 year old Mike Greenstein,is the son of Mighty Atom,He is called Mighty Atom Jr, and he holds the world record for lifting weights with his teeth-586 pounds.
A  great example to instill you with a desire not to slow down.Also be careful about discounting the old wives tales your elders teach to the grandkids.

A FATAL LOSS ? THE PRESS

We attended a funeral today in Lakewood N.J..It was quite well attended,as the  deceased lived in a 1300 family senior citizen community.
Right before our eyes, you could see the loss of an entire generation of JEWS,PRIMARILY BORN IN AMERICA,BUT DEVOID OF JEWISH CON TENT IN THEIR LIVES.
When they pass on, their children who had no contact with grandparents who conducted a seder, or said Kaddish will be slowly lost to our people.
In 20-40 years, the American Jewish Community will be in 3 parts
Intermarried-Reform and remnants of Conservative
modern Orthodox
Charedi-Aguda and chassidic

As i sat listening to a boiler plate Rabbi give a eulogy, I wondered what could have been if in 1850-1946 immigrants had not thrown their yiddishkeit overboard as they came to Ellis Island.Thin k of how different things would be today. 

The attacks by the Left wing press on Romney stating the obvious,regarding The Cairo Embassy apology,should teach Mitt a lesson.
Like Gingrich in the debates, he has to hit back at the press he has to hit back when they gang up on him.

GO EGYPT !

i think that we should reward the Egyptian govt with more than the billion dollars Obama promised.
They
gave a new home to Hamas
refused to stop an Iranian ship with weapons
attended the Iranian conference despite being asked by the US  not to go
attacked our Embassy-tore our flag down
appointed Moslem Brotherhood leaders to key positions
emasculated pro-western military leadership
Great friends---NO ?
I looked at the few minutes available on the Internet of the film  the Muslims are complaining about "Innocent Muslims"- not a great movie-but our Govt must protect freedom of speech.
We had our Nazis march in Skokie years ago, Black Power advocates,anti Catholic anti-Jewish publications.
We do not go into the street and riot and kill.We do not apologize to foreign govts about that freedom.
If these clown would have kept quiet-no one would know about the movie.
The WH  attack on 2016 and its huge crowds, mean s that it under their skin.

Another example of distorted liberalism-MSNBC morning moderator asks"who is more dangerous,Netanyahu or the Supreme Leader?

A DENIED VISIT/ new symbol


It is hard to believe that the WH (Obama) has turned down Bibi's request for a meeting at the end of this month.Je is too busy  ia the supposed reason.
Israel should take the lessons of the Convention and the real feelings of Obama over the past 3 years and act accordingly.
The world (except Canada) really doesn't care if there is a nuclear Iran or not.Their feelings about desrtroying Israel are mixed==What a tragedy that would be---next time we should learn our lessons--The Jews are too much trouble anyway  and so on


A friend    WHO MAY NOT WANT TO BE NAMED  sent me a copy of the new Democratic symbol-no longer the Donkey Now the Condom
It allows inflation, halts production,destroys the next generation gives a sense of security while you are being screwed.

MY SON ARI COMMENTED THAT MY USE OF CAPITALS MIGHT INDICATE I WAS ANGRY-NO-I JUST FIND IT EASIER TO READ

MORE BALONEY / 9/11

THIS MORNING A FRIEND OF MINE ATTENDED A CLOSED DOOR MEETING WITH SUSAN RICE OUR UN AMBASSADOR..
HIS IMPRESSION-SUPERFICIALLY A VERY NICE LADY-PLENTY OF PLATITUDES ABOUT US-ISRAEL RELATIONS.
ON THE TACHLIS AREAS= THE "RED LINES", THE OMIS0SION OF JERUSALEM AND HAMAS FROM THE PLATFORM-ETC --BALONEY !

WHILE I WISH ROMNEY WAS AHEAD IN THE POLLS, REMEMBER AT THIS TIME McCAIN WAS AHEAD AS WAS CARTER. MOST OF THE WEEKEND POLLS WERE TAKEN BEFORE THE JOBS NUMBERS.

FOUR YEARS AGO DURING THE CAMPAIGN I PREDICTED THAT IF ELECTED, OBAMA WOULD BE ANOTHER CARTER. I WAS RIGHT ON TARGET.

TOMORROW IS 9/11, AND AS I WRITE THIS I LOOK OUT MY WINDOW AND OBSERVE A COAST GUARD VESSEL SITTING QUIETLY OFF SHORE PROTECTING THE HUDSON RIVER.I  REMEMBER 9/11 CLEARLY.
I WAS SCHEDULED TO DELIVER A TALK A FEW BLOCKS FROM GROUND ZERO  IN HONOR OF MY FRIEND SHELLY FLIEGELM,AN RETIRING FROM THE OU. OUR WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
SADLY IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN  ARE TURNING TO GARBAGE-WASTED LIVES!

A HOPE FOR SANITY

IF YOU  WERE  A STOCKHOLDER IN A CORPORATION,AND THE PRESIDENT /CEO TOOK THE REINS IN A DIFFICULT ECONOMIC TIME,HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIRED TO REVERSE COURSE.
HE WOULD DESERVE SOME TIME,BUT WHEN AFTER 2-3 YEARS YOU SAW THAT THINGS WERE GETTING WORSE,AND HE REALLY HAD NO NEW IDEAS YOU WOULD BE PREPARING TO MAKE A CHANGE.
IF ON TOP OF THAT, THIS INDIVIDUAL COULD NOT GET ALONG WITH THOSE CORPORATIONS, BANKS, BOND HOLDERS THAT WERE NEEDED TO REALLY TURN THINGS AROUND-THAT CEO WOULD BE OUT OF A JOB.
ONLY IN AMERICA, CAN WE HAVE 16 TRILLION IN DEBT,RISING BY THE SECOND, 13 MILLION MORE PEOPLE ON FOOD STAMPS,GASOLINE TRIPLE WHAT IT WAS,AND OVER 8% UNEMPLOYMENT,AND  THE PRESIDENT SAYS GIVE ME MORE TIME.
IN FACT HAD THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE WORKPLACE BEEN EXACTLY AS WERE PRESENT WHEN OBAMA TOOK OFFICE, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WOULD BE 15%.
PEOPLE LEAVE THE WORK FORCE,BECAUSE THEY JUST GIVE UP!
YES CLINTON SPOKE FOR OBAMA,BUT HE TURNED TO THE CENTER TO WORK WITH THE GOP,NOT FURTHER TO THE LEFT.

IF AMERICA RE-ELECTS OBAMA, THEN THE COUNTRY WILL GET WHAT IT DESERVES.

HOW COULD HE WIN UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES?
LAST WEEK I BELIEVE I SAW HOW.
WE HAVE A MARRIOTT CREDIT CARD AND EACH YEAR THEY AWARD YOU 1 NITE IN  ONE OF THEIR HOTELS( NOT A 5 STAR).WE CHOSE TO DRIVE TO ATLANTIC CITY-EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT GAMBLERS.
IN THE REST STOP OUTSIDE OF AC, ON THE BOARDWALK AND WITHIN 5 DIFFERENT HOTELS WE SAW THE FACE OF AMERICA.
THE MAN WHO GOT UP FROM THE TABLE ,AND PROCLAIMED "I LOST MY SHIRT" MORE THAN LIKELY COULD NOT AFFORD TO LOSE ANYTHING-HOW MANY OF THE MULTITUDE WERE ON FOOD STAMPS?
THE MANNER OF DRESS,THE CONDUCT OF PEOPLE,MADE IT CLEAR TO ME, THAT THIS IS A REALLY BIG COUNTRY,AND THE LEVEL OF POLITICAL SOPHISTICATION
TO PUT IT MILDLY VARIES.
THE ADULATION AND DEIFICATION OF BARACK OBAMA AT THE CONVENTION
MAKES ME FEAR THAT THE WELFARE STATE, THE UNIONS AND THE ENTITLEMENT GENERATION HAVE EATEN AWAY AT THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.
HOPEFULLY AC IS NOT SYMBOLIC OF GREATER AMERICA,AND WHEN THE RESULTS COME , SANITY AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY WILL RETURN.

PURE DISGUST

LET ME START BY SAYING THAT ANY JEW OR FRIEND OF ISRAEL WHO VOTES FOR OBAMA IS RETARDED , BLIND OR ON TOO MANY ANTI-DEPRESSANTS-AND IS NOT AWAKE.

IT WASN'T THAT THE DEMS LEFT JERUSALEM,OR HAMAS OR THE "RIGHT OF RETURN" OUT OF THE PLATFORM THAT IS DISGUSTING=ALONE.
THOSE WHO READ MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY WILL NOTE MY WHITE HOUSE CONVERSATION WITH PRES. CLINTON ON JERUSALEM,AND WITH CONDOLEEZA RICE-PRE-ELECTION
IT IS THE LYING WITH A STRAIGHT FACE BY THE LIKES OF DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ, DICK DURBIN, CHUCK SCHUMER CONG LEVIN ET AL.
DO THEY THINK (THEY DO) THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS?
(LIKE MOVING THE VENUE BECAUSE OF THE RAIN THREAT)?
MORE THAN THAT WAS THE REACTION OF 50% OF THE DELEGATES WHO WISHED TO KEEP JERUSALEM OUT OF THE PLANK,

I CAN UNDERSTAND KEEPING G-D OUT, AFTER ALL ISN'T OBAMA OMNIPOTENT?

NOW THE HUFFINGTON POST-BLASTS THE DEMS FOR GIVING IN TO THE JEWS AND THE BELIEVERS.

IF I WERE SITTING IN THE NETANYAHU CABINET RIGHT NOW I WOULD SAY DON'T COUNT ON OBAMA OR THE DEMS-STRIKE NOW BEFORE THE ELECTIONS-AND TELL AMERICANS THAT YOU COULD NOT TRUST OBAMA.

BY THE WAY-WHEN CLINTON STUCK HIS FINGER OUT AND "SWORE" THAT NO PRESIDENT COULD HAVE CLEANED UP THE MESS IN 4 YEARS, WASN'T THAT THE FINGER THAT HE SWORE TO AMERICANS  "I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH MONICA"?

Eva Braun /.THROW ISRAEL UNDER THE TROLLEY //

IS THERE NO DECENCY LEFT IN THE DEM. PARTY-NOW TO CALL GOV. NIKKI HALEY "EVA BRAUN " HITLER'S MISTRESS BY THE STATE DEM. CHAIRMAN, And no Dem official, no media are screaming
this is a sad commentary on American politics.

TONITE BILL CLINTON, KNOWN PHILANDERER, DISGRACED BY HIS ACTIONS IN THE OVAL OFFICE AND GRAND JURY ROOM---YET AMERICA HAS FORGIVEN (SOMEWHAT )
YESTERDAY THE 3RD PLACE WINNER IN THE GOLF TOURNAMENT PLACED   TIGER WOODS             
IN THE 100 MILLION DOLLAR WINNER CATEGORY.HE STILL HAS HIS FANS AND ENDORSEMENTS,DESPITE ACTING IN A DISGRACEFUL MANNER, AND RUINING HIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.
ARMSTRONG, DESPITE BEING DEPRIVED OF DOPING AND UNETHICAL BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS WAS STRIPPED OF ALL HIS TITLES-YET, HIS FANS STILL CLING TO HIM.
SPITZER HAD TO RESIGN AS GOV, YET MSNBC GAVE HIM A TRIAL IN PRIME TIME.


YET WHEN CONG AKINS MAKES A BONE-HEADED STUPID STATEMENT AND APOLOGIZES -THE MEDIA AND THE POLS WILL NOT FORGIVE!
DOUBLE STANDARD?  HE IS CONSERVATIVE THEREFORE....?

IN 1982 I FIRST MET A YOUNG MAN RUNNING FOR CONGRESS AGAINST PAUL FINDLEY IN ILLINOIS.HIS OPPONENT WAS PAUL FINDLEY KNOWN AS "ARAFAT'S MAN IN CONGRESS"
WHEN HE WON HE CAME TO MY HOME ,TO THANK THE PEOPLE,AND SLEPT OVER-PLAYING WITH MY YOUNG SON ON THE CARPET.
DICK DURBIN UNTIL TODAY NEVER FORGOT HIS ALLEGIANCE TO THE US-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP.YESTERDAY ON FOX IN DEFENSIVELY DEFENDING THE OMISSION OF JERUSALEM FROM HE PLATFORM , HE WAS DISHONEST AND SENT A MAJOR MESSAGE TO JERUSALEM.
IIF OBAM,A WINS -YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.
SHAME ON HIM  SEN SCHUMER AND THE OTHER PRO-ISRAEL DEMS"

A SURGEONS ANSWER

will be away today-therefore 1 thought.
when the Dems try to answer circuitously about are we better off off now-they answer look how many jobs have been created-omitting that it does not even keep up with population growth-or a path to full recovery.
To me it is similar-to the  surgeon who comes out of the operating room, meets the patients family who ,ask how is the family member?
He answers, what a beautiful incision I made, You should see, how I sutured the vessel together--
FINE_BUT HOW IS THE PATIENT
OH HE DIED!

someone should wash their mouths with soap--obama narcissism

Think over the GOP convention.I don't recall anyone insulting Obama, Michelle, Biden etc.They attacked their policies.Now look at the Dem rhetoric-insulting -personal and divisive
Compare the NYT op-ed which call Romney every name in the book,and the WSJ that speaks to issues.
Today the Chairman of the Calif. Dem Party John Burton compare Ryan  to Nazi propagandist Goebbels.He had no regrets nor did any leader of the Calif party apologize.
The Dems are not happy  with their standing today FLAT EVEN : 4 years ago today Obama was up 5+ points.
Two spokesmen WOULD NOT GIVE A direct answer to the question of "are you better off today than 4 yrs AGO?" AND GOV. MALLOY (i believe ) SAID No  ! Next day changed his answer
THE DEMS ARE GETTING DESPERATE, AND THE TREND IS TOWARD ROMNEY

FOUR YEARS AGO OBAMA STOOD BY HUGE COLISEUM-LIKE COLUMNS FOR HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.
THIS YEAR IN AN OPEN STADIUM OF 60.000 SEATS-THEY WILL BUS IN BLACK CHURCHES AND STUDENTS TO FILL THE PLACE.
OH YES--ID REQUIRED !
THUNDERSTORMS PREDICTED

POST CONVENTION

WHEN I WAS A KID,LONG BEFORE TELEVISION OF CONVENTIONS,I FOLLOWED THE PROCEEDINGS AT NITE VIA A RADIO HID UNDER MY PILLOW.THERE  WERE EXCITING MOMENTS, DELEGATE CREDENTIAL, FIGHTS AS WELL AS THE MAIN VOTES.
TODAY, THAT PART OF THE EXCITEMENT IS GONE-IT IS All SCRIPTED .WHAT IS EXCITING IF YOU ARE A POLITICAL JOCKEY ARE THE MAJOR SPEECHES,AND THE
REPUBLICANS LIVED UP TO EXPECTATIONS.
TODAY I WATCHED   LA MAYOR VILLARGAROSA AND DAVID AXELROD.
ALL THEY COULD DO IS REGURGITATE THE SET LINES AND TALKING POINTS WITHOUT REALLY ANSWERING THE ECONOMIC QUESTIONS-KEY OF WHICH ARE YOU BETTER TODAY THAN 4 YEARS AGO?
ACCORDING TO THEM IT IS SO GOOD--THEN HOW COME IT IS SO BAD?
unemployment -8.3% , the deficit hitting 16 trillion
i now have more confidence in a Romney victory.

I LOOKED INTO AXELROD'S FACE--MOUTH DRY-FACE SHOWING DISPLEASURE WITH THE WALLACE QUESTIONS, AND NOT ANSWERING DIRECTLY.
