Sarah Silverman in Tel Aviv: I would vote for Obama again
<snip>

"Jewish comedian and actress Sarah Silverman performed a stand-up comedy show in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening during which she stated that she would vote for U.S. President Barack Obama again, saying that she has a feeling that he has a plan.

During the 2008 U.S. presidential election, Silverman released a video calling on American Jews to persuade their grandparents in Florida to vote for Obama.

When some audience members booed a question about Obama's attitude towards Israel, Silverman said that she understood that some people in Israel don't support Obama and that such feelings were legitimate."

2. I know most people don't, but...
I fucking love Sarah Silverman. She's one of my imaginary BFFs, along with Martina Hingis and Giada DiLaurentiis.

7. I like Silverman but I think she's pandering a little by saying that Israelis' feelings were legit
when Obama is really just as supportive of Israel as Clinton was but the problem is that Israel has gone so far right that only total capitulation similar to bush's will satisfy them. We shouldn't have to give them 100% of what they want for them to support our President.

9. Exactly! The only thing he really has done is to let Israel
know they have responsiblities to try and broker peace. (That's my take) The MSM reports another twisted story.

10. IN these pressing days of budgetary crisis, WHY are we giving Israel money?
If they are so insistent on taking their own path, why give them 3 billion a year with no strings?
If the right wing is so enthralled with Israel , why not fund them privately like the Koch brothers do with Dick Armey's group?

13. I am totally with you
Why are we giving tax breaks to companies that are making record profits. The Democratic marketing strategy has failed time and time again to take advantage of these important factoids.

I believe the military industry is a huge reason why we are still giving them money.

You're going to be eating that quote, I believe.
