Despire demonstrating over and over that Obama was anti Israel during his first term Jews over whelmingly voted Obama back into office. Now that Obama has selected an anti Israel to be the next Sec of Defense Jews are shocked :lol: It tells me, like other Obama supporters who were burned but still voted for him again...they're not to bright.
Obama nominates Hagel for Pentagon, picking fight with Jewish groupsJews are surprised by Obama selection:lol: :lol: :lol:
Hagel’s possible nomination has been rumored for weeks, and has sparked criticism from Republicans over past statements the ex-senator has made on Israel and Iran. A handful have already said they will oppose his confirmation, including Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas).
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) — who doesn't get a vote on the Hagel nomination – issued a statement after he was nominated Monday calling him "the wrong man for the job at such a pivotal time."
He also criticized Hagel for having "incendiary" views on Israel.
Pro-Israel groups are vowing to continue a lobbying campaign that began when Hagel was first named as the favorite to succeed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at the Pentagon.
In an interview on CNN Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called the pick an “in-your-face nomination” to Israel from Obama.
