Obama’s New Running Mate: ‘I’m a Zionist’

American Free Press
Monday, Sept 1, 2008

Sen. Joseph Biden (D–Del.), whom Barack Obama has chosen as his running mate, called Israel “the single greatest strength America has in the Middle East” in a 2007 interview and proclaimed that he is “a Zionist.”

According to The Daily Israel Report, in an interview with Shalom TV, when Biden was still running for the presidential nomination, he said that since the 9-11 terror attacks, “Americans can taste what it must feel like for every Israeli mother and father when they send their kid out to school with their lunch to put them on a bus, on a bicycle or to walk; and they pray to God their cell phone doesn’t ring.”

Biden also boasted of Jewish family connection:

“My son married a young woman whose mother . . . [is from] a very prominent Jewish family in the state of Delaware, the Bergers,” he said.

Biden said Jonathan Pollard, who is in a U.S. jail after being convicted of spying for Israel, deserves leniency. “There’s a rationale, in my view, why Pollard should be given leniency,” he said.

“When I was a young senator, I used to say, ‘If I were a Jew I’d be a Zionist.’ [But now] I am a Zionist. You don’t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist.”

Biden called attempts to link the conflict over the land of Israel and the Iraq war “bizarre.”

Many Jews think Biden is not “Zionist enough.” For instance, Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) Executive Director Matt Brooks cautioned against voting for the Obama and Biden ticket.

“With the selection of Sen. Joe Biden as Sen. Obama’s vice president, the Democrats’ ticket has now become an even greater gamble for the Jewish community,” he said. “Throughout his career, Sen. Biden has consistently been wrong on Iran and his voting record on Israel has been inconsistent.”

   Oh I feel so sorry for you Americans. What a choice you have as your next leader. Both major party candidates have questionable nationalities.
   McCain was born in Panama which even at that time was not United States soil and as far as I know has never been naturalized as a US citizen. Panama at the time was only leased by the USA and was not incorporated into the union. As a person takes the country of birth as their nationality, no matter what the nationality of the parents, that, as I understand it, makes him a Panamian not an American.
   Obama according to papers lodged with a court case recently (and unreported in the msn) is Indonesian. He went to school there before his mother remarried and moved to Hawaii.
   With my reading of the US constitution this makes both of them ineligible to stand for President. Neither is Native born.
   I believe that it would not make any difference who is elected anyway as they will do as they are told by those behind the Oval Office.
   What would happen if they held the election and nobody bothered to vote?
   As some comedian once said “Don’t vote for politicians as it only encourages them.”

   Why wasn’t Biden arrested on the spot? He basically admitted to criminality. Not only will he not be arrested, but he’ll probably be rewarded with being elected. I can’t stand it, I tell you. This so-called country has had it.
