Gary Bauer, an evangelical Christian leader known for his staunch support of Israel, says Obama has realized he has a major problem with Jewish voters, a large part of the Democratic Party's financial base. "If I were a voter who cared about Israel -- and I certainly care about Israel," he shares, "I would not put much weight on the things that candidates say now when they are struggling to get every vote they can get."
Instead, Bauer urges voters to examine candidates' records and who they have around them. "And the fact of the matter is that Senator Obama has a foreign policy team around him that has got one thing in common and virtually everybody advising him -- and that is a long record of being anti-Israel," he says.
Bauer, who serves on the executive board of Christians United for Israel, also says he finds it telling that former President Jimmy Carter, a chief critic of the Jewish state, has praised Obama's campaign. "If Jimmy Carter likes him, you can pretty well be assured that if you're a pro-Israel voter you've got a problem."
Bauer argues that on the Democratic side, Obama is the candidate who is the "most threatening" to the interests of Israel, America's closest and most reliable ally. - 3 years ago
