A top Jewish donor announced today that he was dumping Obama.
Last week Barack Obama proposed handing over half of Jerusalem, the Wailing Wall, The Temple Mount, Old Jerusalem, and the tomb of Jesus Christ to the Hamas-Fatah terrorist alliance.
American Thinker reported:
Haim Saban, a billionaire Israeli-American donor to the Democrats has announced he won’t be donating to President Obama’s re-election effort. Michelle Caruso-Cabrera of CNBC reports:
The most prominent Israeli-American business leader in the United States, Haim Saban, says President Obama needs to do more to show his support of Israel in light of the President’s comments last week suggesting Israel needs to return to its pre-1967 borders to achieve peace with the Palestinians.
In an exclusive interview with CNBC, Saban, one of the biggest individual supporters to the Democratic Party and chairman of Saban Capital Group, said Obama needs to visit Israel as he has done with other countries in the Middle East.
Saban will continue to donate to other Democrats and Democrat causes. But for every entertainment industry billionaire alienated by Obama last week, there are many more Jewish and non-Jewish supporters of Israel alienated by Obama’s speech last Thursday.

May he be the first of a long, long list!

this is why the democrats in the senate are braking with the admin.
Red5 commented:
Yea but he’ll vote for other democrats. He just doesn’t get it.
WTFPRESIDENT commented:
People are starting to see the truth. The mask is off, so be very leary of what happens next.
Redlite commented:
I hope others are stating to see the light. Looks like Barry’s reelection is starting to slip away. Hooray!
sherlock commented:
It may be too late.

More from Saban:
“I believe that the president can clarify to the Israeli people what his positions are on Israel and calm them down. Because they are not calm right now.”

Those stupid Israeli’s, they can’t figure out that Barry is a friend of Israel.
Opaobie commented:
Not to worry, the few millions lost from the Jewish donors will be replaced by Billions funneled to Barry’s campaign from government unions (thanks to the slush funds the Dems have set up using taxpayer money), from terrorist organizations overseas, from Mexican drug cartels, and from other rogue regimes around the world.
StrangernFiction commented:
This schmuck just wants Barry to give him a little better alibi. In the end he’ll settle for nothing and continue to aid in the destruction of this nation and Israel.
dunce commented:
Somebody has financed him his whole life, that is part of the reason he is so casual about spending money. He has always had it and never earned it. Another part is his innumeracy. The biggest affirmative action failure in history.

What took so long to figure this out?
Badnewzbearz commented:
Good! I sure hope American Jews are waking up. Obama’s foreign policy is a DISASTER for Israel and the entire world. Just look at what he’s doing. Every decision he’s making in the Middle East favors Iran and is perilous to Israel.
Egypt: Pushing Mubarak out should be considered one of the biggest foreign policy disasters of all time. Democracy movement? Egypt is transitioning to an Islamic form of government, while engaging in genocide against Christians, and allying themselves with Iran – and Obama supports this! It won’t be long before 30 years of peace with Israel will be down the drain.
Libya: Obama states Qadaffi must go, and bombs. But the “rebels” we’re supporting are made up of al Qaeda and other garden-variety jihadists.
Yemen: Obama supports the protesters and now says their president must go. Their president, an ally in the war on terror, was fighting against al Qaeda in Yemen. Yemen will likely transition to a radical jihadist state.
Syria: Assad kills thousands of his own people, yet there’s no call for Assad to step down. Why not? Oh, I forget: Assad is sufficiently anti-Israel and is already allied with Iran.
Is Obama just naive and idealistic about these “democracy” movements? I think not. I think Obama knows exactly what’s going on in the Middle East and he supports it. I honestly think he has a vision of an Islamic Caliphate there with Iran at the head . . . and of course NO Israel to worry about.
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:

In other words, all Obie has to do is say the right things and Saban is back in his pocket.

So I’m guessing that B.O. isn’t a “Power Ranger” anymore.

Opus#6@AmericanPerspective commented:
Goodness me.
Obama is going to need $ help from his A-rab friends now more than ever. I sense an avalanche of anonymous gift cards and identical envelopes of small cash donations arriving shortly.
xqqme commented:
Haim will be visited by a coresponding agency soon. Perhaps the IRS has questions about his ‘activities’?
donh commented:
Should be very interesting to see if Mr Saban ends up sharing a cell with Dominique Kahn. You are a fool to think any amount of politically correct bolshevik socialist apparatchick loyalty will keep jews in high positions of power as the islamo fascist caliphate rises. Obama is just using you as Kapos. Look at this picture of Kahn . He stands behind the Saudi King when Obama bows…yet now he is disappeared ..why? because of sex ? ….or because he is a jew who said NO to another Obama bail out …. http://www.usnews.com/dbimages/master/10457/FE_DA_090409publicopinion.jpg
patman commented:
Who care about Jewish money when you have Muzzie cash… More Muzzies than Jews.
This guy will sell out his own kids for a donation and vote.
I hate Obama.
Opaobie commented:
Maybe Obama thinks Israel won’t exist by the time the election comes around in 2012, so he won’t need to dupe the American Jews any longer. I’m sure it made his stomach turn to have had to pretend to support Israel to get their donations in the past.
John Galt in KS commented:
It doesn’t make much difference, since if all the people who received huge payoff from this administration just give Obama back a 1% or 2% commission, he will have billions to spend anyway. Every company and organization that received stimulus money will be required to pay back to the enforcers from Chicago. If he wins again, you will see trillions more in payouts to friends.
speichera commented:
I just can’t figure out why any Jewish person would give anything to the Democrats. Obama is self-evidently anti-Semitic. Otherwise, why in the world would he have attended that neo-segregationist Jew-hating church for two decades. The man hates Jews. It’s just a fact and I think American Jews need to come to grips with that. Obama is typical of gentile Democrats: viciously anti-Semitic. It makes no sense to give money to people who hate them.
Buffalobob commented:
“Saban will continue to donate to other Democrats and Democrat causes” and in doing so he will in effect continue to support obama. They don’t get it, they never will.
JPeden commented:
Well, as per “Hannity” tonight, at least the snearing Juan Williams still hates those uppity Israeli Jews for beating up on the mighty Rambama right there on his own chosen turf!
Primitive!
Rightdawg commented:
Haim won’t get his Obamacare waiver now. This is posturing. Haim will cough up the dough to Obama in the end. It’s the Chicago way. Obama and his thugs will buy-off Haim, but the price will be steep. Something like limited regulatory interference in Haim’s future business dealings and company acquisitions, especially the acquisition of media companies that will conveniently be approved by the feds without a hitch.
czekmark commented:
Obama still has Soros so he doesn’t need any other Jews.
Big L commented:
It was only onetheair one time that I heard but in respose to a question or comment I am pretty sure I heard Obamas comment, to wit: ‘I hope the israelis take these border issues to heart or theywill find themselves increasingly isolated”.
I thoughtt hat was a threat and a trial balloon both
kate commented:
I hope this lasts. If Jewish people can’t see Obama for what he is now, I don’t know what it will take.
Opaobie commented:
#25 czekmark,
…actually there is one more “Jew” Obama will ultimately have to face, and THAT “Jew” will not say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant”.
S. Wolf commented:
Not like he needs the money.. wonder if any taxpayer money went for M.O.’s bling..
‘The president’s wife showed off a selection of jewels including what appeared to be a diamond necklace and bracelet. Her spokesman claimed not to know where the jewellery was from, or whether it was her own or borrowed. But Mrs Obama is known to own an impressive collection of diamond jewellery.‘

Message from a “well-respected Jewish authority” to all current and future Jewish donors who contribute to the DNC and to the Obama campaign:
1 Chronicles 12:17 (New International Version)
David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you.”
Bogdan from Australia commented:
Heim Saban – the living proof that the money spinning machine can also be a political imbecille.
It is abvious that in the eyes of Saban Obama hasn’t done enough damage to America and hasn’t endangered Israel enough yet to withraw his support for the socialists.
On the positive note: Sarah Palin has just achieved the 3 000 000 mebership on her Facebook.
Congrats Sarah!
sandy commented:
I think this is just the beginning and it seems that Congressional Democrats also see the writing on the wall. This is why they are joining with the Republicans to once again demonstrate their support of Israel. Do I forgive the Dems for what they have done to us — NO but it would be nice to see them back away from Obama and his agenda. Let him stand there all alone with that big chip on his shoulder while the rest of us find real change and a President who loves this country.

I think Jewish voters get it now. A Jewish woman caller to the Hannity Radio Show said that she was always of the belief that what happened in Germany and all across Europe couldn’t happen here. Since Obama took office she has had the nagging feeling that all is not well for Jewish People in this country. When Jews begin to feel like this they are not going to contribute or vote for a man they believe to be an anti-semite.
Bottom line — Obama jumped the shark and now he can’t jump back.
Robert commented:
obama said he wants to “invest” in the future of countries like tunisia and egypt.
rickl commented:
Saban will continue to donate to other Democrats and Democrat causes.
In other words, he’s a leftist moron with a death wish.
CrankyOldLady commented:
So why was this Haim Saban big shot walking around with his head up his butt w/r/t to BO for the last several years? I guess it’s because the Democrat Party was his religion and still is.
It was certainly not for lack of information. All the BO dirt was available on the internet in 2004 when I found it right after I heard BO con stupid Americans on TV at the DNC. A little research would have found that Obama was an adult when the Weather Underground bombed its last few targets, not eight years old; and that Ayers was not just “a guy in the neighborhood”.
Also his Black Liberation Marxist Muslim “Church” was described in much richer detail — like promoting a stroll down the aisle as a means to become somewhat Baptized even if you are muslim, and being tight with Farrakhan and other subversives.
Self-loathing Jews like Saban should alert the media again only when they have plans to take Yom Kippur seriously and actually repent their evil stupidity by cutting off money to all leftard and jihadbot enemies, domestic and foreign.
But wealth-enhanced leftards would rather circle the wagons around their next dictator than point out the terrorist truth about him. Money doesn’t always make the rich smart. It often makes them just bigger suckers.
Saban and idiots like him who “pledge” to give big bucks to other BO-like leftards are crashing America and promoting genocide for Israelis and all Jews, and eventually all Christians and other “non-believers”. Check out the global church burnings by ordinary citizen mooselimbs.
As for wasting money, it wouldn’t hurt for the US Congress to stop that also. How many millions/billions is the US shelling out to the corrupt, disgusting UN as well as to mooselimb countries where the culture is all “kill the infidel”, mass murder and jihad?
STOP wasting taxpayer money, you lying, thieving elected and bureaucratic bastards! And especially you, you illegal CZARS and finance crooks.
Because of the politically witless like Saban who support BO and the ignorami who vote for BO and his jihadbot-bolshevik comrades, the whole world is suffering. Mooselimb dismemberment cultists and bolsheviks need to be nuked, not paid off and coddled by “American” leftards.
uncivil & right commented:
This guy should consider pulling the plug on ALL D contributions to those who are hostile toward Israel.
Big L commented:
the left has no place to go. It is like a spousal abuse thing. The more Obama hassles them the more they pull him closer, unbelieving that he means what he says. He was on the radio news the other day, said, well I hope Israel ls listening to this message. Otherwise they will become increasingly isolated. To me, that is a trial baloon and prophesy. The USA will let Israel twist in the wind when they defend themselves and refuse the suicide pact being offered. I hope this doesn’t happen. All these lefties will support the Donks in 2012
DLC commented:
WOW DID YOU KNOW????
The speculator was the Hungarian-born George Soros, who spent the war in Hungary under false papers working for the Nazi government, identifying and expropriating the property of wealthy fellow Jews. Soros left Hungary after the war, and established American citizenship after some years in London. Today, Soros is based in New York, but that tells little, if anything, of who and what he is.
HA
DLC commented:
BE CAREFUL WHO YOU DONATE TO!!!!!
DLC commented:
What a mentor…steal from the jews…now he wants to kill the jews..but he had to steal from them first?????? We need to freeze all soros accounts Hold him in Prison and take that money towards our trillion dollar deficit!!!! Amen Amen!!! Lets start a petition to Investigate
Doug commented:
“if all the people who received huge payoff from this administration just give Obama back a 1% or 2% commission”
Obama’s Chicago “machine” calls it vigorish.
#1AMERICAN commented:
Saban will continue to donate to other Democrats and Democrat causes. But for every entertainment industry billionaire alienated by Obama last week….
what a stupid a-hole…like the other democraps care about israel
Tryptic commented:
I think this is a bigger deal than some of the commenters are giving it credit. Obviously, Mr. Saban is a far-left, 100% Democrat kind of guy. But if he’s not giving to Obama, that means there will be a lot more moderate Jews who won’t be giving to Obama either, or voting for Obama. In fact, we may see the GOP make major in-roads with Jewish voters in 2012 – which could forshadow a fairly substantial re-alignment.
Sasja commented:
A liberal, Jew or not, will put their ideology ahead of everything else. Zero will make nice, Saban will donate, and they will all vote for Zero in 2012.
jef commented:
Nothing makes a slimebag politician like Obama squirm more then his money being taken away. Watch Obama and his minions spring into action and do everything they can to stop the bleeding.
ponderon commented:
He doesn’t need jews’s money, when he has his muslim brothers in the Middle East.
greenfairie commented:
Saban was a big Clinton fanboy in the ’90s and if he’s out, others will follow. I told you; Obama will lose the deep-pocket Jewish donors over this.
aprilnovember811 commented:
Hooray. Obama has exposed himself for what he is.
