Obama tries to sell his suicidal Iran deal to establishment liberal Jewish leaders and donors

iran_nuclearThe Obama administration’s effort to sell the Iran nuclear deal to the Jewish community kicked up a notch with two meetings scheduled on the same day between the president and Jewish leaders.

President Barack Obama will attend two White House meetings Monday with Jewish leaders on Monday — one with organizational leaders, and a second unusual meeting with a group described by sources close to the White House as “influencers.”

Translated, “influencers” means major Jewish donors to the Democratic party, said the sources, who had been briefed by the White House on the meetings. Donors are a key constituency now that Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama’s heir apparent, has formally launched her now presidential bid and will be seeking to tap these same donors for funds.

The White House is especially sensitive to skepticism about the Iran deal within that donor constituency, the sources said. Among those attending the meeting are Haim Saban, the Israeli American entertainment mogul who has been a major donor to Democrats but who also has in the past criticized Obama’s Israel policies.

Obama and Susan Rice, his national security adviser, will meet midday with top officials of Jewish organizations, including civil defense groups like the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League, umbrella groups like the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the Jewish Federations of North America, groups like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and J Street, and the major religious streams.

Later that afternoon, Obama and Rice will have the meeting with the donors, described on the schedule as “Jewish community leaders,” as the White House describes them on its schedule. (The schedule lists the earlier meeting as with “leaders of Jewish organizations”.)

Secretary of State John Kerry and Wendy Sherman, the undersecretary of state who leads the U.S. delegation to the Iran talks, held a similar meeting last week with organizational leaders that lasted two hours.

The major powers and Iran earlier this month released the outline of a deal that would exchange sanctions relief for restrictions aimed at keeping Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel opposes the emerging deal, saying it will leave Iran a nuclear weapon [terrorist] state.

  • These are Facts:

    We are Watching President Obama:

    Negotiate an incredibly dangerous deal with Iran
    Refuse to share the precise details of this deal with Israel, America’s most faithful and trusted ally….not any more.
    Treat the Israel Prime Minister nearly as persona non grata.
    Send his political strategists and operatives to defeat the Prime Minister and his party in Israel’s recent elections.
    Threaten revenge because Netanyahu won re-election.
    Threaten to abandon Israel at the U.N. and allow anti-Israel resolutions to pass without an American veto
    And now declassifies details of Israel’s top secret nuclear program in what is being described as an unprecedented move.

    Will you put your God and what he asks of you, before what your political party demands? Who takes precedence and loyalty in your lives?

  • These rich jews are doing a disservice to the US and jews. The Democratic Party is destroying America thru massive legal and illegal immigration, forcing taxpayers to fund parasites via such programs as food stamps and ignoring the black criminal cancer. This is shameful. Jews have to thru off the democratic yoke ASAP.
