Many Americans are not aware of the depth of Obama’s desire for a second term

Haaretz:

Obama campaign believes that many U.S. Jews are not aware of the depth of President Obama’s support for Israel…

An Obama campaign activist thinks that the campaign must publicize Obama’s record on Israel in order to make the Jewish community – where Obama’s approval rating is still around 60% – less uncomfortable about his candidacy, after the Washington-Jerusalem rifts over the past two years.

“I have found time and again when people come to me and ask – and I explain [Obama’s] record of support with regard to Israel, his record of military cooperation and assistance – and doing everything possible to prevent a nuclear Iran, people say: ‘Gee, I didn’t know that’,” said a “Haaretz” source involved in the campaign who also worked closely on Obama’s 2008 campaign. “I believe that the most important thing the campaign needs to do – especially in the Jewish community – is to get the record out, and the record is a superb one.”

“One expert on the Middle East said to me about a month ago that this a president who’s done more than the other presidents for Israel and got the least credit for it.
