Romney
Wins Second Debate - Obama Fails On Israel, Libya, Middle East

New
York, New York --- October 17, 2012 ... Barack Obama entered his
second Presidential debate with Governor Mitt Romney displaying
more confidence but still lacking answers on Israel, Libya and
the US economy.
Addressing
US voters from Hofstra University on Long Island, Romney accused
Obama of placing "daylight between us (United States) and
Israel."
Obama
told Jewish leaders in 2009 that he would preserve the policies
of the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations of "no
daylight" or keeping disagreements with Israel private. The
President said that the practice of not making public differences
with Israel did not advance the peace process.
Obama
has the worst record of any US President with the tiny, Jewish
democracy of Israel. He has treated Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu
with utter contempt commenting on a hot mike how he is forced
to work with him, wants Israel to withdraw to indefensible 1967
borders, will not name Jerusalem as Israel's capital and fails
to give red lines to Iran on its development of a nuclear weapon.
Barack
Obama did not address Israel at all during the debate. Perhaps
because he knew he had nothing positive to say.
Romney criticized
Obama's overall foreign policy record and asked Obama how it was
that four US diplomats were murdered, that requests for security
were rejected and why it took Obama more than a week to admit
that it was a well organized Islamic terror attack and not a protest
against a video.
"This
calls into question the presidents whole policy in the Middle
East," said Romney. "Look whats happening in Syria,
in Egypt, now in Libya. Consider the distance between ourselves
and Israel, the president said that he was going to put daylight
between us and Israel."
About a mile
from where the Presidential debate was taking place in Uniondale,
Long Island, about a hundred students from Hofstra were drinking
beer, eating meatballs and staring at a dozen, color plasma TV
screens at the Social Sports Kitchen bar. In a poll taken by the
Israel News Agency, one third of the students said that
they were going to vote for Romney, one third were for Obama and
another third were undecided. But no one was in doubt that Romney
had won the debate.
"I'm
leaning towards Mitt Romney," said George Murphy, a graduate
student at Hofstra. "He comes off more Presidential, he has
the business experience to make the country work and was very
articulate illustrating Obama's failures."
Joel Leyden,
Director of Jews4MittRomney.com and operates the Facebook
group with the same name, states that Obama has come up short
not just in regard to Israel and the Middle East but on almost
every domestic issue.
"Romney
illustrated a failed Obama economic record with over 20 million
Americans unemployed," said Leyden. "Romney spoke of
China and how the US must regain control of counterfeit product
trade and of Obama's investments in China. Romney spoke of Obama
being anti-oil, coal, and gas. How can any American not feel the
dramatic gas price increase at the pumps. How can any American
want four more years of this?"
Leyden
told the Israel News Agency that Jewish Democrats who have
voted for Democratic presidents in the past four Presidential
elections are now planning on voting for the economic and foreign
policies advocated by US Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
"Obama
ignores Jewish children carrying gas masks in Israel, children
who must live in air raid shelters as Islamic terrorists fire
rockets and missiles unprovoked from Gaza into Sderot, Ashdod
and Ashkelon. I know that for American voters domestic issues
take a priority and that Obama has failed to deliver on any of
his campaign promises on the US economy. But when we see US diplomats
being slaughtered in the Middle East and Iran being able to develop
nuclear weapons, one must wonder what Obama thinks about when
playing golf. It surely is not either US domestic financial security
or stability and peace in the Middle East."
