Ed Koch Endorses Obama Re-election Bid

[theDoctorisIn]

Koch endorsed Turner to "send a message" to Obama - the message was "toe the Israel line". So Obama did, and got Koch's support back.

Gene Simmons says Rick Perry will be the next President. Should carry about as much weight as Koch.

 

[Nunz]

I wonder how much Gene got for that endorsement, there's always an underlying financial factor with him.

I live in NY, and it's well know that Ed Koch is gay, so maybe that's part of the reason, he oddly is willing to overlook BHO being a enemy to Israel.

At the end of the day, grandpa Munster is a no-name, and will have absolutely no sway in this election.

Well that's one vote for Obama from the Empire State, then.

After using his not insubstantial political capital to help send NY-9 over to the republican side of the aisle for the first time in 90 years to "send a message to obama on israel". ed koch, iconic former mayor of ny has decided that after the president's speech at the UN the other day, that all is forgiven and he is supporting his re-election bid.

Former Mayor Ed Koch, who endorsed a Republican congressional candidate in New York as a way to "send a message" to President Obama on his policies toward Israel, now says he supports the president.

Koch told NBC New York that he is "back on the Obama Express Bus for re-election" after hearing his speech last week to the U.N.

"He has convinced me that he is very supportive of the state of Israel," Koch said. "His speech at the U.N. in support of Israel was extraordinary... I couldn't have made a better one myself."

Obama, in his speech, declared there was no shortcut to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and forcefully defended his opposition to the Palestinian plan to seek statehood recognition from the U.N. Security Council.

Wow, grow a sense of humor there, Fatima.

 

[Intense]

I honestly feel that Koch was trying to relay a message to the Obama administration, that his ideological stance lies with Israel.
Keep up the support, don't stray from the message, or else...

Very possible.
