Obama to sign Israel security bill on eve of Romney visit

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will sign a bill to strengthen U.S.-Israeli military cooperation on Friday on the eve of a visit to Israel by his Republican presidential challenger, Mitt Romney.

Obama will seek to stress his commitment to Israel's security for American Jewish voters at a White House ceremony that appeared timed to upstage Romney, who has accused the president of undermining U.S.-Israeli ties.

Obama, criticized by some of Israel's U.S. supporters for being too tough on a close ally, wants to shore up his support among Jewish voters, who could prove critical in battleground states like Florida and Pennsylvania in the November 6 election.

Obama received 78 percent of the Jewish vote in the 2008 election, but a nationwide Gallup poll in June showed him down to 64 percent backing versus Romney's 29 percent.

Romney hopes his trip to Israel will resonate with Jewish voters at home. He will arrive there from London on Saturday and plans to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has had a strained relationship with Obama.

Obama angered many Israelis and their U.S. supporters last year when he insisted any negotiations on the borders of a future Palestinian state begin on the basis of lines that existed before Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza Strip in a 1967 war.

Obama visited Israel as a candidate in the 2008 campaign but has not done so as president.

Don't worry about my footing. I'm quite well. And if you believe that basing a discussion on facts - however inconvenient they might be to your argument - constitutes spin, then you need to familiariz

Just so we're clear - don't come parroting the nutter bullshite that's been rated - time and again - as totally baseless. President Obama "went around the world and apologized for America." Politifa

Where's the apology in that statement? There isn't one no matter how hard you try to see it.

Both in regards to nabbing the Jewish vote.

"I want to take this opportunity to mention how thankful I am for an Obama re-election. The choice was clear. We cannot live in a country that treats homosexuals and women as second class citizens. Homosexuals deserve all of the rights and benefits of marriage that heterosexuals receive. Women deserve to be treated with respect and their salaries should not depend on their gender, but their quality of work. I am also thankful that the great, progressive state of California once again voted for the correct President. America is moving forward, and the direction is a positive one."

Obama attempting to sabotage Romney visit to Israel

Why would Obama even bother? Romney is doing an excellent job thus far sabotaging himself overseas. He's royally fcuked up his visit to the UK and I have all the confidence in the world that he'll ** it up in Poland and Israel all on his own, too. He's just that kind of guy.

Would you like to compare Romney's resume to Obama's? :whistle:

On the international stage? Any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Romney has only a major ** up on his resume thus far.

What did Obama do on the international stage other than help bomb Libya and sell out Mubarak?

Bush hurls on the Japanese Prime Minister. Obama offers the Japanese Emperor a #######. Which took balls and which was being a sissy?

Romney just proved the Brits are a bunch of ninnies. Mission accomplished.

No, Romney went there to make his debut on the international stage and to prove that he appreciates the ties between our nations due to our anglo-saxon heritage. He failed miserably on both goals. I get it, you're a Romney guy but this should upset even the staunchest Romney supporter. The guy is a failure on what should be easy home turf.

No, actually I can't stand the guy. I am one of the undecided. Right now, I am a man without a party.
