The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) appears to have realized that they have spent a tremendous amount of money in a losing cause and are trying to recoup some of their losses by selling a really expensive Obama poster ($250) that calls Jewish American loyalties into question (and to my mind says something really positive about Obama).
[I should investigate how many important RJC members started in business by selling Nazi porn. See The Holocaust and "Getting Off" on Abusing Palestinians as well as The Most Important Hanukkah Gift: The Holocaust Survivor Cookbook!]
After all, should we really care whether Obama is right for Israel? He is running for President of the USA and not for Israeli Prime Minister. It is probably almost needless to say, but from practically any standpoint (realist, ideological or ethical) Israel is completely wrong for the USA, and the RJC claim is an excellent reason to vote for Obama.
I am almost inclined to buy the poster so that I can put it on my lawn next to a sign exhorting Americans to vote for Obama-Biden if I could somehow make it clear that "Wrong on Israel" reflects the opinion of extremist Zionist Republican Jews.

Kudos to Philip Weiss for publicizing this new RJC moneymaker!
Republicans Rip Off Obama Icon for Appeal to Jewish Dual Loyalty
McCain doesn't sell. Everyone's selling Obama. If you give $250 to the Republican Jewish Coalition, they will send you this poster, which they accurately call a "collector's item," 27-by-40. Obama sure is iconic, check out this search.
P.S. Question: Is Obama right on the U.S.?
