Brooklyn Democratic Assemblyman Dov Hikind will cross party lines to back Mitt Romney for president.
Hikind, who has pull among Orthodox Jews, said he’s fed up with the way President Obama has treated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the Jewish state deals with threats from Iran.
The assemblyman said his backing of Romney will be more than lip service. He has offered to stump across the country.
“Florida. Pennsylvania. Wherever Romney needs need me, I’ll be there,” Hikind said.
Arguing that Obama has been a bad president, Hikind said he was particularly infuriated that the president couldn’t find the time to meet with Netanyahu during the UN conference but has schmoozed with celebrities at New York fund-raisers.
“Israel is under the gun. Israel is the target of Iran. Israel’s existence is being threatened. And Obama doesn’t have time to meet with the Israeli PM? It’s insulting. It’s degrading. This president scares me,” Hikind said.
“I’m a Democrat but not a knee-jerk Democrat. I’m only loyal to America and the survival of Israel.”
Hikind frequently backs Republicans for national office. He supported John McCain over Obama in 2008 and backed the re-election of George W. Bush in 2004.

Stop the Presses!Hikind frequently backs Republicans for national office. He supported John McCain over Obama in 2008 and backed the re-election of George W. Bush in 2004.
Someone who did not vote for Obama in 2008 is not voting for him in 2012. Romeny's bad week just turned around!
He'll help Romney as much as he helped McCain in 2008.
Let us know when Obama decides to endorse Romney because at this stage that's about the only endorsement that will pull Romney out of the gutter.

For someone disgusted with everyone and having no horse in this race, you are pulling mighty hard for Romney to win.

Re: Democrat Backs Romney
It's all because Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act which birtherplanet mistakenly believes authorizes the federal govt to arrest anyone anytime for anything and hold them forever. He's not really a Romney fan boy. He's just a concerned citizen who feels his rights have been trampled upon.

Re: Democrat Backs Romney
I couldn't care less about about Obama and other countries. America should be getting out of other countries and let them kill themselves if that's the way it's gonna go.
