There's nothing not to get. The idea that people who no longer work for Obama only went someplace they were paid to go because of Obama is completely lacking in any real facts.

The White House was directly involved in an attempt to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last week’s general election, during a nadir in ties between the Israeli leader and US President Barack Obama, a senior Jerusalem official said Tuesday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Times of Israel that “it’s no secret” that the Obama administration had attempted to influence the outcome of the election, having been partially motivated by a desire for revenge over Netanyahu’s polarizing speech before Congress earlier this month, which sought to undermine the president’s key foreign policy initiative – a nuclear deal with Iran.
“The White House is driven by three main motives,” the senior official said. “The first is revenge [over the Congress speech]. The second is frustration: It’s no secret that they were

No, they do not. Everything you say after this doesn't matter, until you understand this. They do not work for Obama. They USED to work for Obama, but Obama doesn't have any more campaigns to run. So they went somewhere else to work.

Greetings, Travis007. :2wave:

Twice Abbas from Palestine has rejected a deal brought to him at different times by both US Secretary's of State Clinton and Kerry - and they accuse Israel of "torpedoing negotiations?" Israel wasn't even in on it, but it's their fault? Let's have a little honesty here, damn it!

Palestine wants what Israel was given by the UN 67 years ago - a marshy bit of worthless land that Israel worked hard to improve, and succeeded in doing so - and they're not going to be satisfied until they get it, IMO. It would be very pleasant for them to take what Israel's hard work over the years has produced with no help from them, wouldn't it? How long would it take for them to make it trashy like the place they currently live in? Not long, I'd warrant, because they are lazy! They could make the land they do have a lot nicer with a little work, you know!

Envy and greed are disgusting things to see, especially with the "gimme some freebies" attitude they seem to have! I agree with defunding them if they continue to reject US-led efforts, in accordance with what the UN has said would be a fair agreement. Who the hell do they think they are? :thumbdown:

Both of Obama's campaigns were revolutionary and masterful in their abilities to use data and analytics. Why wouldn't other campaigning politicians be interested in using them?

No, it's not a coincidence that another campaign team would be interested in using members from Obama's successful campaigns. And it's not a coincidence that a group of people who believe in left wing ideology would work for left wing political groups. The problem you're having is understanding that people are not required to work for Obama if they don't want to. And since this group was no longer even under employ by Obama, the idea they were sent by Obama is lacking in any real evidence.

there is an ongoing investigation into this.

Yes. Even those who don't like Obama can admit his campaigns completely outclassed his contenders' campaigns.

Yes, and just like the numerous other investigations launched by Republicans, this one too will find no wrong committed.

Sure they do. Even Mitt Romney's team thought that and tried to match the Obama team's power for using data and they admitted they simply were not prepared for election day.

Whether you like Obama or not (and it's obvious you do not), you cannot deny his campaign's incredible use of data, nor can you deny the influence it will play in presidential elections from here on out. Trying to deny what is essentially a fact only serves to discredit any position you take.

And once you realize the quality of Obama's campaign team, it would not be surprising at all for other campaigns to want to hire those who were apart of them. Which is why it's easy to understand a campaign run by Netanyahu's opposition would want them.

I'm a big Obama critic. Decent people are upset that a foreign leader stood in our halls of congress and made a fool of our president. The rest are so blinded with hate, that they'd applaud their own president being openly mocked.

In interviews with Business Insider, Republican campaign strategists cited the GOP's data disadvantage as a central weakness holding the party back.
"As the Republican Party determines what it's going to do with itself, how it is going to restructure, the clock continues to tick," said Cyrus Krohn, a former director of digital strategy for the Republican National Committee and co-founder of the microtargeting startup Crowdverb. "This is a problem that we cannot wait until six months before the midterm cycle to address."

Once a Republican campaign strength — Karl Rove was known for his mastery of microtargeting during George W. Bush's presidential campaigns — Krohn explained that Democrats made a concerted effort to catch up technologically after the 2004 election, using dynamic data to complement the static data used by Republicans.

The result, Krohn said, is a powerful apparatus with years of data insights, which far surpasses anything that has been developed on the Republican side.
