Felder Voting for Obama in Protest
Here’s Simcha Felder, an Orthodox Jewish City Councilman from Brooklyn, explaining his decision to vote for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton “in protest” over how the Clinton campaign handled the issue of race during the South Carolina primary.
Felder is the first, as far as I know, elected official in New York City bolting from Clinton for this reason.
Felder goes on to say he ultimately might be voting for Michael Bloomberg in November.
Liz has more on Felder’s decision here.

Obama represents a fresh start.
His opponent, and her husband, stand for déjà vu all over again - a return to the opportunistic, scandal-scarred, morally muddled years of the almost infinitely self-indulgent Clinton co-presidency.
Does America really want to go through all that once again?
It will - if Sen. Clinton becomes president.
That much has become painfully apparent.
Bill Clinton's thuggishly self-centered campaign antics conjure so many bad, sad memories that it's hard to know where to begin.
Suffice it to say that his Peck's-Bad-Boy smirk - the Clinton trademark - wore thin a very long time ago.
Far more to the point, Sen. Clinton could have reined him in at any time. But she chose not to - which tells the nation all it needs to know about what a Clinton II presidency would be like.
Yawn....
Simcha should keep his mouth shut, and if he wants to complain about the race issue he should look no farther than the de facto concentration camp "GAZA" and complain to the Israeli government.
I see renatam has been drinking the Obamania koolade, he needs to do a little research on his "fresh start" candidate. Obama is an empty suit sprinkling fairy dust as he meanders around the country.He has yet to come clean on his dealings with the slumlord in Chicago, his time in the Illinois Legislature has been whitewashed by the MSM, so far they have given him a pass.Bill Clinton is not running for office as far as I know!!If you think that Bill.s been tough on Obama what do you think the Repuglicans do to him if he did get the nomination, I guarantee that right now they have sworn testimony from twenty cracheads that they bought crack cocaine from Obama. Enough said. GO HILARY
