Checking Up on the Obama Campaign Website

Folks have been scouring the Obama website for signs of airbrushing. Donald Sensing found one that's most curious. It's about Jews and the Obama campaign and what would happen if Jews don't vote for Obama. From the now deleted page:
However, if Jews betray Obama and he loses, Africans worldwide would consider it a betrayal to the whole African people and will never forgive world Jewry. In retaliation, (eye for eye, remember!) Africa would consider expelling all Jews from Africa who have been mining African Gold and Diamond and enriching themselves for many centuries. ...

Jews must support Obama or face grave consequences. You cannot afford not to.

Africans have been nice and helped Jews for more than 2000 yrs.

Now, I say to Jews all over the world, it is time to show your gratitude.
Screen caps are provided as well.

The question is whether the Obama campaign sanctioned such comments in the first place, which I don't know, but they did delete them - which shows that they understand the importance of getting rid of bad actors and those who post vile crap to their site.

It tends to highlight more about the people who support Obama than about Obama himself. That's par for the course given that Obama doesn't have much of a policy position on anything (Mr. Present) and those positions he does take are odious and antithetical to capitalism or out of convenience.
