Barbra Streisand to American Jewish voters: I trust President Obama

[additional-authors]
November 2, 2012

The Hollywood doyenne of the Democrats tells American Jews that President Obama shares their values. In this youtube video for the National Jewish Democractic Council, Babs addresses Obama's record on the economy, women's rights, gay rights and Israel.

“President Obama continues to stand strongly with our ally Israel and in preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons while implementing the strictest sanctions ever,” Streisand says.

“Governor Romney would take us backwards,” she says of Romney's policies on women's reproductive rights, healthcare and taxation. “Mitt Romney does not share our values. I know Barack Obama does. In this good man, we have a president we can trust, a president whom I trust.”
