Wasserman Schultz calls the Tea Party "a group of very extreme right-wing Republicans that are totally out of touch with what average middle class Americans are interested in. They seem to hate everything - they hate public education, they hate government, they don't seem to have any interest in ensuring everybody's quality of life. They support drastic, horrendous cuts that will hurt people. They don't care about the safety net we have in the United States, social security to protect seniors, or Medicare. I don't think much of them."
Wasserman Schultz notes that Obama's commitment to Israel and his speech at the United Nations last month calling for a two-state solution through negotiations should also help cement Jewish support for him.
"We had more military cooperation than ever before - the Iron Dome, the bunker-buster bombs that President [George W.] Bush had refused and President Obama authorized," she says. "The veto at the United Nations on the settlements resolution; the language of resolution on the [2010 Turkish] flotilla to Gaza would be much worse if President Obama hadn't intervened; there was the rescue of the Israeli Embassy employees in Cairo. There is a solid and strong record of support that this president has for Israel..
