Obama’s sitting on so much cash due to his non-stop fundraising I doubt he will even notice.

(CNBC) — The most prominent Israeli-American business leader in the United States, Haim Saban, says President Obama needs to do more to show his support of Israel in light of the President’s comments last week suggesting Israel needs to return to its pre-1967 borders to achieve peace with the Palestinians.

In an exclusive interview with CNBC, Saban, one of the biggest individual supporters to the Democratic Party and chairman of Saban Capital Group, said Obama needs to visit Israel as he has done with other countries in the Middle East.

“I’m very perplexed as to why the president, who’s been to Cairo, to Saudi Arabia, to Turkey, has not made a stop in Israel and spoken to the Israeli people, Saban said. “I believe that the president can clarify to the Israeli people what his positions are on Israel and calm them down. Because they are not calm right now.”

…Just as prickly an issue, is whether the president’s treatment of Israel will cause Saban to cut donations to Democrats. He has long been one of the largest individual donors, including giving millions of dollars to help the party build a new headquarters.

Right now, Saban doesn’t plan to donate to President Obama as he has other Democrats.
