The new AIPAC president
hails from Chicago, the home state of President Obama, and also is on
first-name terms with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and David
Axelrod, President Obama’s senior advisor.
Steve Rosen, a former
23-year, high-ranking AIPAC official, told the Chicago Tribune,
“I don't think AIPAC has made any secret of the reality that his
friendship with the president played a role in Rosy's rise. He's a guy
who works very hard at fundraising [and] in the political arena. It was
not as if he was plucked out of nowhere. He paid his dues. But I'm sure
nobody was blind to the fact that he's from Chicago.“
Rosenberg is
known as an expert in bringing in big money from powerful people who
generally are not outwardly committed to Israel.
