I believe American Jews recognize that Obama would like to turn Israel away from its own worst impulses; the underlying key being he wants to save Israel and insure its long time survival. The stalemate between Israel and its neighbors cannot exist forever.

I have no faith in anything big business says because there need is to fool the people and make money. If you are on the Internet and you probably are if you are reading this, you have the possibility of getting more of the truth. A free Internet which is not paid for by big business would be even better because big business would have less control and the people would have more control, That is why they try to keep prices up so big business can better control the internet. Big business has always had the caveman mentality anyway(if you can’t pay you can’t have) which is like walking around the wounded on the trail and going on your way with out reporting it because you did not want to get involved.

I do not know the sample used. From what I hear immigrant jews are overwehlmingly opposed to Obama.

That the safely insulated American Jewish left would not feel so cozy with progressive intellectualism if they lived in Israel, or any just about anywhere outside the cocoon of western civilization.

Netanyahu got it right at the U.N. last week - Obama doesn't even come close to such a man.
