It took long enough

A new poll was released today in which Jewish Americans were asked their preferences for president. For the first time in my memory, a plurality of Jews chose "someone else" other than a sitting Democratic president. Here are the main results.

Would you vote to re-elect Barack Obama as President or would you consider voting for someone else?
Total
Re-Elect 42
Someone Else 46
Don’t Know/Refused 12

The poll by Mclaughlin & associates can be reached by link from the title to this post.

To say the least it took long enough for American Jews to realize how truly terrible Obama has been for this country and for issues of particular importance to Jews like Israel. Remember, Jews voted 76-24 for Obama over McCain, so this is a swing of 34% away from Obama. It seems that all it takes is months of unreasonable demands on Israel to keep portions of Jerusalem free from Jews (should we call it Judenrein?) until at least some Jews recognize that Obama is no friend to Israel. No matter what the great orator reads from his teleprompter, his actions are clear. those actions are extremely anti-Israel. the US deserves better in my opinion.
