Obama finally achieves something that no one thought could be done

The recent Pew Research poll shows aremarkable shift in party identification among Jewish Americans. In 2008, Jews identified themselves as Democrats over Republicans by 64 - 20%. Now, one and a half years in the Obama Administration, the numbers have shifted to 57-33%. That is a reduction of 20% in the margin held by the Democrats. the late Senator Moynihan famously said that "Jews live like Episcopalians but vote like Puerto Ricans." the connection between the Democrats and the Jews in American seemed impossible to break. Now Obama has finally done it. Clearly, the break is not total yet, but the movement is enormous. Congratulations to President Obama froa job well done.
