There is a serious problem with Ed Lasky’s argument: most Jewish-Americans disagree with him! They have been persuaded that Barack Obama is their secular savior. Furthermore, it would probably be racist to oppose him. I see no evidence to suggest that someone like Marty Peretz is horrified by the behavior of the Obama administration. My guess is that the Messiah still retains the support of over 65% of all Jewish-American voters. Democrats since Franklin D. Roosevelt often realize that they can play them for suckers—and I don’t sense anything changing in the near future. Look how nasty and viciously unfair they were toward Sarah Palin while groveling at the feet of a man who listened to the anti-Semitic rants of his pastor for twenty years.
