More Jews disapprove of Obama than approve, which of course means that most Jews now hate black people. (The only possible explanation for thinking a SCOAMF is doing a poor job.)
For the first time since he took the oath of office, President Barack Obama’s job-performance disapproval number among Jewish voters is higher than his approval, the American Jewish Committee’s (AJC’s) Annual Survey of American Jewish Opinion showed Monday.
