Private Edition on American Judaists’ Voting Study
Private Edition on American Judaists’ Voting Study
After a CM on TV using the song “Across the Universe,” a midnight TV news program reported that Mr. Obama met with Mr. McCain in Chicago recently.
Yet, Mrs. Clinton is also from Chicago.
SECTION I: MAJOR PLAYER
There are two major unique groups of people in the United States: African Americans and American Judaists.
Of course the major player of the United States of American has been European Americans if coming down from ancestors born in Great Britain or Ireland.
However, what makes America different from Europe is undeniable social forces of African Americans and American Judaists except Indigenous Americans and Hispanics.
Put simply a majority of members of the Republican Party are a majority of European Americans. Accordingly a minority of European Americans constitute the Democratic Party with African Americans and American Judaists.
Generally speaking, no matter how hard they may work, the coalition of African Americans and American Judaists alone cannot seize the power in Washington D.C.
In this sense, a minority of European Americans are a key group to deciding the case in a national election.
As the large-scale financial crisis that is sending a shock wave from Wall Street since this September has turned to be a real threat to poor European Americans, “the minority of European Americans on the Democratic side” have gained momentum with new members from “poor European Americans,” resulting in a clear victory for Mr. Obama and the Democratic Party.
SECTION II: MR. OBAMA AND "AMERICAN JEWS"
It is true that it was often said that Mr. Obama was not so popular among American Judaists before the 2008 Presidential Election voting.

Obama has smaller support among Jews

That's because Obama could have the least Jewish support of any Democratic presidential candidate since Jimmy Carter faced Ronald Reagan in 1980. A national poll released Thursday by the American Jewish Committee has him leading McCain 57 to 30 percent among Jewish voters, with 13 percent undecided. By comparison, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., won 77 percent of the Jewish vote in the 2004 presidential election, according National Election Pool exit polls.
Jewish voters have always been reliably Democratic, but support for Republican presidential candidates has been increasing.
1992 - 80 percent Democrat, 11 percent Republican
1996 - 78 percent Democrat, 16 percent Republican
2000 - 79 percent Democrat, 19 percent Republican
2004 - 77 percent Democrat, 22 percent Republican
2008 - 57 percent Democrat, 30 percent Republican, 13 percent undecided

---------------------------------------------------------
But the exit poll of the 2008 Presidential Election voting shows that Mr. Obama got 78% and Mr. McCain 21%.
It can be also ascribed to the financial crisis. But, there must be more important underlying factors that Mr. Obama garnered that support.
If American Judaists fully support Mr. Obama, it is still poor European Americans that must decide the outcome of the Presidential Election.
Yet, it is very important to see the actual state of support for Mr. Obama from American Judaists, since American Judaists have more social, economic, and religious potential.
SECTION III: AMERICAN JUDAIASTS
A majority of American Judaists did not look like passionate on supporting Mr. Obama before this September.
However the debacle of Wall Street prompted them to changing their view on Mr. Obama or adversely the mainstream and successful European Americans. Accordingly, ordinary but neither super rich nor very influential American Judaists were prompted to take concerted action with poor European Americans and African Americans in addition to not-super-rich Hispanics.
But, as Mr. Summers, Mr. Rubin, Ms. Albright, Mr. Holbrook, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Glickman, Mr. Reich, Mr. Kantor, Ms. Barshefsky, and Mr. Berger are all Judaist secretaries and dignitaries in the Clinton Administration, rich and influential American Judaists must have been determined to drive Mr. Obama as far as possible in the 2008 Presidential Election.
Ordinary American Judaists, even getting humbly richer under the Clinton and Bush Administrations without being much contaminated by avarice, seem to have decided to join those rich and influential members of their religious group when so hit or disillusioned by the Wall Street fiasco.
Rich Christians are closer to Rich Judaists than to poor Christians.
Poor Christians are closer to Poor Judaists than to rich Christians.
In a normal situation, every American Judaist behaves like a Christian American. But, as Christian Europeans broke this rule during the reign of Nazis, the chasm between different religions can be exposed in any country including the U.S. no matter what subtle form it might be in the beginning.
Ordinary American Judaists living in ordinary environments with ordinary European American Christians without any sense of potential threat before must have sensed a hidden danger under this very unusual circumstance called "the financial crisis once in a century" along with the emergence of African American Presidential candidate Mr. Barack Obama and the large-scale military invasion of Christian troops into Islamic regions under the name of the War on Terror.
Though poor Christians have become more closer to Poor Judaists, American Judaists have been requested by the histrical mandate to be more Judaistic or make the U.S. more Judaistic for their safety, security, prosperity, and religious identification.
It is because the U.S. is yet to integrate Christianity and Judaism into one meta-religion.
There is no assurance that the U.S. will never turn to be a kind of Europe before 1945.
American Judaists as a whole need their own American President who is much closer to them than Mr. Clinton is. And, Mr. Obama looks like having this potential though not as a true Judaist.
The true theme, at least in the middle and long term, is not an African American President but a President for, or from, American-Judaists.

As I bought the other day a Japanese book titled “Shikaban Yudaya Bunkaron (Private Edition on Jewish Culture Study)” by Mr. Tatsuru Uchida, I cannot stop mentioning Judaists.
( http://www.bk1.jp/product/02695488 )
Though the Japanese author does not look like perfectly understanding who and what "Jews" are (as is usual for Japanese), his citing of a French expression is very impressive: "Juif est Juif."
(Japanese and Jews have three things in common: birth, marriage, and death. You may have, too, if it is only two, folks.

Pro 11:18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
