American Jews as a voting group tend to be socially liberal (there are some exceptions, mainly Orthodox Jews, but they are not a large percentage of America's Jewish population), and they tend to be Democrats. Further, even many of those who are Independent feel the Republican party has become far too conservative. They are uncomfortable about how (as they see it) today's Republican party is dominated by an extremist faction that wants to impose a certain theology and a certain set of moral beliefs on everyone. Also, contrary to myths spread by a number of Republican politicians, Mr. Obama is not anti-Israel, nor is he anti-Semitic, so there is no reason why the average Jewish voter would find the president difficult to support.

Is Obama good for Jews?

It does not appear Obama will not support Israel. It is a wonder that Jews vote Democrat in such large numbers when their values are more closely aligned with Republicans.

No, she was not. By all accounts, she was a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Her parents who raised her were also Protestants (and they were the ones who raised young Barack when she was not able to do so). Barack Obama does have a multi-religious family, and his relatives include Buddhists, Christians, and Muslims. It is Michelle Obama who has Jews in her family-- her first cousin is a famous rabbi.

Is barry soetoro gay?

First, there is no "Barry Soetoro." This is a common "Birther" myth spread by people who refuse to believe Barack Obama was born in Hawaii (even though he was). Mr. Obama did in fact get a step-father named Lolo Soetoro, but according to numerous credible sources, Mr. Soetoro never formally adopted Barack, nor did Barack ever use his step-father's last name during his life. He did go through a period of being known as "Barry" rather than Barack, but his last name remained Obama. Second, contrary to various anti-Obama websites, there is NO credible evidence that Barack Obama was raised a Muslim. He was mainly raised by his mother (a non-practicing Christian) and by his maternal grandparents, who were Protestants (some sources say Methodists, others say Unitarians). Mr. Obama has relatives in Africa who are Muslim, but he also has relatives who are Buddhists, Jews, and various denominations of Christians. He has always said he is a Christian, and there is no proof that he ever practiced any other religion. He has also always said he was raised to have respect for all religious traditions; has repeatedly demonstrated that belief by holding holiday celebrations for Jews, Muslims, Christians, and others at the White House.


Does Barack Obama has a relation to Jews?

Yes and no. Mr. Obama is Christian, but his family has many religions in it-- he has relatives who are Buddhist, Muslim, and Christian. He also has many long-time friends who are Jewish, although none of them are related to him. But you may be thinking of his wife Michelle-- she too is Christian, but her first cousin is a well-known Jewish person, a rabbi from Chicago.
