A new nationwide poll shows that among likely Arab-American voters in November's U.S. presidential election, Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama holds a 21-point lead over Republican candidate Sen. John McCain. Mohamed Elshinnawi has more on what pollsters are calling an historic shift among Arab-Americans toward the Democratic Party.
James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute, announces results of a new poll or Arab-American voters showing Barack Obama holds a 21-point lead over John McCain James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute, announces results of a new poll or Arab-American voters showing Barack Obama holds a 21-point lead over John McCain Arab-American voters align very closely with other Americans on domestic issues such as the economy, jobs, health care and education. But an opinion survey by the private polling group Zogby International found that dissatisfaction with the domestic and foreign policyperformance of the Bush administration is eroding the Republican Party base among a majority of Arab-American voters.
James Zogby, brother of pollster John Zogby, is president of the Arab American Institute, which commissioned the survey released Sept. 18. James Zogby says the results confirm there is an important ideological shift taking place among Arab-American voters.

I’m sure the Arabs in the other countries also favor having a fellow Arab running our country.

Obama is favored by ALL OF AMERICA’S ENEMIES. I wonder why? An anti-American, anti-military, radical hard socialist....the perfect match-up for our communist and Islamic foes.
Manchurian Candidate anyone???

Since Obama is Arab, this isn’t a big surprise.

A hyphenated American is not an American at all.
This is just as true of the man who puts ‘Native’
before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or
Irish or English or French before the hyphen.
Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul.
Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.
We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any
other allegiance.”
Theodore Roosevelt, 12 October 1915
***
I would include any group of citizens that do not
call themselves Americans.
