Obama’s Jewish problem is not “largely fabricated” as Andrew Sullivan claims. (What part isn’t fabricated, Andrew?) It also isn’t just guilt by association with an anti-Semite policy advisor and a bigot reverend. It has to do with his own proposals–in particular, Obama’s willingness to meet with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad absent even modest conditions. Saying you intend to shake hands with the world’s foremost Holocaust denier, a man who has said he wants to wipe Israel off the map, is a problem for Jews. While I don’t speak for the Chosen People as a whole, this may, in part, explain why Obama fares so poorly relative to Clinton in at least one swing-state.
