Jews are interested in the number of Jews on the Supreme Court, in the President’s cabinet and in Congress. Should not whites take a similar interest? We’ve had our first mulatto president who chose to identify as black and to select policies that would be good for blacks at the expense of whites. It would make sense for non-blacks to oppose Obama for, among other reasons, because he is black and is particularly partial to pushing black interests (Obamacare, civil rights enforcement, whipping up racial hysteria over Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Louis Gates, etc).
The number of Jews in Congress has consistently been going down for several election cycles now. This might mean nothing, and merely be the result of the gain made by Republicans – the party with less Jews. Or it might mean that less Jews are interested in politics.
If less Jews are interested in politics, it might once again be of no interest – maybe it is no longer important to have “Jewish” representation in Congress as Jews are fully integrated in America and have no reason to worry about having their “own kind” serving in large numbers. Or it might be of interest because of one of two reasons:
Because the fact that Jews are no longer running says something troubling about Jews’ competitiveness and drive.
Or because having Jews in Congress is still relevant to the community.
Since the Democratic Party is the party of most Jews, the burden of considering the above-mentioned questions and then – if you conclude that there is a problem – suggesting new ideas to answer them falls mainly on your shoulders.
