Reply #54: So basically he's an orthodox Jew who thinks a lot like a fundamentalist Protestant [View All]

I can't speak for the enter Orthodox community, but the few who I know are fine with Obama and aren't planning on going anywhere. Most of the super-Zionist Jews I know (including some who lived in Israel) are not exactly Orthodox, although some of them are very observant. In fact, the only Jewish supporters of McCain I know are not that religious at all. One of them is an immigrant from the former USSR, a group that in my experience is quite conservative in general.

I would say mostly that your friend's outlook is not representative of most Jews in general or of Orthodox Jews in particular, although I am more sure of the first point than the second.
