What If Obama WERE An Arab?

He's not. But what if he were? There are a million more Arabs than Jews in America.

The lady in question probably meant that he was a Muslim (most of whom are not Arabs, while by no means all Arabs are Muslims). He's not. But what if he were? There are far more Muslims in America than, for example, Episcopalians such as McCain.

The problem is not that many Americans do not know what their own country is really like these days. It is that they do know. Perfectly well.
