My report: Why Is Obama Losing Ground in the Arab World?

Rush had this to say on the program today:

Look at this: Even Arab support for Obama is dropping "dramatically." This is from the Daily Caller, Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.'s website. "A new poll of the Arab world unveiled Thursday at the Brookings Institute shows support for President Obama among Arabs has dropped significantly in the past year. Sixty-two percent of Arabs have a negative view of the American president, up from 23% in 2009, according to the 2010 Arab Public Opinion Poll conducted by University of Maryland and Zogby International. The survey polled sample sizes between 500-800 Arabs earlier this summer in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The poll also show that more than three-quarters of those polled believe Iran has the right to a nuclear program -- a rise from 53% last year -- and that 57% believe that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons -- up from 39% at the end of the Bush presidency in 2008."


What Rush doesn't address is why Obama is losing the support he once had. Is it because he is still supporting Israel against Iran? Or what?

Surely if the Arab world was extremely happy with Obama, it'd be because he threw Israel under the bus.

Obama may be screwing a lot of things up, but if he's got the Arab world upset with him surely he's doing something right in that regard?
