I`m a "Russian-speaking" Jew (or to be more precise, a Ukrainian-born, Jewish American).
Most of us really care about the president`s race or whether the foolish rumors about his secret religion are true.
We`re just suspicious of someone who barely had any political experience or any serious background to become a president of our adopted country. We`re also suspicious of his ties to some pro-Palestinian individuals.
Lastly, most of the "Russian-speaking" American Jews, especially ones who were not born in the US, have traditionally been either moderates or conservatives, but definitely not liberal or pro-left.
