Obama's Arab world

So Obama said: "“There are a lot of Arab countries more concerned about Iran developing a nuclear weapon than the ‘threat’ from Israel, but won’t admit it.”" First, notice that when Obama says "Arab countries" he always means Arab polygamous princes and royals and bloody dictators. He conflates dictators with people. Secondly, is there no adviser on the Middle East in the White House who can inform the president that only last week a comprehensive survey in the Arab world was released by Zogby and it clearly indicates that the majority of Arabs consider US and Israel the threat, and not Iran--the efforts of House of Saud and Zionist hoodlums notwithstanding?
