Of all the things this guy theoretically should apologize for, calling out one of the left’s heroes for telling Jews to “get the hell out of Palestine” doesn’t even crack the top million.

“I want an apology from the president,” Thomas, 90, said Tuesday to the hundreds of student journalists and their advisers attending the keynote session of the annual spring convention of College Media Advisers (CMA) at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City…

“Her comments were offensive,” Obama said [at the time]. “It’s a shame because Helen’s someone who has been a correspondent through I don’t know how many presidents, was a real institution in Washington, D. C. But I think she made the right decision. I think those comments are out of line, and hopefully she recognizes that.”…

At one point during the session, Shira Kaminsky, a 23-year-old student journalist at the University of Massachusetts, stood up and announced that she was a third generation Israeli.

It was the only good thing he has said since getting in office. He probably will apologize for it!

I can't stand Helen Thomas,and she is not owed and apoligy from anyone ..I want her to apologize to the Jewish people for her hateful remark..As for Obama he was probably clapping ever time he saw the clip of the old hag saying what she did..

I would like to see and apology from Obama for treating BB Netanyahu the way he did..he has no problem showing BB that he could care less about him or the Israeli people..Obama and Helen can both go to hell..

The definition of chutzpa: An old Jewish woman was selling bagels on the street corner for 25 cents each. A man walked
by her corner every day for three years, left a quarter but
never ever took a bagel. One morning he walked by, left a quarter and before he could step away the old woman said to
him, not so fast, the bagels are now thirty cents. Now that’s
what you call CHUTSPA.

Helen I don’t know what a one way ticket to Palestine costs but I’ve got a credit card that can cover it and I want to pay your way over there if you just promise to STFU once you get there.

Yes, but she was selling the SAME bagel for the last three years. They depreciate with age.
