In the meeting, Obama reportedly boasted about his knowledge of Judaism, telling the leaders that he thinks he knows more "about Judaism" than all past presidents. He said he gained this knowledge of Judaism from reading.
"Obama ... stressed he probably knows about Judaism more than any other president, because he read about it," Haaretz reports. "[He] wondered how come no one asks Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner or Senate minority leader Mitch McConnel [sic] about their support to Israel."
Similarly, he said to the group, "I [am] not going to tell you again how I even feel about Israel, but why [are] we still talking about it?"
He then suggested that he should not be questioned about his commitment to the Jewish state because "all his friends in Chicago were Jewish -

Based on what he knew about WWII Nazi prison camps that probably means he knows the Jews originated in Taiwan.

Does he really know about Judism or, does he know the version that is taught in Islamic Madrassa schools? That would be a fundamental question.

"[He] wondered how come no one asks Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner or Senate minority leader Mitch McConnel [sic] about their support to Israel." Well, um, because they actually do support Israel? And they didn't attend a church for 20 years run by an Israel hating anti-Semite?
To: ColdOne
Well, I doubt this is true, since Obama really doesn’t seem to know much about anything except Saul Alinsky.
But certainly one thing is true: Obama knows less about America, its history and values than any other past president.

He should have been asked for a couple of titles he “read about it” in. I’d bet the only one he could cite is “The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion”, if he could even remember that. But neither would I necessarily have expected these 20 “conservative” rabbis to be that quick on the uptake.

All he knows about Judaism probably comes from a 3 cassette box of Jeremiah Wright tapes on the subject (probably focusing on how "Jewish greed runs a world in need").
In fact, if Obama knows so much about it...maybe he can enlighten us.

Today he said he knows more about Scientology than any other president because one of his Kenyan ancestors was dropped into that volcano with the evil Thetas from Planet Koosbane.
Hes coming apart, isnt he?

Obama’s narcissism is evident in his fixation on past presidents. Not only must he be exalted, he must be more exalted than his peer group.
He could easily have compared his knowledge of Judaism with say, Romney, other politicians, or even those in the media, but no, the comparison had to be with past presidents.
I know of no famous athlete, for example, that would dare attempt to compare himself to those of another era. It settles nothing and only makes them look arrogant and small. Obama possesses no such filter, his ego is completely uninhibited.
Our president exhibits a sort of social Turrette’s disease.

Apparently a resounding yes. Just ask his supporters in 99.5% of the media circuit, and those fools who follow the media circuit.

There’s a reason John Semmens’ posts are flagged “Satire,” and yet dozens of posters assume each one is real news. The whole world has gone ‘round the bend.
