Obama: ‘I Am The Closest Thing To A Jew That Has Ever Sat In This Office’
Daily Caller ^ | 6-2-15 | Jamie Weinstein

Posted on 06/02/2015 7:23:10 AM PDT by SJackson

President Barack Obama apparently thinks he’s the closest thing to a Jewish president America has ever had.

Speaking to JPUpdates.com, top Obama confidant David Axelrod described a moment where the president expressed exasperation to him over being derided as anti-Israel by some.

“You know, I think I am the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in this office,” the president claimed, according to Axelrod. “For people to say that I am anti-Israel, or, even worse, anti-Semitic, it hurts.”

During Obama’s tenure, U.S.-Israel relations have fallen to their lowest point in decades.

In the interview, Axelrod attempted to blame the current impasse between America and Israel as the fault of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Axelrod slammed Netanyahu for only being in politics because he wants “to be somebody,” in contrast to Obama and more “respectable” politicians who Axelrod claims entered elective politics to do “something positive.”

I thought I heard that before. Although I was only referring to the name. That being said, barak does mean lightning. However, in some dictionaries, an alternative meaning may be: fartblossom.

Monika Lewinski was the first Jew to sit in the Oval office...

"to sit"?? Is that what we're calling it now?

The obvious fact that he wants to destroy our country blots out, for me, any of the good things that you are able to see about him. I hate his guts and I hope that horrible things fall on him for the rest of his miserable life!

But Mao was Chinese....and I like the Chinese—from Nationalist China, of course. Red China? Not so much. Nixon should have NEVER given Red China the time of day....

As most people nowadays define the word "Jew," he is correct.

If one defines "Jew" as a rustic Theocratic warrior-shepherd commissioned by G-d to extirpate idolatry and impose His Laws over all mankind . . . not so much. But then, I'm apparently the only person on earth who uses that definition.

Closer to a “jackass” would be more accurate.

Nixon resupplied Israel with weapons after ‘73 war thus launching the oil embargo retaliation.
Nixon was the first real pro-Israel President.

Lincoln was probably paternally Jewish; ergo not Jewish at all, although he did consider himself Jewish.

I've never heard that before.

Lincoln's parents were Primitive Baptists ("Hardshells"), which influenced him even after he became a "freethinker." For a while he subscribed to a sort of fatalism that was a secularized version of the Hardshells' ultra-Calvinism.

Judaism doesn't have "values." It has commandments--Divine commandments. When did Judaism get re-defined as non-Theistic "social justice???"

Oh, and Tony Kushner is an Israel-hating abomination.

Actually, the first real pro-Israel President was LBJ. I know . . . the man was a lowlife, but he was pro-Israel, as opposed to a number of Presidents who are often called "pro-Israel" but weren't (Truman, Kennedy). Unfortunately, Eisenhower was very hostile to Israel.

Nixon did supply Israel during the Yom Kippur War, but he wasn't really pro-Israel in his personal beliefs, and once even indicated that he didn't believe Israel would last very long. He definitely didn't believe it was a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.

You know, he could be right, if you were playing Six Degrees of Obama and consider Sammy Davis, Jr.

Obama: ‘I Am The Closest Thing To A Jew That Has Ever Sat In This Office’

Well that's completely false. Jews are smart and some are freakin geniuses. Obama is the dumbest, most stupid, least accomplished nobody to have ever walked through those doors.

He is the furthest from being a Jew of all the Presidents.
