Obama: “I am the Closest Thing to a Jew that Has Ever Sat in this Office”

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On June 2, 2015 @ 12:21 pm In The Point | 19 Comments

facepalm [1]

(Insert long string of Yiddish curse words here)

David Axelrod recalled Obama venting in a moment of contemplation, telling him, ‘You know, I think I am the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in this office. For people to say that I am anti-Israel, or, even worse,  anti-Semitic, it hurts.’

Either this quote is real [2] or it was made up by David Axelrod. I’m not sure which is worse.

Since Axelrod is a leftist and a compulsive liar, that would be more of the same bizarre narrative put out by some of Obama’s Jewish toadies. It’s understandable in a perverse sort of way. Jewish leftists have cut themselves off from Jewish values and traditions, and the future of the Jewish people. They retain some sort of vestigial tribalism expressed in Woody Allen movies, jokes about eating Chinese food and pretending that their leftist pals are their soul brothers.

This is coming out in a major push by leftists in the Israeli media to promote Obama’s Iran nuke sellout so it should be viewed as more propaganda orchestrated by leftist idiots out of tune with Israel.

But if Obama actually said this, then he may have actually spent so much time around Jewish leftists that he thinks that the two are one and the same. That having a radical leftist in office is the closest thing to having a Jewish president.

We already had Obama recently telling someone that he is Jewish [3] in his soul. That comment could have been read as merely philosemitic, but the Axelrod one reveals entitlement and appropriation.

Obama is playing the “I am everything to everyone” game.

And on that note, one of his most effective tricks has been mimicking the cultural signals of various groups. As a Third Culture immigrant, Obama is very good at picking up on cultural signals and reflecting them back with the message, “I am one of you. I share your values.”

He can come to a Christian event and talk about his religious faith and then flip over to a pop culture photo op and give out cultural signals to Millenials and Generation Xers that he likes their favorite shows and bands. He’ll hit up liberal Baby Boomers with 60s Civil Rights references and then give a talk in the Midwest filled with references to “Folks”.

It is all very transparent, but Obama is better at it than most politicians are because he is both insecure and egotistical, and absolutely shameless. Hillary’s southern accent has nothing on Obama’s tricks.

Obama’s speeches build imaginary connections. They con those on the receiving end into believing that Obama is one of them.

The interesting question is what does Obama believe.

In a more in depth interview with Martin Indyk, U.S. Special Envoy for the Israeli–Palestinian Negotiations from 2013 to 2014, the latter claimed that “Israelis are ungrateful to this president.”

Remember that string of Yiddish curse words? Throw in a few in here too.

I hope that someone is cataloging these. I am holding out hope that someday, I will be laughing about this reading it from a coffee table book.

He lies about everything, just as Hillarry and Bill do. When Obama makes absurd remarks such as this, those present should laugh in his face. We are not being patriotic by pretending we believe these despots.

Commie David Axlerod.

And mouthpiece Robert Gibbles at left.

That was day 3 of the 2008 'Rat Convention in Denver. They were inspecting the styrofoam Greek Barackopolis from which Zero was to give his acceptance speech.

Does he think people will mistake him for Jewish because he’s a comedian?

Glad u like. (So painful to see USA have to suffer through this administration — economically, socially, morally — ). It’s a horrible punishment and tremendous hardship for so many millions of our citizens - as well as a gross embarrassment internationally of course. Hopefully, we’ll get something better in the upcoming election !
