Barack Obama had some face time with top ultra-Orthodox Jewish community members during his fund-raising swing through Midtown, which came on the heels of Hillary Rodham Clinton's decision to leave the race.

Obama chatted with three members of the Satmar sect, including representatives from rival factions, as they attended a campaign fund-raiser at a private home on Park Avenue.

They stand with the anti-Semites in front of the Plaza Hotel every year at the Salute to Israel parade. Behind barricades, with plenty of cops guarding them.
