Earlier Tuesday afternoon, Obama and White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew met about 20 Conservative Jewish community leaders. ...
"I not going to tell you again how I even feel about Israel, but why [are] we still talking about it," Obama said, reminding his guests that all his friends in Chicago were Jewish - and at the beginning of his political career he was accused of being a puppet of the Israel lobby. ...
Obama also stressed he probably knows about Judaism more than any other president, because he read about it - and 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."
Amazing.
Three comments:
1. The reason no one asks John Boehner or Mitch McConnell about their support for Israel is ... because they really do support Israel. The reason people ask Barack Obama about his support for Israel is because his support for Israel has been equivocal.
2. It's truly pathetic that Obama has to reach for the tired (to say the least) trope that some of his best friends were Jewish. Actually, one wishes more of his best friends were pro-Israel Christians. They might have had more luck convincing him, a fellow Christian, that he should be pro-Israel.

What a bunch of unmitigated crap!
What a lame comment by the O. I mean can you see what would happen if ANY white person or other than O ethnicity said...”My friends are all....” That’s akin to just out and out saying “I can’t be racist why some of my best friends are Black”
This man is such a dolt. He thinks he understands Judaism because he was taught in a madrassa
I guess in a world where George Zimmerman is white, Elizabeth Warren is black and tax cheats want to raise taxes, yeah sure I guess Obama is a Jewish scholar....
Our first Jewish president!
This must be what going mad feels like.
Warren is an Indian, just saying.
And he probably taught Moochelle how to make his favorite: matzo ball soup.
Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and Tony Rezko are all Jewish? Who knew?
I've heard that rumor,
but I've never seen the transcripts.
The Matzo’s were probably as dense as drying mud and the broth as saline as The Salton Sea.
There is an art to Matzo Ball soup and Latke’s. My best friend makes them and they are the best.
I don’t feel like I’m eating a salt lick or chewing on goo.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I bet this two-bit bastard would even claim he has white friends too. Scum that sucks bottom just like him. Real pals.
Right you are. They should be fairly firm but tender and porous enough to absorb some broth. Doubt that either Moochelle or Barry know how to make them.
Do you have proof that she’s not black?
She doesn’t have proof she is - but her word is good enough for Harvard, so we little people shouldn’t question it.
POTUS is self identified "black". However his is just as "white" as he is "black". But he identifies as black. How does that work?

This is a joke, right?
They’re liberals. They don’t have to answer to peons like us. :(
