'He is in Egypt and he couldn't cross the street to say hello to them?' In a radio interview today, comic legend Jackie Mason slammed President Obama for his campaign’s recent announcement of a potential second term to visit Israel, asking “Did he just buy a map a week ago?” Mason, who bills himself as “The Ultimate Jew,” took issue with Obama failing to visit Israel during his first term despite overwhelming Jewish support for his 2008 presidential election.Mason was speaking today on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s WABC Radio. Stated Mason: “What I would like to know is this: Why does it take five years to find out that Israel is there? Did he just buy a map a week ago? He didn’t know that Israel exists until two hours ago?” The stand up continued: “Can someone answer this question? The Jews gave him 78 percent of their vote. They went everywhere to help him but he can’t go across the street to help them? He is in Egypt and in Lebanon and every country around there within a block and a half of Israel. And he couldn’t cross the street to say hello to them?” Mason said the Obama campaign’s announcement last week of a second term visit to Israel sends a message to Jewish voters that “they don’t deserve [a visit] unless they send him another 78 million dollars and give them another 78 percent of the vote.” The campaign announced that potential visit amid heavy GOP criticism for the president’s not going to the Jewish state during his first term. p>

I know. It confuses me too.
I’m thinking this time around Obama’s Jewish vote will fall to 65-70 percent. American Jews are just very liberal; homeland be damned.
I am reading “Start Up Nation” a book about Israel and their remarkable tech success. I highly recommend it for conservatives..not so much for you libs out there. Israel has converted itself from socialism..or collectivism to capitalism . Somehow the Jews in the US still have the old socialist mindset. Like many isolated ethnic communities..they haven’t adapted to the changes in their homeland.
Silly Jackie, Nancy Pelosi said Obama has been there over and over again.
I do believe that it was Pelosi who said that Obama had been to Israel “many, many times”. I’m pretty sure that she would be unable to draw a map of that entire area or name any country correctly, although she probably could name all of the 57 states.
I have that book too and have read most of it. Very interesting, but I wonder if you also got the feeling that maybe the book is some way an official promotion for Israeli business.
Once upon a time long long ago... before Obama was elected President - while on a trip to Pakistan - his plane refueled in Israel. That’s the ‘visit’... /s
I’m thinking not very likely. Your observation that American Jews are very liberal being the main reason.
I am still counting on my man BiBi, and the Mossad, to figure out a way to keep Bozo from being re-elected. Bibi hates Bozo and knows that if he gets in again Israel is done for!
You're kidding, right?
Seriously. Tell me you're kidding.
Foreign interests ... ANY foreign interests ... can keep their grubby paws off of, and out of, our internal governance.
Well kind of tongue-in-cheek. And, I am not endorsing any direct intervention. Normally, I would agree with you, but Bozo has to be defeated at all costs this time around, or this country, and Israel, will cease to exist as we have known them.
Good. I oppose ANY intervention, direct or 'indirect'. Foreign intelligence services can stay the hell OUT of my country.
but Bozo has to be defeated at all costs this time around
"All costs"??? No, I think NOT. There are many things that would ensure the Kenyan Kommunist's non-election that are worse than a second term of Bam-Bam. One of those is encouraging foreign interference in our electoral process. Even the interference of an ally ...
This is America. We are Americans, it's our country, and we'll solve our problems our way. If employees of Mossad (or any other foreign intelligence service) wish to affect American politics, the Immigration and Naturalization Service can show them how to become US Citizens.
Otherwise ... Stay the Hell out of my country.
Obama was in Israel for about 24 hours during the 2008 campaign.
