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.”

So as Bill Clinton was the first black President, Obama is the first Jewish President.

I’d say that ABRAHAM Lincoln was a wee bit closer in name.

... and the first gay, and the first Socialist, and the first Muslim and the first Kenyan.

I thought the Joooos controlled everything

[Darksheare]

The fail is so strong with him.

[Steely Tom]

Sounds like the sort of thing Robert Mugabe or Sese Seko would say.

Plus, with that hat, beard, and his taste for black suits, Lincoln could blend in well in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood.

[Boogieman]

Oh yeah, and to top it off, he was a lawyer!

[jasbd1985]

OK that one almost made me spit my coffee. Very good.

[Pollster1]

“Jew-hater” does have “Jew” in the name, but that doesn’t make Obama almost Jewish. Antisemitism disgusts me, and Obama is bubbling over with it.

Taqiyya

We're supposed to take Axelrod's word on this?

Corruptio Optimi Pessima, when the best go bad they become the worst, The President is extremely intelligent, handsome, personable, I even like him. But what do you do with such a person who wants to hurt our country?
