Krauthammer Rips ‘Personal Hurt’ Obama’s ‘Closest Thing’ to a Jewish President Claim
Breitbart ^ | 2 Jun 2015 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 06/04/2015 2:02:05 PM PDT by SJackson

On Tuesday’s “Special Report” during the show’s “All-Star Panel” segment, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer reacted to remarks from President Barack Obama claiming he was “the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat” in the Oval Office.

Krauthammer expressed his confusion, but criticized Obama’s “personal hurt” and suggested he reevaluate his position on an Iran nuke deal.

“I’m not sure I even understand what that means,” Krauthammer said. “But perhaps the judgment of Israelis, who 6 million of them are Jews, have a pretty good idea what a Jew is and more importantly have a pretty good ideal of what a friend is – I think the approval rating for Obama is about 15 percent. The administration pretends this is about Netanyahu and Likud and the hawks and extremists. And 15 percent of Israelis have a favorable view of Obama. The overwhelming majority of Israelis know that this president has probably been the least favorable to Israel of any in Israel’s history and at a moment where Israel’s existence is actually in question.”

“For Obama, this is a matter of personal hurt,” he continued. “I mean, who cares what he feels? The issue is will Iran go nuclear? We know Iran’s objective is the eradication of Israel – something it repeats over and over again.

It seems that Obama is upset that Clinton beat him to being the first Black president.

Obama is now trying to compensate by claiming to be the first gay, Jewish, Muslim, transgendered president.

Oh well. Three out of four ain't bad.

Obama lives in Opposite Land.

Does just the opposite of what he says.

Dear God, is it not enough that he was raised a poor blck child in this racist hellhole of America? Is it not enough that the mean old Republicans will do anything to undermine him? Is it not enough that despite all his hard work at uniting a divided country, the rich white men are still shooting his "sons" on a regular basis? Is it not enough that the same racist, white, conservative minority thwarts every peace loving Muslim act of kindness? Now, we're not going to let him be Jewish? If my country treated me like that, I'd just leave.

After hearing Krauthammer, Obama said he was the closest thing to a Paraplegic in the White House.

In my opinion, he could refer to himself as Capo.

I am beginning to feel guilty for ridiculing Obama. Mental illness is nothing to laugh at.

It’s islamism. Not mental illness.

Kind of the same thing.if you think God wants you to kill people who don’t agree with your religion, you’re mentally ill.

Except in the case of islamism, it’s directed.
