On one level, none of this is surprising. Obamas irritation with the Jewish state and personal distaste for Netanyahu have been apparent nearly from the start of his presidency. This is just as we would imagine Obama would sound in private.
Its nearly impossible to image Presidents George W. Bush or Ronald Reagan saying such a thing for the simple reason that neither held our democratic ally is such low esteem. They looked upon the democratically elected leader of our ally with respect and affection.
Obamas comment put liberal Jews once again in a tight spot. It seems like only last month that the Anti-Defamation League was clucking at citizens to take Israel off the table as a subject of discussion in the 2012 election. But yesterday the ADL trudged back to the topic, obviously glum that Obama had once again revealed himself to be less than a sympathetic friend to Netanyahu and to Israel. A statement read:
We are deeply disappointed and saddened by this decidedly un-Presidential exchange between Presidents Sarkozy and Obama.

Obama doesn't hate Jews....he loves having plenty close...if they share his world view..which Bibi does not and Israel stands in the way of
“...Christian America and Jews.”
But remember... 4 more years of Obama is far better than a President Romney. (I read that here).
He’s just jealous of a REAL man.
You’re welcome...glad you enjoyed it. In marked contrast to our Poser-in-chief, Bibi has been consistent in his beliefs and standing up to Hamas since forever. Hussein is a world-wide embarrassment.
Every government has a dossier on leaders. I assume the Mossad has volumes on your president.
It was no accident they said this while miked up. They know the rules when they are wearing a mike. People with that experience could not possible forget.
Whatever they said they meant it to be heard by the Israelis and their enemies.
Yep, there are idiots abound. Its #$%#$ horrible that the American people were conned into having a indonesian muslim in the White House. A flippin alien!
His anti Christian position permeates his global policies and we will feel that for years.
Yeah, but not to worry . . . every Jew in Manhattan and around the country will still vote for the buffoon. Kinda’ makes you think they’d vote Hitler in again if he were running.
Go figure that one out . . . Obambi is a devout muslim, anti-Semetic who’d rather wipe Israel off the map (as all good muslims would), but they’ll still vote for him en-masse. Who’d a’ thunked!
So...a muslim, a gay guy, and a communist walk into a bar, and the bartender says,...wait for it...”What can I get you Mr. President?”
No problem...I was being a little tongue-in-cheek on the "professor" comment for that very reason - resume' enhancement by his handlers.
Obama, like most African-Americans and almost all Arab-Americans, simply hates all Jews.
