In the meeting, Obama reportedly boasted about his knowledge of Judaism, telling the leaders that he thinks he knows more "about Judaism" than all past presidents. He said he gained this knowledge of Judaism from reading.
"Obama ... stressed he probably knows about Judaism more than any other president, because he read about it," Haaretz reports. "[He] 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."
Similarly, he said to the group, "I [am] not going to tell you again how I even feel about Israel, but why [are] we still talking about it?"

Based on what he knew about WWII Nazi prison camps that probably means he knows the Jews originated in Taiwan.

Does he really know about Judism or, does he know the version that is taught in Islamic Madrassa schools? That would be a fundamental question.

"[He] 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." Well, um, because they actually do support Israel? And they didn't attend a church for 20 years run by an Israel hating anti-Semite?
To: ColdOne

But certainly one thing is true: Obama knows less about America, its history and values than any other past president.

What a load of horseshit! This is in the same league as his claim to being the 4th greatest president! Is anyone swallowing this sh*t?

Bill Kristol on Obama's claim:
one could ask whether what he knows is what he learned from Rashid Khalidi and Jeremiah Wright.
To: Tax-chick
I think Semmens has given up....I heard he decided it was a futile effort when people continually think the white house press releases are more satirical than the fruits of his hard labor. /s
