Obama: “I am the Closest Thing to a Jew that Has Ever Sat in this Office”

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On June 2, 2015 @ 12:21 pm In The Point | 19 Comments

facepalm [1]

(Insert long string of Yiddish curse words here)

David Axelrod recalled Obama venting in a moment of contemplation, telling him, ‘You know, I think I am the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in this office. For people to say that I am anti-Israel, or, even worse,  anti-Semitic, it hurts.’

Either this quote is real [2] or it was made up by David Axelrod. I’m not sure which is worse.

Since Axelrod is a leftist and a compulsive liar, that would be more of the same bizarre narrative put out by some of Obama’s Jewish toadies. It’s understandable in a perverse sort of way. Jewish leftists have cut themselves off from Jewish values and traditions, and the future of the Jewish people. They retain some sort of vestigial tribalism expressed in Woody Allen movies, jokes about eating Chinese food and pretending that their leftist pals are their soul brothers.

This is coming out in a major push by leftists in the Israeli media to promote Obama’s Iran nuke sellout so it should be viewed as more propaganda orchestrated by leftist idiots out of tune with Israel.

But if Obama actually said this, then he may have actually spent so much time around Jewish leftists that he thinks that the two are one and the same. That having a radical leftist in office is the closest thing to having a Jewish president.

We already had Obama recently telling someone that he is Jewish [3] in his soul. That comment could have been read as merely philosemitic, but the Axelrod one reveals entitlement and appropriation.

Obama is playing the “I am everything to everyone” game.

And on that note, one of his most effective tricks has been mimicking the cultural signals of various groups. As a Third Culture immigrant, Obama is very good at picking up on cultural signals and reflecting them back with the message, “I am one of you. I share your values.”

He can come to a Christian event and talk about his religious faith and then flip over to a pop culture photo op and give out cultural signals to Millenials and Generation Xers that he likes their favorite shows and bands. He’ll hit up liberal Baby Boomers with 60s Civil Rights references and then give a talk in the Midwest filled with references to “Folks”.

It is all very transparent, but Obama is better at it than most politicians are because he is both insecure and egotistical, and absolutely shameless. Hillary’s southern accent has nothing on Obama’s tricks.

Obama’s speeches build imaginary connections. They con those on the receiving end into believing that Obama is one of them.

The interesting question is what does Obama believe.

In a more in depth interview with Martin Indyk, U.S. Special Envoy for the Israeli–Palestinian Negotiations from 2013 to 2014, the latter claimed that “Israelis are ungrateful to this president.”

Remember that string of Yiddish curse words? Throw in a few in here too.

Since he seems to really hate Jews, perhaps what he’s saying he is that considers himself to be a despicable human being, and he hates himself too.

In his delusional Orwellian world, Obama is the most pro-Israel president ever and never has been an America president more worldwide respected than Obama in the history of U.S. This deranged president also boast to be the most unifying president in our history.

In Obama’s world, Black is white, bad is good, wrong is right.

OBAMA AND THE LIBERATION POPE ARE BIRDS OF A FEATHER

Latin America future on Pope Francis’s dreams: A Latin-America where Jesus embrace Carlos Marx

“Those who ignore history are damned to repeat it” George Santayana

In 1998 then archbishop Bergoglio wrote “that the political and social system closest to the social doctrine of the catholic church was a socialism like the Cuban whenever the idea of God was added to him.”

Before visiting the Holy Land he said that he was going to be the Che Guevara for the Palestinian people. I wonder if the liberation Pope is mentally fit to guide the Church when Christians are persecuted and slaughtered around the world by Muslims while he has allowed the evils of Marxism to take over the Church.

Pope Francis admiration for Che Guevara and the Cuban Stalinist regime leaves no doubt on his radical leftist leanings.

The general of the Jesuits, the father Pedro Arrupe, was not less devout of the sacrilegiously idolized Che Guevara than Pope Francis. When he was killed by Bolivian troops, Arrupe declared that the shout of the Che Guevara in Bolivia was the last echo of the shout of Jesus in the cross. A new church was created by the liberationists, '' the popular church”-parallel and against The Church- that promised a paradise on earth that will emulate the Cuban regime. As a consequence of the paganization of the Church by the Jesuits, in the Nicaraguan popular church they changed Christ in the cross for a Che naked with his genitals exposed.

The penetration of the Jesuit Order by Marxist activists was so generalized that His Holiness John Paul II was forced to take the extraordinary measure of deposing Father Arrupe as General of the order and appointed Fr. Paolo Dezza J.S. as his personal delegate and interim Father General of the Society, passing over Fr. Arrupe’s own choice (his vicar general). Father Dezza was confessor to Pope Paul VI and Paul's successor, Pope John Paul I, and was a teacher of Pope John Paul I's successor, Pope John Paul II.

The Jesuits and the Maryknoll order were the main promoters of the Marxist liberation theology in Latin America, although most of the religious orders and diocesan priests were penetrated by the Marxist liberation theology. The Catholic Youth Work (JOC-Juventud Obrera Católica) fell under the control of Marxist activists provoking a split by those who remained loyal to the Magisterium and to the Holy See.

“The national planning of the Society of Jesus in the United States should, following the example of China, become an international planning. Towards the convergence of problems in all areas of the world around a single theme: the construction in different times and forms of a world Communist society.” (Strategic document of a group of Dutch Jesuits - in collaboration with other Jesuit revolutionaries—published for internal debate in the official journal of the society of Jesus in the United States, National Jesuit News, April 1972.)

Jesuit Pope Francis irrupted to head the Church as an elephant in a crystal shop. First he opened the Vatican to the followers of the proscribed Marxist liberation theology, then, he concocted a Faustian pact against the enslaved Cuban people by which Obama embraced and supported the Cuban Stalinist regime. Before visiting the Holy Land he proudly said that he was going to be the Che Guevara for the Palestinian people. Now Francis is trying to give a moral veneer to the hoax of global warming while keeping silent while it is going a Christian holocaust.

I wonder if the liberation Pope is mentally and intellectually fit to steer the Church in such rough water – the Barque of Peter guided by Francis seems to follow the fate of the Titanic. While Christians are persecuted and slaughtered around the world by Muslims, Francis became the prophet Jeremiah of the hoax of the global warming while he has allowed the evils of Marxism to take over the Church.

A Republican would be pilloried for that statement.

Really no Jews have been close to occupying the Oval Office. Monica spent as much time there as anyone. But if I had to think of Jews who had a long shot chance, have to think of Joe Lieberman and, though not Jewish, Barry Goldwater who had great affection for the Jewish community. Perhaps Judah Benjamin, but he turned down the vice Presidency as a powerless position preferring State. And I guess that was a different country

Does he think people will mistake him for Jewish because he’s a comedian?

Interesting point. I've occasionally remarked he'd be good in Hollywood. And who knows, maybe Denzel Washington would be a good President. Hard to be worse.

Nah, he would be even more attached to Soros, selling out Jews for fun and profit.

Nu? Maybe he thinks he’s descended from Solomon via the Queen of Sheba?

That would be through the apocryphal “Menelek” who was also an alleged Halfrican”.

Obama’s utterings are so unbelievable, I think his speech is controlled by Satan; Satan speaking through him, and I’m not kidding when I write this.
