Obama: I Know More About Judaism Than Any Other President Because I Read About It

Other presidents don't read, and probably had no top Jewish advisors and cabinet secretaries.

Or friends.

At a meeting with Jewish leaders, according to Haaretz's reporting:

"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?"

Of course I love you, My Wife. Why must you keep making me say so?!?! Don't you know how it burns my throat to say I love you, even though I totally, totally do?

He then suggested that he should not be questioned about his commitment to the Jewish state because "all his friends in Chicago were Jewish - and at the beginning of his political career he was accused of being a puppet of the Israel lobby," Haaretz reports.

Well, at the beginning of his political career, he was being introduced to voters in the home of archleftist terrorist bombers William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn, and himself feted Israel hater and PLO sympathizer Rashid Khalidi, so I guess it's quite possible he was called a pawn of the Jews at the beginning of his career.
