[Obama] 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.It is almost inconceivable that Obama could honestly be baffled over the bad reputation he has acquired with respect to Israel - which means he is simply faking his surprise, and not very convincingly.
Update: Of course, if you're looking for real tongue-tied incoherence, it's hard to top the President's mouthpiece, Jay Carney (H/T: The ever-watchful Captain Heinrichs).
"I have best friends who are Jewish/black/other"...
ReplyDeleteHow many times since the 60s have we heard that?
I do have friends who are Jewish, and Black, and Other. Not "best friends", just friends and acquaintances. I don't tend to think of them in "best friend" terms. They're just "friends", because I like their company when I meet and talk with them. Most people who have friends like that probably think the same thing.
I despise Obama and his whole administration (*cough* Valerie Jarrett *cough*) for just this attitude, because it is documented proof that a black skin is not proof against racism in its most virulent, secretive form.
Once again, and for the last time (maybe), I'll say this: I didn't vote for Barack Obama because I spent a lot of time online looking at the scant information about his background before the election. But when he got elected, I thought, okay fine, maybe it's good for America to have a black president for the first time, and if he's inexperienced, he'll learn on the job. How bad can he be?
Well, now I know how bad he can be, because even the sparse information available at the beginning of his campaign didn't begin to delve into his lifelong marinade in true-blue Marxist indoctrination and alienation from the American mainstream.
I have hope that America will vomit up this execresance, and change back to the original vision of what we ought to be.
Sorry, had a political discussion earlier with a friend, and we solved all of America's problems over a liter of red wine, and banished America's enemies with a RWDB curse.
ReplyDeleteRebecca: Can you get that solution introduced on the floor of the House? On second thought, better wait until November.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with using booze as brain lubricant, Rebecca. I wish I could tell you how many world problems I've solved that way.
ReplyDeleteIf I could remember any of them.....
