Constantly amazed by this man - is there anything he doesn't understand better than any human before - ever?

Article in the Weekly Standard today -

QuotePresident Obama met yesterday with "about 20 Conservative Jewish community leaders, thanking them for the work they do to improve communities around the country and discussed their shared commitment to rebuilding the U.S. economy," Haaretz reports.

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?"

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.

According to Ynet's account of the meeting, President Obama insisted that the perception that he's not a friend of Israel is the work of Republican bigotry

Remember back in the cold war days (maybe we still have it) the DEW line - Distant Early Warning?
This guy's got his own only it's Distant Ego Warning - you must be able to sense him before he comes into eyesight range, no?

Silly me, should have known it was Republican bigotry. Here I was thinking it was because he blew off Benjamin Netanyahu, (after he flew all the way over here), called for Israel to return to pre-1967 borders, and just handed $1.5 billion to the Muslim Brotherhood.

I don't know if the egomaniac in him that makes him say this shit, or the fact that he's a Muscum and learned about the Jews from a position of hatred for the Jews.

If you read about Jews from a Palestinian perspective, then yeah, he knows more about Jews and why he has such a disdain for them.
This guy is such a fraud!

Right now I think that Obama is the best friend that conservatives have. I want him to just keep on talking..............Biden too.

Did you here about Obama's remark about the "Polish" concentration camp? They're all kinds of pissed off.
