*Gee, and here I thought Obama claimed to be a Christian. You know, I
better report this slanderous BS immediately to AttackWatch.com! LOL*
*Anyway, it just goes to show that these retarded, sycophant "journalists"
in the Lame Stream Media will stop at nothing in their quest to get Obama
reelected; including completely chucking any last vestige of journalistic
integrity out the window:*

*New York Magazine Calls Obama ‘The First Jewish President’*

In New York magazine this week, John Heilemann contends that President Obama
is the “best thing Israel has going for it right now” and despite some
setbacks he remains a president “every bit as pro-Israel as the country’s
own prime minister — and, if you look from the proper angle, maybe even more
so.”
The cover story‘s attention-grabbing, Toni Morrison-esque characterization
of Obama as “The First Jewish President” comes from a quote by Abner Mikva,
a White House counsel, who during the run-up to the last presidential
election was quoted as saying, “When this all is over, people are going to
say that Barack Obama is the first Jewish president.” While Heilemann thinks
that prediction “has so far proved to be wildly over-optimistic,” he
believes there is “more truth in it than meets the eye.”
In the piece, Heilemann chronicles Obama’s various struggles in his policy
making over Israeli-centric issues. Despite Obama being “well attuned to the
Jewish community and its views”, his wrangling with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu over his support of Israel’s 1967 borders “with mutually
agreed [land] swaps” and Ed Koch‘s high profile criticism has left some
Jewish voters under the impression that he wasn’t fully on their side.
Heilemann strongly disputes this by saying “Obamans have never wavered in
going balls-out for Israel”. He points out that the president’s swift action
in rescuing Israelis trapped in the Cairo embassy when it was under siege
was a quintessential event in Obama’s support of Israel. “The president not
only picked up the phone but leaned hard on the Egyptians to free those
within.” Heilemann quotes Netanyahu saying the president’s help was “a
decisive moment.”
