As part of his public reconciliation with Israel, Obama for the first time in the almost 18 months since he became president just gave an interview to an Israeli TV station (this from the same American president who gave his first interview in office to Al-Arabiya — remember that ?). Speaking Wednesday to Israel’s Channel 2 News, Obama struck a friendly tone.

And yet, as if he can’t quite help himself, out comes this astonishingly crude remark. As reported in the New York Times, he was asked about “the anxiety of many Israelis who feel that he does not have a special bond with Israel.” Obama replied — get ready for it: “Some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion.”

Wasn’t Obama’s comment pretty insulting. Basically saying, you Jews are too stupid to get past my middle name and see how wonderful I am. Essentially, he was calling them racist in a mild way - ie. “they are blinded by their hatred of all things Arab”

I don’t like any of his names. Firts , last, or middle.

The man is a Muslim and not a very bright one at that.

I had no idea it had anything to do with his name - I had always assumed it was because he was a first-class rectal opening.

And it is always the same cheap scapegoating MO. . .someone elses fault; their failings and their bias; their racism; their greed. . .their ignorance versus that. . .of Obama and his like-minded, enlightened disciples.
