He’s also an expert on south Asia, because he says “Pock-ee-stahn” and knows the names of a few curry dishes.

And: the “Austrian” language and “Cinco de Quatro” - remember that?

Smartest. President. Ever.

Rush and other notables in the real conservative media called out Zer0 as a complete fraud in @008.
We at FR knew the truth but those so-called “sophistos” of conservatism
criticised and called us “fringe” conservatives.

Wow! they were so wrong.
How about a mea culpa from the brain trust like Will, Krystol et.al?

This is beyond narcissism. This is delusional.

How about a mea culpa from the brain trust, you know the ones who hated Sarah Palin like Will, Krystol et.al?

I believe him. As a Muslim, Barak Obama has probably been taught everything he needs to take the fight to their mortal enemeies.

After obammy leaves office he’ll announce he’s “evolved” and has decided to become a moose limb.
But he’s a friend of them Jews and Israel, yeah right.

Don’t forget Obama’s war on the Catholic Church - as this undoubtedly ties in to that as well. It’s well-known that Poles greatly value their Catholic faith, by and large. It’s all an effort to paint the color of evil on anyone and anything standing against his political plans of destroying our nation.

The really sad thing is that there many Jewish people yesterday saying the most vile things regarding Poland, and the Polish people. I was actually shocked at the amount of venom being spewed against the Polish people. I *lost* a few *friends* yesterday on FB, but glad to know how they REALLY feel about me and my family - and the day after Memorial Day when my family was mourning the losses and sacrifices OUR POLISH family made in fighting the war in Europe? The horrors and odds they were up against in taking the beaches at Normandy? We ALL lost a great deal during WWII, and while I will never understand what it was like for the Jews, neither will I ever understand what it was like to feel helpless under the NAZI rule in Poland. I can only hope and pray that I, myself, would have the courage to stand for what I knew was right in the face of certain death. One’s desire for self-preservation and preservation of one’s family would be an extremely hard thing to overcome...

Those people were quickly replaced by those who - like me - understand what the Polish people were up against, how many lost their lives, and how many truly DID risk their lives and the lives of ALL of their family members to save the people they could.

For God sakes, the Poles TRIED to defend themselves with CALVARY HORSES against PANZER TANKS because that’s ALL they had! *We* did NOTHING??? It was the whole rest of Europe that did NOTHING, Hitler and Stalin hated the *Slavs* just as much as they hated the Jews. There were MILLIONS of Non-Jewish Poles slaughtered right along side their Jewish neighbors. And, MANY whose story will NEVER be told who sacrificed their lives, and the lives of ALL of their family members attempting to save as many people as they could. The names commemorated in Yad Vashem are but a small portion whose stories are known. How many Jews and their friends who attempted to hide them were all slaughtered together with no witnesses?

Were there Polish collaborators? Of course, just like there were collaborators of the NAZIs in EVERY country they overtook. But, to smear an entire ethnicity of people and an entire nation that was invaded and crushed under the weight of NAZI oppression of letting the NAZIs just *walk in*, and then accusing them of being more than willing to participate in the Holocaust? Of all groups of people in the world the Jewish people should really know better. It’s truly shameful behavior.

And then for Obama to claim he *knows* about Judaism? I must say - evilly brilliant plan on the part of Obama’s handlers... Way to secure the Jewish Democrat vote. That worked quite nicely for him, didn’t it?

First, attack the Catholic Church, then attack Poland and Polish people saying their outrage is feigned and imagined. Then the next day try to make Obama appear as if he’s the one who will protect the Jews against the evils of this world because he *understands* them? Is ANYONE actually taking note of this man’s ACTIONS, rather than his platitudinous words??? Hillary was right about that - Obama is all “just words”.

For Obama and his supporters to use people’s tremendous losses and pit them against one another to manipulate the truth, and prey on people’s fears. Way to go Obama - Satan would be proud, and I’m guessing so would *allah*, your father, FMD, Rev. Wright, Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, etc...

As for saying you are a Judaic scholar? You are a scholar of NOTHING besides your own twisted and warped view of the world, Obama. A genius only in your own mind, and you readily accept praise that your handlers give you as being an honest assessment of the quality of your life, your heart and your beliefs.

This man makes me SO SICK. He is a danger to EVERYONE in this Country, and indeed the WORLD. I pray the Jews will wake up and realize exactly what Obama is attempting to do. As for the *conservative* bloggers and such who were more than ready to jump on the *hate Poland/blame Poles* for the death camps, and the labor camps? You should all be ashamed of yourself - especially for siding with Obama, and playing into his plan all along. At least *we* know now where YOUR hearts lie - and it all remains in anger and bitterness.

I pray for our world as these truly are very dark days... And, where we are headed is even worse...

PS - Obama... Your fellow Democrat Marion Barry wants to talk to you. He’s wondering how you got in trouble for using the word *Polish* when he used the word *Polack* the other day. I think he may want your help on learning the fine art of backhanded slurs...

Obama is a leading indicator of American culture since he knows what arugula is.

James Madison and John Adams both knew Hebrew.

While many of the generations from the Settlement to the Founding knew Biblical Hebrew (because of the religious origins of most of the oldest universities), this should not be interpreted as a friendly attitude towards Judaism per se.

Many of the Founders (including the Unitarian Adams and the deists Jefferson and Madison) sympathized with Jews as victims of religious intolerance, just as liberals do today. But they also had a very low opinion of Biblical Judaism precisely because it preceded later intolerant religions in prohibiting the worship of other "gxds" and assigning penalties--including capital punishment.

To many of the more liberal Founders, Jews were okay as victims, but Judaism was merely an ancient theocratic tyranny.

Any Jew that believes a word out of Zero’s mouth is a fool. Ask Bibi what he thinks of the Dictator in Chief.

Obama could nuke Tel Aviv and he would still get 90% of the Jewish vote.
