From news article:
During the interview Wednesday, when confronted with the anxiety that some Israelis feel toward him, Obama said that "some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion."

"Ironically, I've got a Chief of Staff named Rahm Israel Emmanuel. My top political advisor is somebody who is a descendent of Holocaust survivors. My closeness to the Jewish American community was probably what propelled me to the U.S. Senate," Obama said.

"I think that sometimes, particularly in the Middle East, there's the feeling of the friend of my enemy must be my enemy, and the truth of the matter is that my outreach to the Muslim community is designed precisely to reduce the antagonism and the dangers posed by a hostile Muslim world to Israel and to the West," Obama went on to say.

[doctorzlo]

Yeah, it's in every Israeli paper - check out Jpost, haaretz.

I can not believe it. He's playing the victim card, a clear one. He must be a closet muslim now...

[Fegasderty]

Starve their candidates of funding and don't look back. This is the only reason The One is mouthing this nonsense.

Exactly. get him out of office. He'll throw Israel, the Jews, and anyone else under the bus to secure his legacy.

Well, also his being an arsehole might have something to do with it....

True...

Thanks....He actually said it

Tell him most of Jews voted him and they knew his middle name was Hussein. And that was a mistake which Jews will not repeat!

[Beerinkol]

I specifically would not worry about what someone's name is.

[TorryJens]

"And that was a mistake which Jews will not repeat!"

Wrong! There are members of the US Jewish community, significant numbers here.... maybe even majority that would definitely vote for this Jew hating, idiot savant. There are some that would vote for Carter! Just because they are in the "correct" party. Morons.
