Oh Brother… New York Magazine Calls Obama the First Jewish President
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, September 19, 2011, 6:37 AM
In May Barack Obama urged Israel to hand over half of Jerusalem, the Wailing Wall, The Temple Mount, Old Jerusalem, and the tomb of Jesus Christ to the Hamas-Fatah terrorist alliance.
Despite this, and his continued disrespect of our American ally, New York Magazine this week contends that President Obama is the First Jewish President.
Let’s face it… The media will do anything to prop up this unpopular far left president.
Mediaite reported, via Free Republic:
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.
Of course, there are others who have an entirely different view of Obama.
And they even have Muslim leaders who back them up.

It’s things like this that encourage me that the Left simply will NOT get it until it is too late and they are wiped out politically in 2012.
Get ready for 16 years of Conservative Government Rule, especially if Perry picks Rubio as his VP.
AuntieMadder commented:
Well, sure, Barky’s the first Jewish POTUS…if the first Jewish POTUS is of the self-loathing, Jewicidal type who’ll suck up to the enemies of Israel (read: Muslims, lefturds, Alex Jonesers/Ron Paulians) and other anti-Semites (read: Muslims, lefturds, Alex Jonesers/Ron Paulians) for nothing. When he receives financial benefit from it, that’s even sweeter. (Think: Mayor Dhimmi Bloomberg of New York City, for example.)

Mikva was nominated by President Jimmy Carter to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Despite opposition from anti-gun control interests
Sickofobama commented:
They have it wrong.
He is the worst POTUS and 2nd modern day Jew-hating POTUS.
Bunni commented:
This is the MOST ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen! Talk about LIES!
If I was Jewish, I’d be HIGHLY insulted. Heck, I’m not even Jewish and I’m VERY insulted.
How low can the msm go to prop up this ENEMY of Israel, USA, and every other freedom loving Country? I think I’m gonna go puke now, this is sickening.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Is this the same NYT that called Lyndon LaRouche a rightwinger?
Oh wait, this is the New York POST.
Is there something in the water in NYC that causes reporters to lie like rugs?
They seem to be getting quite, ah, overt with the lying lately.
Patty commented:
he is one of the men who guided barack to where he is now.
obama is assembling nothing but finest to help him and us get to where we need to be.

also, went to university of Chicago…Mikva attended the University of Chicago Law School, from which he graduated in 1951. After graduation, he clerked for Supreme Court Justice Sherman Minton, but his early interest in Chicago clearly was politics:
Patty commented:
The whole thing is to win Jewish Voters back into Obama’s corner.
daryl commented:
I don’t think the Jews, Christians or moslems claim him.
And if, as the article claims “he’s the best thing Israel has going for it”, it’s in a heap of s**t. He’s damned sure NOT the best thing for the U.S, Israel or any other country no matter the angle you look at him.
Now a little rewording…. Obama is the thing we’d BEST have GOING, and “HE IS GOING[out of office]“, come next election, then I agree 100%.
rbosque commented:
If he’s Jewish, then why does he observe Ramadan?

Remember, folks: in Orwell’s 1984, the now-famed “Big Brother” wasn’t just, as is common parlance regarding it now, “watching you”.
“Big Brother” was TELLING YOU LIES.
Over, and over, and over, and over, ad infinitum. On a giant, ubiquitous television screen.
And, in all the print media, the industry for which the main character worked, for long hours, censoring the “news”.
Orwell’s masterpiece should be added to the Holy Canon of Scripture for it’s accuracy in prophecy.
The big-a$$ television is the Altar in most homes in America, shouting lies all day long.
And everyone wants a bigger one.
Highlander commented:
“… 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.”
And the proper angle, no doubt, is with one’s head up one’s ass.
valerie commented:
You have to realize that a lot of talking heads that Jews listen to, like Abner Mikva, above, endorsed him in the most glowing terms. People voted, based on those recommendations.
Finncrisp commented:
Rosh Hashanna is later this month; will Barry have a dinner at the White House to celebrate like he does at Ramadan? The only thing consistent about Barry is his steadfast support for all positions Moslem.
Patty commented:

This is Abner Mikva

The finest people to help him get where he needs to be:
Sounds like Wright, Ayers, Khalidi, and Mikva all Chicago Thugs. They trained Obama? Mikva was nominated by Carter. And the New York Mag. is serious about this?
Ask the Jewish People and this comment President Obama is the “best thing Israel has going for it right now” I think N.Y. magazine needs to interview someone who rebuts this article. Will they? Doubtful
Patty commented:
With a friend like Obama, you don’t need enemies.
Patty commented:
John Heilemann is confident his book about the 2008 presidential campaign, ” Game Change,” is as factually accurate as you can imagine.
Ron commented:
That’s news to me; Obama is now jewish. The New York Times has got some brass juevos I tell ya. What number of jews reads or subscribes TNYT I wonder. In other news today: Romney just got endorsed by another flake. That’s makes two.
greenfairie commented:
The next thing you know, Obama will be chowing down on corned beef sandwiches and matzoh ball soup.

Apart from this being an insult to Bibi, this is an insult to the readers of New York magazine! He is apparently expecting even some of them to believe this nonsense!

Obama is “jewish” like Soros is “jewish”, that is to say, paid to betray “his own kind” and does so with no compunction.
Austen’s definition of a villain: “One who gets what he wants at no cost to himself, but at great cost to others.
QED, if Obama is a Jew, he is a villainous one.

New York Magazine’s John Heilemann on Friday said the Republican presidential field is the weakest anybody has seen in our lifetime.
This absurd statement was made on the syndicated “Chris Matthews Show” in a segment about which GOPers will be throwing their name into the ring in the coming months before next year’s elections (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Sorry; meant NY Magazine.

Heilemann is definitely part of the Obama Campaign and the N.Y. Magazine will be more than happy to published anything pro Obama.
Voters! this is who they are catering to and more Heilmann and other liberals like him get the word out, right or wrong the more they hope to sway the Jewish vote. People believe this garbage.
Patty commented:
ron,
the ny slimes is just as liberal as the ny mag. So, no problem. LOL
Alana commented:
What an hilarious picture! It looks every bit like a cover of Mad Magazine!
Adirondack Patriot commented:
Obama loves Jews, so long as they A) don’t live in Israel and b) act like good little Democrats who “don’t make trouble.”
Redwine commented:
This article is horrifically insulting from every single angle! This pandering to Jews in the name of this vile pro-Islamist, anti-Israel POS Barrack Hussein posing as POTUS needs to be publicly repudiated.
I am assuming that this disgusting and irresponsible leftist rag needs to up its failing readership, just like the NYT. They are both circling the drain. I hope Jews will help by making the final flush.

The debate intensifies around Obama’s treatment of Israel. Today, the Emergency Committee for Israel goes behind enemy lines, running a full page advertisement in the New York Times that explains to President Obama what he should do if he wants to stand with Israel this week at the United Nations.
On the other side of the debate, New York magazine has a pathetic cover story by John Heilemann, titled “‘The First Jewish President:’ The truth? Barack Obama is the best friend Israel has right now.” How credulous an Obama apologist do you have to be to believe that? It’s one thing to argue what the Obama administration has itself argued when it’s being candid—that it’s correcting a pro-Israel tilt of previous administrations. It’s another to pretend Obama is Israel’s BFF.
Here’s one example of Obama as great friend of Israel:

John Fembup commented:
I guess this was second prize. The role of first black president was taken.
(The first black president was Bill Clinton–thanks to Toni Morrison back in the 1990′s.)
American Woman commented:
If you believe that Obama is a Jew than you must believe that New York Magazine is part of a fourth estate that disseminates the truth for the public good, through fair and balanced reporting. In other words, you have to be a fool.
I am sick of the Orwellian propaganda that pushes the Progressive Marxist in the WH. People who write this stuff are trying to destroy us.
Patty commented:
During Obama’s transition, the Israelis and the Palestinians had been at war in Gaza. So Mitchell began traveling in the region, searching for a series of measures that might change the climate sufficiently to get the two sides talking again. What he heard uniformly from the Arab states was that a halt to the construction of Israeli settlements was key. “The idea came from the Palestinians first and the rest of the Arabs second—and I mean all of them,” says Jonathan Prince, a senior State Department aide who worked with Mitchell. “We were told it was the only way to give the Palestinians political cover to get them back to the negotiating table.”
And that clever ploy has really worked out well!
One good thing about the article: It features images from the Emergency Committee for Israel’s ad campaign.

That proper angle must include having one’s head completely up one’s ass. Seriously Who TF is this bozo kidding?

Sorry but on another note, gov. of fla. says what ever candidate win in his state will be the next president.
Just heard him say this yesterday. and on the paul winning I saw that at your site. Perry was second. Hummm! I am not a paul supporter, I do know that but still not sure who I support.

A Jew voting for Obama is like a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.
jorgen commented:
He seems rather international:
He was (or was not) born in Kenya.
When young he was schooled as an Indonesian Muslim and visited Pakistan and other Muslim countries.
He was elected because he was Black.
When visiting Muslim countries, he emphasizes he is Hussein and bows deeply.
In Ireland he was of Irish descendence.
Now he is the Jewish President.
What next? The first Chinese President as well?
Patty commented:

I heard that former Democrat mayor of NYC, Ed Koch, who is Jewish, will go to Florida to campaign in the large Jewish communities against Hussein, if he doesn’t completely change his anti-Israel ideology. I guess Koch will need to pack his bags soon.

@ #67 Redwine: Koch also said that he’d not vote at all if the DNC runs Barky. In a way, to not vote for whomever runs against him is a vote for Barky.

There is a LOT more to this…
“Abner Mikva, another communist, has been Obama’s benefactor since Obama graduated from Harvard Law School.
Abner Mikva, a five-term congressman from Illinois who was at that time Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit, tried to recruit Obama as a clerk, a position considered a stepping stone to clerking on the Supreme Court, but Obama turned him down.
In the early 1950′s George Anastaplo a classmate of Mikva’s at the University of Chicago Law School sparked controversy, when he refused to deny Communist Party membership to a Character and Fitness Committee of the Illinois Bar. The Committee investigated and because he had not answered its questions, he was told he could not become a lawyer.
Mikva was one of the first to come to Anastaplo’s aid.”
