Comic rips Obama for Judaism remark

Classic comedian Jackie Mason ripped President Obama’s reported remarks that he “probably knows about Judaism more than any other president, because he read about it.”

Obama reportedly made the statement in a meeting last week with about 20 conservative Jewish community leaders.

Mason, who bills himself as the “Ultimate Jew,” sounded off about Obama’s Judaism claim in an interview today on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s WABC Radio.

Stated Mason: “Let’s say I know more about murderers than anybody in the world. Does that make me sympathetic to murderers because I know more about them than anybody else?

“If you live in New York, you know more about muggers and killers and degenerates and pimps at hookers,” Mason continued. “Does that mean that you are on their side just because you know about it?”

Mason asserted “What he knows about Judaism means nothing compared to what he feels about Judaism. That’s the question. I might know a lot about pastrami. That doesn’t mean that I have the right to neglect the fact that it’s bad for you.”

The funny man also took aim at Obama’s Christianity during the segment with Klein, speaking tongue-in-cheek: “And he also knows more about the Palestinians than the Jews. Because everybody knows he was raised as a Muslim and his conversion to Christianity was a very slow process. It was only when he started thinking about the political career he might have in America and he was thinking about his future that he became more and more of a Christian. As he found out a job was opening in Chicago, he became more of a Christian. And when a job was opening in the United States Senate, he became a complete Christian, and now he is the most devoted Christian of all time.”

Since before he was elected, I have had that lack of trust feeling about him. Read something this morning about his warmongering. Will try to find it.

And I just love Jackie! He's brilliant!

How anti-war Obama has become Lord High Executioner

They call them the ‘Terror Tuesday’ meetings. Held in the Situation Room in the bowels of the White House, they are chaired by President Barack Obama and include up to two dozen intelligence and counter-terrorism officials.

Their purpose is to consider which of America’s enemies should be placed on the White House’s ‘kill list’.

After viewing what officials jocularly call ‘baseball cards’, which contain terror suspects’ biographies, the pros and cons of their continued existence on earth are debated.

Like a latter-day Roman emperor sitting in life-or-death judgment on his gladiators, Obama then pronounces on the fate of each suspect.

Those receiving the metaphorical thumbs-down are condemned to be blown to pieces in some distant, dusty corner of Pakistan, Somalia or Yemen by a Hellfire missile or GBU-12 smart bomb launched from a CIA Reaper drone and controlled thousands of miles away back in the U.S.

Indeed, Predator and Reaper drones have revolutionised the terms of military combat — leaving the enemy with almost nowhere to hide. A single USAF pilot stationed in Nevada can drive home and sit down for supper with his family just a few hours after killing dozens of people in Pakistan by using a remote-control aircraft.

The way drones work is that a team based at the ground control station in America sends commands via a fibre-optic link to a satellite relay station, which relays the information to the unmanned Reaper drone, which fires Hellfire missiles at the target.

Appropriately, the discussions about whether to launch such attacks are couched in Orwellian terms. There are ‘personality’ strikes — aimed at ‘high-value targets’, such as top Al Qaeda leaders — and ‘signature strikes’ against militant training camps or compounds.

A new category is TADS — Terrorist Attack Disruption Strikes —designed to snuff out a direct threat to the American homeland.

On Monday, Libyan cleric Abu Yahya Al Libi, Al Qaeda’s second-in-command, was killed when missiles from a CIA drone hit his compound in Waziristan, north-west Pakistan.

It is the ninth such attack in two weeks as the U.S. has stepped up its campaign to combat Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters who use the country as a base for attacks against American and Nato forces in Afghanistan.

Pakistanis, most of whom view the U.S. with deep mistrust, consider the drone strikes to be an affront to their nation’s sovereignty. As a result, this backlash in the nuclear power against the U.S. drone war has intensified dangerously.

Drones strikes were first used by the Americans in 2004, but President George W. Bush was sparing with them. In five years, he authorised only 44 attacks. By the time Obama was into his third year in office, though, he had signed off on more than five times that number.

Suddenly Obama is being depicted as a steely-eyed purveyor of death. This image was reinforced by an exhaustive 6,000-word article in the New York Times, quoting senior White House officials.

The piece was clearly authorised by the White House in the hope of increasing his re-election chances

This followed the Obama campaign’s ham-fisted attempt to use the anniversary of Osama Bin Laden’s death to trumpet the President’s ‘gutsy call’ in ordering the terror leader’s killing.

But this backfired because most Americans give the credit to the U.S. Navy Seals who carried out the raid.

Undeterred, Obama’s advisers calculated Americans would like to see their commander-in-chief acting as a Lord High Executioner — though it was stressed he had also studied the works of St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas about moral wars.
