Ace of Spades noticed this convenient rationalization:
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.”
Maybe that also explains why 55% of voters say Obama is a socialist. Because there are so many socialists named “Hussein.”
Before anyone says “well, all *you* people got into a fuss about his name” let me say that no, not all of us did. Most of us, and probably everyone who comments here, worried about his lack of experience, radical background and policies.
Israelis have every right to be leery of Obama based on his actions. And the POTUS himself just comes across as a supercilious jerk.

I think he misheard their comments. I think they were saying that they were suspicious because he was “insane”.

It’s really just a failure of imagination. While most Jews in the U.S. are on the political left, Israelis are divided between right and left. Obama makes the right anxious, the Israeli right included. Is that so hard to understand?

Yea Barry, those Jews huh, they’re sneaky hook-nosed kafirs and naturally that makes them suspicious, eh?

Well, gg, that just means that liberal and socialist, at least for now, are synonymous. But you can call James Carville ridiculous if you want. Oh, wait, isn’t he on your side?

Comrade Obama is showing why he needed so much help from affirmative action – he is none too bright.
Israel signed a major peace treaty with which neighboring Arab head of state? King who, again?
Yup, them Joos be real skeered of the name, “Hussein,” ain’t they?
Moron.

About the Israelis suspicions, you just proved with your own words the President’s point to be ridiculous. He assumes it’s because of his middle name (which cannot be spoken aloud, raaaaacist). You assert it’s us wingnuts talking him down.
Of course, it couldn’t be HIS actions (and inactions) that cause that, no. He’s SAID he’s all for Israel. They should just shut up and give Hamas what it wants. Because that’ll stop the rockets and the human shields. Israel needs to just stop, right?

They are synonymous for Tea Partiers and most republicans and conservatives. but not the case with “liberals” and most democrats.
So, tell us “Tea Partiers and most republicans and conservatives” what the difference is. You know, for our education. We’re curious, is it a difference in philosophy, or merely degree?
Ooh, tell us more. What’s the dynamic there? They want Obama to fail so they can take over? She works for him, right? Don’t they fundamentally agree on most things?

No, just your reading comprehension problem. Let me step you through this:
1. Obama said “some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein…”
2. qq said “Before anyone says “well, all *you* people…”
Do I need to go on? qq was clearly addressing *us*, not Obama. So quit with the cheap theatrics, you haven’t won any debate points.
On that we can agree. But when push comes to shove, is he a Democrat, a liberal , or a socialist?

Um, gg, no you are not, you are defending an indefensible position. What other factors did Obama state why they might be suspicious of him?
qq wasn’t portraying a strawman. He was trying, futilely apparently, to inoculate against a reductio ad absurdum. Which, of course you couldn’t resist reducing yourself into absurdity.

Why? Explain the nuance, and the intelligence to us “wingnuts” so that we may be able to understand.

Clearly the strawman in the debate was slain by Obama himself. He always claims that “some” will do some horrible thing; that “most” people are massively misinformed about his policies, though he never corrects that “misinformation” with facts, just more spin. It is his defensive method of debate where, alone on the stage, he finds enemies and diabolical plotters behind every bush. (no pun intended) He is either highly paranoid, or the most devastating force to ever descend upon the men of straw. I choose the latter.

Maybe the Israelis are concerned that Obama has cancelled their orders for military hardware like attack helicopters. Maybe it is the way Obama instinctively sides with Hamas and Iran; the way he spoke out against Israel’s response to the blockade runners. Obama did not ask Egypt or Jordan to lift their blockades; he completely blamed the Jews in spite of knowing the aid ships could have gone to the Israeli docks and off loaded and Israel would have trucked in all the aid that doesn’t blow up. But no, Obama blamed the Jews for the attackers running the blockade. Yeah, Maybe the Jews are leery of him because he has demostrated many times this year that he is no friend of Israel.
