Obama: Israelis suspicious of me because my middle name is Hussein

U.S. president tells Channel 2 Israel is unlikely to attack Iran without coordinating with the U.S.

U.S. President Barack Obama told Channel 2 News on Wednesday that he believed Israel would not try to surprise the U.S. with a unilateral attack on Iran.

In an interview aired Thursday evening, Obama was asked whether he was concerned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would try to attack Iran without clearing the move with the U.S., to which the president replied "I think the relationship between Israel and the U.S. is sufficiently strong that neither of us try to surprise each other, but we try to coordinate on issues of mutual concern."

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.

Hey Hussein, actions speak louder than words, and your name is just a word. It's your actions of overtly snubbing Israel, and constantly reaching out to their enemies that make them suspicious.

As for your outreach to the Muslim community, you keep extending a hand, and they keep slapping you in the face.

Can this moron be any more childish?  Sounds like the idiot is projecting his own paranoid shallow view of the world.   Uh stupid, I think the Israelis are intelligent enough not to judge someone by their name!  It's your ACTIONS that they're suspicious of.  And I seriously don't think Israel gives a rat's patootie what Obama thinks regarding Iran.  Isreal, as they did in the Six-Day War, will preemptively protect themselves if they deem they're imminently under attack.   And right on!

It might have been Jews that helped get him into the Senate.....but his treatment of Israel and his fawning ass-kissing of the Muslims, since he's been president is going to make every one of those Jews vote for someone else at the next election.
