Mostly in private, there are moments when our president is such a complete jerk, I half-jokingly call him President Asshole. I think the first time I did was when he compared his bowling skills to that of someone in the special Olympics. Seriously, for the most powerful man in the world to compare to make fun of some of the weakest? That is a straight up asshole move. Presuming to dress down the Supreme Court in the middle of the State of the Union? Another straight up asshole move. Giving the finger to people when he thinks he is being sly? Big time asshole.
And now after treating Israel like a red-headed stepchild for months, he then has the nerve to suggest that the reason for the deterioration in their relationship is bigotry:
[W]hen 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."
(Source.) Yeah, I know we have to show respect for the office, but seriously, what an asshole. And I am really starting to think this guy is a bit of a bigot, too. I find that incredible if only because it is almost certainly a hypocritical bigotry, but I am starting to suspect it is true. Weirder things have happened, especially in politics.
Of course he can’t possibly be an anti-Semitic, because some of his best friends are Jews. Yes, really.
