Obama to Jews--screw you: In stark contrast to his warm and fuzzy/deferential approach to Muslims and Japanese Emperors, witness Barack Obama’s cold and disdainful treatment of Jews, as described by Caroline Glick (h/t TS):

Once again, US President Barack Obama has demonstrated his intention of "putting light" between America and Israel. His hostility towards Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during the latter's visit to Washington this week was breathtaking.

It isn't every day that you can see an American President leaving the Prime Minister of an allied government twisting in the wind for weeks before deciding to grant him an audience at the White House.

It isn't every day that a visiting leader from a strategically vital US ally is brought into the White House in an unmarked van in the middle of the night rather than greeted like a friend at the front door; is forbidden to have his picture taken with the President; is forced to leave the White House alone, through a side exit; and is ordered to keep the contents of his meeting with the President secret.

Ahead of Obama's meeting with Netanyahu, the Wall Street Journal reported that Obama was effectively attempting to blackmail the Israeli premier by conditioning the meeting on Netanyahu's willingness to make tangible concessions to the Palestinians during his speech before the General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America.

Although the report was denied by the Obama administration, if it was true, such a move by the White House would be without precedent in the history of US relations with Israel. And if untrue, the very fact that the story rings true is indicative of the wretched state of US relations with Israel since Obama entered office.

Obama's hostility was evident as well during his meeting with fifty Jewish leaders at the White House this week. In an obvious bid to split American Jewry away from Israel, Obama refused to discuss Israel or Iran with the concerned American Jewish leaders. As far as Obama was concerned, all they deserved from him was a primer on the brilliance of his economic policies and the worthiness of his plan to socialize the American healthcare industry. His foreign policy is none of their business…

But guess what? The Jews (the stupey-dupes) are still going to vote for him.

Update: Song for a bower:

Unpack his humility,

Bowing down, gingerly.

Bow, Obama.

Genuflects to Saudi’s King.

Deference is his thing.

Bow, Obama.

Hope ‘n’ change is what he’s recommending.

Puffed-up potentates he’s been defending.

'Cause sucking up is on his list

‘Cept if you’re Zionist.

‘Bama bow down,
