Leftists had No problem with a picture of a smiling Obama with Luis “Hitler is a great man” Farrakhan, but they knew Americans would have a problem with it, so they, along with Muslims, hid it for 10 years. Again: Americans-not leftists & Muslims-would have had a problem with it. pic.twitter.com/jodFRqpJ5r

The Obama-Farrakhan photo has gone viral. But Obama showed up to gaslight his lefty Jewish fanbase by claiming that he's practically a "liberal Jew".
Former President Barack Obama gave an address to a packed synagogue in New York City on Wednesday.
Tickets for the event, which went on sale for $225 each in September, sold out within an hour.
Obama also told the crowd that he would joke with his staff that he was ‘basically a liberal Jew.’
And don't all liberal Jews pose with a racist who once declared, "The Jews talk about "never again."… You cannot say "Never again" to God because when he puts you in the oven, you're in one indeed!"
Here are some of the liberal views of the anti-Semite he was caught palling around with.
Farrakhan: Is the Federal Reserve owned by the government?
Audience: No.
Farrakhan: Who owns the Federal Reserve?
Audience: Jews.
Farrakhan: The same year they set up the IRS, they set up the FBI.
But Obama has a long history of claiming to be Jewish. And every other identity.
At the last White House Chanukah dinner, he claimed to have a Jewish soul. At a synagogue speech last month, he called himself “an honorary member of the tribe”. Now his former senior advisor has quoted him as saying, “I think I am the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in this office.”
Of course Barack Obama has also been Irish. He stated, “I consider myself an honorary Italian, because I love all things Italian”. Newsweek dubbed him “The First Woman President” in 2008 for “bending gender conventions” and promoted him to “The First Gay President” four years later. Cabinet Secretary Lu and Congressman Honda argued that he was “The First Asian American President”.
New York Magazine put Obama on the cover under a photoshopped Kippah as “The First Jewish President” and whined inside that, “Barack Obama is the best thing Israel has going for it right now. Why is that so difficult for Netanyahu and his American Jewish allies to understand?”
It might be the Farrakhan that's confusing us. Or sending billions to an Islamic terror state that vowed to stage a second Holocaust while protecting its nuclear program by spying on Israel.
But... let Barry explain.
The former president also defended his decision not to veto a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlement construction just before he left office last year.
Obama said he allowed the resolution to go forward because ‘the pace of [Israeli] settlement construction skyrocketed making it almost impossible to make any kind of Palestinian state.
‘Voting against the resolution would have damaged our credibility on affirming human rights only when it's convenient not when it has to do with ourselves and our friends,’ Obama said.
He warned that Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip were ‘unsustainable,’ which prompted applause from the audience.
Obama said that domestic politics in this country makes it hard to speak truths about Israel.
‘To be a true friend of Israel it is important to be honest about it, and the politics of this country sometimes do not allow for it,’ Obama said.
Nor do they allow posing with anti-Semites.
But Obama had to back an anti-Israel resolution (despite his claims, he actually orchestrated it) to protect America's credibility on human rights. And he had to sell out the Iranian democracy protesters to protect that same credibility. He had to back the Muslim Brotherhood church burners in Egypt to protect that credibility. And he had pose smiling with Farrakhan for that same credibility.
Either he's a "liberal Jew" or he hates America and Jews.
