Obama: 'I'm Really a Space Cadet when it Comes to the Mideast'

Obama: 'I'm Really a Space Cadet when it Comes to the Mideast'

by Gil Ronen

(IsraelNN.com) United States President Barack Obama admitted, in a special Purim interview for Arutz Sheva, that he “frankly does not have a clue” regarding the psychology of the Middle East and that “a three year old child with some experience in nursery-school power politics could probably understand the Middle East better than [he does].”

"I really am a space cadet when it comes to Middle East," he said.

His mood swung from low to high and back again as he sipped occasionally from the Purim wine that the Arutz Sheva team had brought him. To our surprise, Obama chugged away at the bottle, finishing it before the interview was halfway through and asking for seconds. His mood from that point onward could best be described as “drunkenly sober” – until the end of the interview, when matters took a surprising turn.

ARUTZ SHEVA: Mr. President, as the Jewish people celebrate Purim, we remember our struggle with an evil Persian official named Haman, and look with foreboding at a new Iranian regime that threatens us with destruction too. Can you promise us that the US intends to apply biting sanctions against Iran before it is too late?

PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA: First of all let me say that I am very much in favor of sanctions that bite. As a matter of fact, I think all sanctions bite. They really do. Sanctions are out! Any form of punitive action against a Muslim country is really counterproductive because Islam is a religion of peace and the US is after all a colonialist power. I was just talking to some old madarassah buddies of mine from Indonesia about this on Facebook.

Suddenly beaming, Obama waves at the camera and exclaims: “Hi Bilal and Japoor! Hope you are watching!”  He fondles his wine glass pensively and continues.

BHO: Having said that – we have no intention of abandoning Israel to the wolves, so to speak. I have said before and I will say it again: the United States will not stand idly by as Israel is turned into a radioactive parking lot. If and when Iran uses nuclear weapons against Israel, and if we see that there is serious fallout and hundreds of thousands of people die horrible deaths – we will apply sanctions against the Revolutionary Guards.

AS: What kind of sanctions?

BHO: We have already drawn up a plan for barring the families of Iranian Revolutionary Guardsmen from Disney World and Disney Land. We will not let them in, clear and simple.

AS: What if they cry?   (continue reading, hat tip Marcus Wilder)

I hope everybody reads through to the explanation at the bottom of the article and knows this is a big joke. :o))

Cute satire. I think that Obama only knows one side of the Arab-Israeli conflict and we all know which side that is. By the time Obama was in college, assuming he went most professors were not friendly toward Israel and their lectures reflected that bias and I sure from what we know about Barack that he selected such types to be his instructors. So as I said I doubt he understands the Israeli position and is coming at this conflict from the arab point of view---of course we can't over look his muslim background.

That is some great writing, I love it.

Behind all humor is some truth...

LOL

Nice one, but it's really satire isn't it.

[Skunkfeathers]

Funny thing is, this "satire" is closer to how Barry really feels, than not. He really IS clueless.

Yes, it's really satire, but probably too close for comfort for Barry.
