Obama meets with Netanyahu at the White House on July 6, 2010.
In a wide-ranging interview with Israeli television Channel 2, US President Barack Obama said that many Israelis are suspicious of him because his middle name is Hussein.
When Yonit Levy brought up the anxiety that some Israelis feel about him, Obama replied, “some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion.”
The American president continued with his very interesting response.
“Ironically, I’ve got a Chief of Staff named Rahm Israel Emmanuel. My top political advisor is somebody who is a descendant of Holocaust survivors,” Obama explained.
“My closeness to the Jewish American community was probably what propelled me to the U.S. Senate,” Obama said.
Obama also defended his outreach to Muslim nations.
“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 said.
The interview was given after a July 6 meeting between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Obama also ruled out the possibility of Israel attacking Iran unilaterally, and predicted an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement could be reached by the end of his term.

I don't like him 'cause he's a (censored)
This "foreign occupier" is from Kenya not America. We all knew that. The only reason he got in to the White House is because black people wanted to see a black man as president. They don't care about the fact that he was not born in this country. They just want to get there way. But it that is not happening is it ? Just take a look at his moronic health care bill. He is screwing this entire nation. And yes, that includes the black person.

Like people have been saying for a Looooooooooooooooooooooooooong time america is run by the zionists, if you doubt this, look who are the major and i mean major share holders in the largest investment houses, banks, Corporations, military suppliers, medical industry etc
Dont be ignorant WW1 & 2 was to give these people a home, obama is there as a guise for the muslims to trust a blackish muslim arab speaking American while the Zionists can continue with their agenda, America is a recipe for disaster
Had Obama been even an adequate president, we would have seen more harmony between races, but it didn’t turn out that way. We can’t ignore the fact that the man touted as the historic First Black President is not only the worst president ever, but hateful, destructive, and anti-American. The KKK and white supremacists must be laughing to themselves, and saying that they are being proven right.
Race relations are probably about the same as they were just after the Civil War. It will probably be another century until we get over this.
Netanyahu: Israelis wary of my middle name too, BIBI.
