Taking apart another Obama lie

Paul of Powerline writes:

President Obama has suggested that the distrust Israelis feel towards him is due in part to his middle name. Obama said that “some of [the anxiety] may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion.”

Obama overlooks the fact that, prior to Obama’s first meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, only 14 percent of Israelis considered him more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israeli. After that meeting, and when Obama insisted that Israel not engage in even “natural growth” construction in its established settlements, the number jumped to 55 percent.

What was Obama’s middle name in May 2009, Shlomo?

One thing you can absolutely count on with nonwhite liberals: they never think that they are being critically judged for the content of their character or of their actions. They always think that they are being critically judged for the color of their skin, or, as in this case, for the ethnicity of their name.
