"Obama: "Take my Jews--Please!"" joke
From AP:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to reassure Jewish voters concerned about his Muslim ties...
Speaking to the National Jewish Democratic Council, the Illinois senator said his experience living in Indonesia [where Jews aren't allowed] for four years as a child and his ability to speak to Muslims could make him a better president.
"If I go to Jakarta and address the largest Muslim country on earth, I can say,'Apa kabar,' -- you know,'How are you doing?' -- and they can recognize that I understand their common humanity," Obama said.
What this reassurance would have sounded like during our previous great war, World War II:
...the Illinois senator said his experience living in Austria for four years as a child and his ability to speak to Austrians could make him a better president.
"If I go to Vienna, I can say,'Heil Hitler,' -- you know,'How are you doing?' -- and they can recognize that I understand their common humanity."
Not enough votes...
