Bill Maher: 'Obama is a Terrible Negotiator - Does He Not Even Know a Jew?'
HBO's Bill Maher is very unhappy with how President Obama is dealing with Republicans on the current budget impasse.
On Friday's "Real Time," the host said, "He is a terrible negotiator - does he not even know a Jew?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
BILL MAHER: Obama said this week, I heard him a couple of times saying, “You know what? We met the Republicans what they asked, and then we gave them more.” That’s like your lawyer saying to you, “You know, I went into the chambers with the judge and the prosecutor, and my first offer was 40 years to life for you. And I think I can get your tailgating charge moved up to manslaughter. And that’s my first offer.” What is wrong with these people? He is a terrible negotiator. Does he not even know a Jew?
Moments later, in a sketch about shows that could replace the exiting Glenn Beck on Fox News, Maher suggested Joe Lieberman do a program called, "Morning Jew."
Hmmm.

half Jewish (his mother is Jewish), and he has self-identified himself as such. That said, he has more than once made stereotypical and disparaging comments about Jews from time to time, and he's done it again here...Why, I'll never know. I suppose he thinks he's being funny...Jacka$$.
Maher's dad was Irish Catholic and that's how he was raised until his teens, when he and his family apparently stopped going to church. Maher has said that his mixed religious background was an issue for him growing up, and has been one of the reasons why he has the negative attitude that he has concerning faith and religion...Whatever...I really don't care why he feels the way he does about religion or about his being Jewish or Catholic. Maher is a loathesome person, who for whatever reason seems to hate the part of himself that is (or was) Jewish and Catholic, and that warped attitude influences how he speaks about people who do have a faith...Pretty sad, really.

Obama's collection of Jewish supporters is dwindling as they discover how much disdain he has for them.
And yet...

Who apparantly is anti-religion and now insults anyone who either has a trait associated with one, or believes in something of one, namely a God! But dork Maher wont ever insult islamic terrorists, God forbid! What a tool!

38.5B DEAL! Boehner big ZERO negotiator!
Submitted by MaximusBraveheart on Sat, 04/09/2011 - 9:31am.
What a SHAM 38.5B! Levin last night was guessing lame Boehner sold out long ago & this looked likely. Sure enough! Why not start w/$200B & "settle" for $100B? Why say long ago no shut down? Why play lame while they throw all these false charges to the press? Boehner didn't say squat. He did not "Trump" them good when he could have. It was Obama selling out the soldiers because free abortions were more important than them! Welfare checks would have been cut but not MIL. Simply CRAZY! So EAAASY to win on! Obama did not need Congress to pay the military as Reagan & Clinton both paid the MIL during shut downs w/o Congress. Now ObamaCare is paid the rest of the year & NPR & Planned Parenthood! Throw RINOs out! Fight man fight! It is for the survival of our Country!
All I can say is they PROVED Obama & his view of the MIL. They should use this to the full extent vs. playing possum w/ our Country. Total BS the RNC! Give money directly to TEA party supporters.

Maher is delightful as always. Imagine the outcry if a conservative had made a stereotypical comment about a Muslim

I hate the word "Jew". It seems to always be used in a pejorative hostile fashion. It has become the "N" word relating to Jewish people. Let's hope Maher gets the "Rick Sanchez" treatment eventually.
yeah but...

...it was also pretty funny. and I'm Jewish, so I can laugh at it and not feel guilty.
but to answer to your question, Bill: no, Obama doesn't really know many Jews. he doesn't seem to care for "my people" to borrow a phrase from Eric Holder.
that's hillarious

Bill Maher should be nervous about Obama's short comings.

People who make deals and bargin do not start fights they cannot win nearly as often as the people who originate from the smash and grab school of business. The Secured Bond holders of the automobile manufactures can tell you what school Obama is from.
You know that he would have been working for the Nazi's

The only thing they have left is to scream louder and say things that are even more ridiculous. They have no facts or values to discuss.
