Obama: Israelis Don't Trust Me Because of My Middle Name

Stephen Gutowski | July 8, 2010

During an interview with an Israeli news channel President Obama tried to figure out exactly why Israelis don't like him. His best guess? The fact that his middle name is Hussein:

Gee. I think he got closer with the second half of his musings... I think Israelis distrust Obama because he is openly hostile to them and their leaders. Oh and they might also find Obama's cozy approach toward Iran a bit troubling.

But, no, never mind, it's definitely the whole middle name thing.
