Get Out There and Denounce!

The satirical blogger Jon Swift wades into the Obama-and-the-Jews question:

Obama is going to have to work overtime to deny rumors that he wants to wipe Israel off the map and that he has a secret plan to round up all the Jews and put them in ghettos where black people now live. If Obama would just say, "I do not have any secret plans at the current time to make peace with Iran by driving the Jews out of Israel into the sea or move black people into the homes of Jewish people and move all the Jewish people to Harlem," I think many Jews would be relieved. But so far Obama has not forcefully denied these rumors.

Swift goes on to ask that Barack release his birth certificate so that he can prove that his middle name is in fact "Hussein" and not "Muhammad," which would be brilliant satire if not for the fact that... some people really are trying to do exactly that, and aren't kidding about it.
