Обама назвал себя первым еврейским президентом


Президент США Барак Обама, выступил на встрече в синагоге Адас в Вашингтоне на праздновании месяца еврейского наследия.

Со слов Обамы, еврейские авторитеты, включая журналиста «Атлантика» Джеффри Голдберга, назвали его первым еврейским президентом. Голдберг присутствовал в зале. Обама, кстати, выступал в ермолке.

Обама: «Прежде всего, я хотел бы поблагодарить всех присутствующих в синагоге Адас Израэль за приглашение.
Ранее на этой неделе, я давал интервью одному из ваших членов, Джеффу Голдбергу. Джефф напомнил мне, что когда-то назвал меня первым еврейским президентом. Теперь, когда многие люди интересуются моей верой, я должен сказать, что для меня это почётный титул, я был польщен. И, как почётный представитель народа, как человек, организовавший в Белом Доме уже семь Седер Песахов (семейных трапез на на праздник Пейсах), как человек, у которого в советниках было два начальника штаба еврейской национальности, я немного начал осваивать еврейский жаргон. Но я не стану использовать ни одного из тех словечек на иврите, которым обучил меня Рам Эмануэль (мэр Чикаго), потому что я всё-таки хотел бы, чтобы меня приглашали к вам и в будущем.  Могу только упомянуть, что он использовал несколько креативных версий слова «шалом»». Сынку, тебе мало, что ты негр??
