Obama on "Polish" death camps and Judaism

I suppose I have to post something about the Jew-News out of the White House yesterday, even though I'd prefer to ignore such gross indignities altogether. 

For posterity, then, here's Adam Kredo at the Washington Free Beacon:

President Barack Obama’s inaccurate assertion that Nazi extermination camps in occupied Poland were in fact “Polish” has led to concern among historians and foreign policy that the president’s knowledge of Jewish history and Israel is lacking.

During a ceremony honoring a Polish resistance fighter who told the world about Nazi atrocities, Obama referred to a “Polish death camp,” a term that incorrectly blames Poland for operating Adolf Hitler’s extermination camps.

Obama’s flub came just hours after the president informed a group of Jewish leaders that he “probably knows about Judaism more than any other president because he read about it.”

However, over the course of his presidency, Obama has repeatedly promulgated erroneous notions about the Jewish state and made policy declarations that experts deem either patently false or grossly misleading...

 

What follows is an extensive list, in case anyone wants to mosey on down Memory Lane with Kredo. For me, it's altogether too dark. And the sooner we can put it well behind us, the better.

As I recall from my history teachers, both John Adams and James Madison actually spoke and read Hebrew. In fact, President Adams translated the old testament from Hebrew to English. Somehow, I question Obama's assertion that he knows more about Judaism than any other President. Unless, of course, he was referring to what he learned while a student in Muslim Indonesia. I'm sure that what they taught him was accurate, and informative.
