Barack Obama has entered from stage left to instruct American Jews to return to the Democratic fold in their usual numbers. The video below captures him in Milwaukee this weekend retailing the “very fine people” lie. The high-handed arrogance of this riff is incredible.

Obama of course seeks something like a fourth term with the election of Kamala Harris. Michael Lind writes about the project in “The Obama machine.” Subhead: “No matter who wins or loses next week, we can look forward to four more years of Chicago on the Potomac.” Lind’s column makes a valuable contribution to understanding the project.

When Jews suffered the worst massacre since the Holocaust, Obama offered his own analysis in the Medium essay “Thoughts on Israel and Gaza.” Obama found it a fit occasion on which to review the case for the two-state final solution. He doesn’t have much to say about Hamas or their friends in Iran. Indeed, Iran goes unmentioned.

Obama wants us to drink deeply from the waters of Lethe to forget his hostility to Israel and his nascent alliance with Iran (with respect to which see Michael Doran’s classic essay “Obama’s secret Iran strategy”). Obama sought to enhance and strengthen the genocidal Iranian regime. His efforts went far beyond “appeasement.”

Whatever his flaws, Neville Chamberlain never helped fund the Nazis. Obama entered into a pact with the mullahs that both protected their nuclear program and provided funds to accelerate it. The funds also helped finance the regime’s efforts to exterminate the Jewish people across a wide array of programs and organizations. Trump sought to do the opposite. Obama, of course, lied about it all along the way.

Obama accuses Trump of hanging out with a bad crowd. David Bernstein reminds us that Obama excelled in this department as well. He takes the cake.

Researching Rising Star, his astounding biography of Obama’s pre-presidential years, David Garrow discovered Obama’s most intense romantic relationship before he met Michelle. I wouldn’t want to omit David Samuels’ reading of Obama’s breakup with the girlfriend — Professor Sheila Miyoshi Jager — in the Tablet column “The Obama factor.”

Obama is of course an alumnus of Columbia University. Has he had anything to say about the eruption of anti-Semitism on campus? About the support for Hamas at his alma mater and wherever progressives gather? Perhaps we shall overcome. If so, we will have to overcome Obama himself.
