Obamaweek part III

By: Sonny Bunch

I’m kind of tired of writing about how much Newsweek loves Obama. So I’ll just link to Mark Hemingway’s takedown of their most recent puff piece:

Well, if the Obama campaign says he’ll get Jewish voters, that’s good enough for Newsweek. No need to factcheck. It’s not like Obama lost the Jewish vote by 24 percent to Hillary in the Pennsylvania primary, which has one of the highest concentrations of Jewish voters of any state. (Oh, wait, that did happen. You just won’t read about it in Newsweek this week.)

If the Obama campaign has this willing a patsy in Newsweek, willing to be spoonfed anything the campaign churns out, and this is all they can say to demonstrate he doesn’t have a Jewish problem, Obama must have a really big Jewish problem.

Seriously, this is getting absurd. Who is in charge of things over there? David Axelrod?
