turkey president receo tayyip erdogan talking with reporter my remarks at the forum were taken out of context so you dont think that zionism is a crime against humanity no i believe it all right then whats the context that id like to keep getting american aid money

After "moderate and progressive" Turkish president Recep Erdogan lumped Zionism together with actual crimes against humanity in a speech last week, he scrambled to clarify himself... and by clarify, I mean "reiterate his opinion while trying to make it not sound as bad as it is".

american us president barack obama leaning out of limousine window say where are all the cheering crowds man on sidewalk holding son boy on shoulders sorry mr president everybodys inside cleaning for pesach

Okay, so the crowds weren't quite as thin as depicted here--but I couldn't help making a joke about the terrible timing. (Seriously, dropping by for a state visit and snarling all the road traffic outside and within the capital at the height of holiday shopping time? Not cool.)
