Obama Rushes To Make Israeli Leader Shimon Peres’ Funeral About Himself

Daily Caller:

Ever one to steal the spotlight, President Barack Obama upstaged iconic Israeli leader Shimon Peres at this own funeral Friday.

 

“I could somehow see myself in his story, and he could see himself in mine,” said Obama, speaking on behalf of the deceased leader, who not only helped found the state of Israel, but also served stints as both president and prime minister.

 

Obama noted that Peres reminded him of former South African president Nelson Mandela and the U.K.’s Queen Elizabeth. The president hailed his friendship with the former Israeli leader, who he met with several times during his political career and once awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

 

“He knew better than the cynic that if you look at the arc of history, human beings should be filled not with fear but with hope,” said Obama.
