President Obama calls the head of the CIA and asks, “How come the Jews know everything before we do?”
The CIA chief says, “The Jews have this expression, ‘Vus titzuch?’”
The President asks, “What’s that mean?”
“Well, Mr. President,” replies the CIA chief, “it’s a Yiddish expression which roughly translates to ‘what’s happening?’ They just ask each other, and they know everything.”
The President decides to go undercover to determine if this is true.
He gets dressed up as an Orthodox Jew and is secretly flown in an unmarked plane to New York. He is picked up in an unmarked car and dropped off in Brooklyn’s most Orthodox neighborhood.
Soon, a little old man comes shuffling along.
The President stops him and whispers, “Vus titzuch?”
The old guy whispers back, “Obama's in Brooklyn!”
