    The full readout (here) is somehow even worse:

    Q Did you threaten to stop military aid to Israel, Mr. President?

    THE PRESIDENT: Pardon me?

    Q Did you threaten to stop military aid to Israel?

    THE PRESIDENT: I asked them to do what they’re doing.

    (Cross-talk.)

    Q Are you abandoning Israel?

    THE PRESIDENT: Where you from, man?

    Q Are you abandoning Israel?

    THE PRESIDENT: Is that a serious question?
