He's so evil.

The reason for the event was Hanukkah. I wouldn't term it an "excuse" for a party, but it was why they were celebrating.
What I hear Obama saying was: "We don't need an excuse for a party" which is to say, "We don't need Hanukkah" which is to say, "I really don't like the Jews."

I think he was doing this as an explicit "in your face" moment. Also: light one candle each night, to symbolize the days of the miracle? Scoff! Let's light 'em all at once! Just get it over with! Got more important things to do! When's Eid????

Boy, I hate this guy.

Any Jewish person who sees this photo will be offended. The Shamos (middle candle) must be taller than the rest:

Well, lessee. He’s apparently losing the ‘Jew vote’. *not MY thinking but the strategical, divisive thinking of the DNC*. It’s all about PANDERING.

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-12-08/republicans-seeking-jewish-vote-attack-obama-s-israel-policy.html

Tried that with the ‘blue collar WHITE vote’ as well just recently.

Which is WHY he did THIS:

And send the First (she ain’t no) Lady on THIS mission:

Disgusting, isn’t it?

I’ll tell you.....the ONLY thing that is “transparent” about this administration......is it’s ‘voter blocks for votes’. Plain and simple. And the lemmings just lap it up.

I’m offended on a number of fronts, the most obvious being that this goy is “partying” Chanukah two weeks early. Everything about the schmuck offends me.

A half-hearted attempt to suck up to the jews before Xmas arrives and everybody tunes out, I guess. But as I understand it Jews don’t consider the holiday to be very important and Obama’s remarks once more demonstrate that he doesn’t either.

Obviously, nobama possesses intense hatred for anything not moozlum. nobama is a putrid, feckless loser.

"we never need an excuse for a good party." All his guests laughed.

I wonder if Obama has ever read the story about King Belshazzar in the book of Daniel. He partied with the sacred cups from the Temple and in a dream he saw God's hand write 3 words on the wall.

Daniel said to him, "This is the iterpretation of each word: MENE: God has numbered your kingdom and finished it. TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. PERIS: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and the Persians.

The lesson: NEVER mock the Lord God Almighty.

Part of his “outreach” to Jews in the US. Lighting all the candles is certainly moronic, and points to the fact no-one in his admin practices Judaism. He’s soooooo authentic.

Just wait till Kwanzaa. He damn sure won’t celebrate Christmas. The man is an ass clown who cannot get it right, and does not care, because his script was written my Marx.

I don’t know if he thinks very highly of Muslims, but he is a cocky SOB who is probably clever in some ways but not wise. My best guess is that he thinks of religion as being a useful way to con certain people. But there’s only one person he really cares about.

Back in the day, Lee Atwater would have built an entire ad series based on this comment - and made the president look just like the fool he is. Atwater understood how to play the game - for keeps.
