We forget a lot of things. Just a few days ago he was bowing to a King whose nation ended slavery only within the lifespan of the King and the supplicant President of the United States. And who still denys his subjects anything near what Americans would consider the most basic human rights.

Will he use a teleprompter for the four questions?

Absolutely! Why should this night be different from any other night?

no indication he bears any animosity toward Jews at all.

I don't know. Spending 20 years listening to Reverend Wright isn't a good sign. I also think that there has been more than just a casual relationship between akaObama and Farrakhan. Biography.com used to credit akaObama's effort in support of Farrakhan's "Million-man March" but no more. (And then akaObama was one of only five or so mentioned.)

Lie down with dogs; get up with fleas. Maybe you've seen me relate my own family history which has my grandmother coming to America in 1936 to look for a place to live. And then on the day of Kristalnacht leaving her home in Berlin with my grandfather, stopping in several European cities to collect money that her customers owed her (She had asked them not to pay her until she came to collect.), then stopping in England to collect my father who was in his third year of school outside of Germany (The first was in Italy.), and then coming to America. I like to think some of her prescience is in my blood. I used to pooh-pooh people who were worried about anti-Semitism in the US. I am no longer quite so sanguine as I once was.

But apparently for a time in the Illinois State Senate, he shared an office with an observant Jew.

I'm guessing that this observant Jew was a fellow state senator and a Democrat. How did O come to share an office with him? Do you mean that state powers that be didn't have enough office space so that two senators had to share the same office? And even if the story is true, could O have been interested in learning about Judaism out of a sinister motive? Remember that during this period, when he went back to Chicago, he was listening to Rev. Wright's sermons and hobnobbing with Islamic radicals, such as Khalidi, in his district.

O hosting a seder (l'havdil) is like Haman throwing a Purim party.

Pretty good analogy. I started to laugh when I read it, but caught myself and realized that the implications are too serious.

Yes, very comfortable in the company of antisemites, racists and anti-American activists from the benign to terrorists. This goes directly to his judgement, and should have been an issue in the campaign, since through his association he legitimizes these views, unfortunately McCain not only refused to raise it, but assured us it wasn’t an issue. However it’s difficult to make a definitive case that he dislikes Jews, or whites.

It's even difficult to make a definitive case that the man is a native-born US citizen. (He isn't a natural-born citizen in any case.) His origins are shrouded in mystery, as a former rabbi of mine used to say. And not much is really known about what happened to him after that.

At this point in his plans, he's willing to be friendly to anyone who supports his radical politics and his pro-Islamist worldview, which includes most of the Jewish Democrats to whom he's given some plum appointments. Those are the kinds of Jews who will be at the WH Seder.

But just remember a lesson from history: many Jews in the Soviet Union were welcomed in the Communist Party apparatus at the beginning, but were later ruthlessly purged and murdered, while state policy eventually prohibited any semblance of Jewish religious or cultural or ethnic expression.

We do have enough info on hand to consider him as having been raised as a "Red Diaper Baby."

That's why I posted # 52.

I'm still floored over that one. At a loss for words. And so many Americans will look to him for example regarding his bow.

In his letter, Obama called the story of Jews' ascent from slavery to freedom in the Land of Israel as "among the most powerful stories of suffering and redemption in human history," accompanied by rituals and symbols that indicate "the beauty of freedom and the responsibility it entails."

So Obama believes that really happened? Didn't realize he was a "fundie."

He also said the holiday presented a message for all humankind. "As part of a larger global community, we all must work to ensure that our brothers and sisters of every race, religion, culture and nationality are free from bondage and repression, and are able to live in peace."

That's a relief. For a while I was worried about reeducation camps and compulsory "voluntarism."

Rabinowitz said that though he hadn't been invited, "I'm only sorry that I won't be there to see the president and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel say at the same time, 'Once we were all slaves. Now we are all free.'"

Barack Obama's ancestors were never slaves in America, but because he is a radical leftist he is an honorary conventional African-American (or at least a valid symbol). Meanwhile Alan Keyes' ancestors were (to the best of my knowledge) slaves in America, but because he doesn't support abortion and buggery he's an "uncle tom."

Geithner, Volcker, and Plouffe aren’t on the list you linked to. Since I’m only half-Jewish I can’t tell if they are or aren’t.

Yup, he’s about as Jewish as, as ....

Words escape me. O wants to be all things to all people. Which equals, imho, nothing to anyone.

Neither Geithner, nor Volcker, nor Plouffe are Jewish.

So kabar is batting .000 on this one.
