“refused to answer an urgent phone call from the president on the Sabbath, when using the phone is prohibited except in life-saving situations.”

Brings to mind the Hillary Clinton question, “What if the 3:00 in the morning call is about the economy?”

I guess you fire your economists, then. If the economists have screwed up so bad that they gotta call you at 3:00 in the morning, then you really need to think about another profession.

Should I be surprised that the nomination of an observant Jew who served successfully under President Clinton would be a problem to the left today, because of his faith, not performance, when nominated by BH Obama?

"If there was a Hall of Fame for budget directors, then Jack Lew surely would have earned a place for his service in that role under President Clinton, when he helped balance the federal budget after years of deficits," President Obama said.

Revisionist history.

The Republican controlled Congress dragged Clinton kicking and screaming towards a balanced budget.

Unfortunately, it was done by decimating our military, not by cutting spending.

So instead of a budget czar Obama hired a budget mohel. I guess that tells us all we need to know about the size of the cuts to expect.

Another Jewish socialist no doubt.
