Obama’s is using this guy’s Judaism as a prop.
The dancing thug from Chicago doesn’t cut it, so he looked through the files for someone Orthodox to be the new Court Jew.
(And I do not mean this derisively of Jewish people. I mean this is obvious tokenism.)
He’s got Axelrod and Emanuel, I don’t see how a token helps him.
I doubt that’s the reason he chose him. His faith is the only reason for the article and it’s headline. Which may have come from the administration.
