Jewish political behavior is so odd. The smartest people on the planet falling for the dumbest politicians. There is got to be some weird psychology at work. The same one which you observe among graduates of top universities who are some of the most enthusiastic supporters of Obama.

I am astounded at your right wing propaganda . Your president (Bush) happened to have a Menorah is his White House if you care to remember.So cut the BS. The world would be in a better place were it not for the worst president ever.

FWIU, Daroff was not there. There were 15 adult attendees of whom three were Jewish. The “seder” was led by Eric Lesser, an aide to Axelrod who handled reporters’ luggage during the campaign.
Obama may be the first to host a “seder” in the White House, but both Reagan and Bush-43 attended seders held at homes of advisors and appointees.

OK, according to NY Times & Post a “Seder Dinner” was held in White House (NY POst has a picture)with recipes based on those of (Jewish)Obama aides’ family recipes – made in the White House (non-Kosher, I assume) kitchen. A seder is NOT just a dinner – it is a Holiday, with meaning!. This offends me! & should offend anyone who cares about their faith & background!

So the guy who ran the Republican Jewish Coalition was really a leftist? Sounds like what happened to the Log Cabin Republicans – it was being funded by a big time democrat donor. I don’t know about the RJC but I do know about the Log Cabin Repub and always knew something was wrong with them.
How do we counter this stuff?

…Some email back-and-forth accidentally tacked on to White House guidance distributed to reporters shows the Obama administration is getting complaints about its Seder Thursday. One aide, Danielle Crutchfield, responded bluntly that “apparently Jewish here and in neighboring states are now calling wondering why they have not been invited.” The dinner is only expected to include 20 people.
…Crutchfield, Obamaís director of scheduling, also raises a question about whether the White House could drop a mention of the Seder altogether – before another aide points out that the event already had been listed in the previous day’s schedule.
But for all the rapid-fire emailing, no one noticed Thursdayís presidential schedule was going out with the wrong day ñ Wednesday ñ listed on top.

NormanF:
I agree. I don’t really appreciate the Obamas soiling our traditions with their cynical attempts to trick gullible Jews. Unfortunately, idiot court Jews are only too happy to receive the crumbs thrown their way.

Its sickening. I don’t appreciate our Jewish festival of freedom to be perverted by someone whose hostility to Israel’s survival is a matter of record. And I loathe my fellow Jewish co-religionists who prostrate themselves before the modern Pharaoh when the only one they should bow down to is G-d. I’m with you Debbie; I want nothing to do with this affront to Passover and all it represents for the Jewish people!
