Obama Seder Is ‘Least Likely’ of White House Traditions
New York Magazine ^ | 3/29/10 | Josh Duboff

Posted on 03/29/2010 1:03:26 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Photo: Pete Souza/White House, via nytimes.com "[The Obama Seder is] one of the newest, most intimate and least likely of White House traditions. When Passover begins at sunset on Monday evening, Mr. Obama and about 20 others will gather for a ritual that neither the rabbinic sages nor the founding fathers would recognize." - The New York Times on Monday evening's Presidential Seder, in what is (of course) currently the second-most e-mailed Times story. Last year's Seder, the first ever held in the White House, was, in the words of event organizer Eric Lesser, “the first time in history that gefilte fish had been placed on White House dishware."

They are planning something and need to immunize themselves from the actions they are about to take.

This is like Colonel Sanders throwing a party for chickens. He conveniently forgot to provide them with a menu, of course.

what does that mean?

Passover commemorates the night that the Angel of Death Passed Over the Israelite Households, which had the blood of the passover lamb smeared on the doorposts;

In the Egyptian households, all the First born Children died.

Watch The Ten Commandments movie, it portrays this very well.

Let’s remind his arugula arrogance, that this coming Maundy Thursday commemorates and we celebrate Christ’s Great Thanksgiving, The Last Supper, Seder. As a Jew, He loved the Temple on the Temple Mount and with His love, it will be restored to the grandeur of the original Temple.

“the first time in history...”

Oh, there for a second I thought Obama was actually doing something nice for the Jews. I didn’t realize there was history making involved. The Narcissist in Chief can’t let that one go by! There is HISTORY to be made! His name will be in a book somewhere!

Any “Jew” that appears at, or lends any credence to, this farce is traif. Worthy of shunning. Forever.
Chag Sameach to all.

Wine and dine your enemies then kill them in their sleep.

It has been done throughout history.
