White House Scraps Jewish Heritage Month Reception by Keith Koffler, White House Dossier, on April 5, 2013
The White House is picking winners and losers as it cuts back because of the sequester, and a planned reception for American Jews is getting the short end of the stick.
Many other events are proceeding as planned, but according to the Jewish news service JTA, the annual White House celebration of Jewish American Heritage Month is canceled.
“Jewish invitees usually include luminaries in the arts, sports and sciences, lawmakers, armed services personnel and the Israeli ambassador, as well as organizational leaders and political supporters of the president,” according to JTA.
The sequester cuts kicked in March 1, but that hasn’t stopped the White House from staging a variety of fun events marking all sorts of occasions.
The celebration of St. Patrick’s Day last month included an East Room bash with hundreds of guests and a separate breakfast party at the vice president’s residence.
Tuesday, the Obamas took in an exclusive viewing in the White House theater of the movie “42,” which chronicles the life of Jackie Robinson, with the film’s cast and crew. Earlier, in the day, Michelle hosted a “42 Film Workshop” for kids in the State Dining Room that featured Harrison Ford.
Obama even got in a reception for the Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings and major league soccer champs LA Galaxy on March 26. And there’s money around to transport him to the golf links, where he traveled by motorcade last weekend.
Next Tuesday, the Obamas will be treated to a command East Room performance “celebrating” Memphis soul music, with performances by stars like Justin Timberlake and Queen Latifah.
Deciding what to cancel could become problematic for the White House, as various groups begin to despair at not getting coveted presidential treatment.
For example, next month also traditionally includes a White House celebration of Cinco de Mayo. But it would seem doubtful Obama would nix that event, given the fierce competition for Hispanic voters.

Well then kiss off Amish month too...
Of course.
Muslims like Obama HATE Jews.
All he’s doing is showing the American people that it is HIS house and he can do as he pleases! I’m shocked that he can stay off AF1 long enough to do anything. Has anyone dusted the Oval Office in the last 5 years? It has got to have at least 3 inched of dust on the desk and cobwebs everywhere.
The resident is showing the Jews he no longer needs them. It’s time to shine the spotlight on Hispanics for their votes. In 2020 it will be the Asians turn.
Three day Iftar dinner and festival goes on as planned. Air Force One will fly Hussein to the Haj.
What they said in the article about the fierce competition for Hispanic votes makes a lot sense. The thing is; the WH can afford to give American jews the finger. They know that the vast majority of jews in this country are so stupid they will vote for them no matter what.
I am sure the muzzie month celebrations is still on. This White House is pure evil.
Well, I disagree that Jews are stupid, but I think you mean they’re stupid when it comes to automatically voting for demonic-rats, no matter how they’re treated, and I would certainly agree with that!
Israeli Jews vote almost the polar opposite, Praise God!
You are right. I probably should have expressed myself better. Thank you.
I understood your meaning. All too often, I don’t write clearly. My mind is way ahead of my slow typing....LOL.
