Ooops. Nobody will touch that one with a 10 foot pole so just talk amongst yourselves.

"Jewish Day School" is a code word for "This puke is from Chicago but he's keeping his kids pure by not sending them to school with the Negroes".
Wonder if the "Obama" girls are going there?

“Good heavens, could he be Mossad also”
As an aside, Mossad probably knows more about Obama’s background than the F.B.I.
One senses that they are going to be watching what goes on behind the scenes in the incoming administration _very_ closely. And I don’t blame them.

If American Jews are happy over this appointment, they lack any political sense. Emanuel is one of the few men who could publically oppose Obama and have the opposition hurt. Inside the Obama White House, the man is emasculated. When Obama makes his first move against Israel - and that will come very quickly after Barry takes office - you can be certain Rahm will be at his side. Then when Barry makes his second - and far more serious - move, you can be certain Rahm will be there as well. When this happens, Rahm may be unhappy with the tilt away from Israel, but as the man is far more of a Democrat than a Jew, he won't leave the administration in a public huff.
Once, Lyndon Johnson was asked why he appointed an opponent to a position in the Johnson administration. LBJ said, “Its better to have him inside the tent “urinating” out, than outside the tent “urinating” in.”

Rahm has served in the Israeli army. The guy is brilliant and hyper-partisan.

On the outside, he had the opportunity of getting his masculinity back. Inside the Obama White House, he'll have no chance. More than that, as COS, he may control access to Barry but will not have any influence on policy.

So “change” means hiring a bunch of Clinton-era retreads, is that right?

He is a lib thru and thru. He helped make the deadly Oslo accords occur. Maybe he puts on tephillin, but he would have more comfortable in the labor party in Israel than the Likud. Some Jews would vote for Satan himself if he was a Democrat.
Wikipedia says he choreographed the Rabin/Arafat handshake at the White House.
Why would the son of an Irgunist, named after a member of the Stern Group, fall so low? And why does his father apparently approve?

Morons. Rahm was a driving force in the Clinto-Rabin-Arafat charade. He is a liberal who supports land for terrorism.
Rahm had no problems with Clinton's coup against Netanyahu. His daddy may have been Irgun but the congressman sees Israel as a colony the same way Rome saw Judea.
Where is the Stern Gang when you need them, for these Quislings.

Let’s not get too excited here. The UJC is the umbrella group for ‘reformed synagogues’ which is another word for social justice before Judaism. They are more about marxism than Jehovah.
The UJC doesn’t know Rahm Emanuel from Oprah Winfrey. They are just happy it wasn’t Rashid Khalidi.
