WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have convened a Hanukkah celebration at the White House on the second night of the Jewish festival of lights.
The celebration occurred in the East Room Thursday, where guests recited traditional prayers while lighting candles in a menorah lent by a congregation in New Orleans that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Har!
I wonder if their future Christmas party guests will be “reciting traditional prayers” (Christian ones) or reading the nativity gospel and standing around statues of Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus. I highly doubt it. These people are not only intolerant of Christianity, they are hostile toward it. How a Christian nation elected them baffles me.
Hannukah celebrates the re-dedication of the Temple after it was desecrated by the Syrians (Seleucids). He's sending a signal to Assad. Very subtle--we're just too dense to pick up on it.
Just like in the Garden of Eden--the serpent was the most subtle of all the animals.
I'm still waiting for the Easter message. /s
