Mysteriously, the Office of the President has requested that a video of a Jewish singing group performing at the White House be removed from the web. Matzav.com reports:
Matzav.com, in the Featured Video section, recently presented a video of the famed Maccabetas singing group performing for President Barack Obama at a reception in the White House in honor of American Jewish Heritage Month, the month of May. American Jewish Heritage Month pays tribute to the American Jews who have helped form the fabric of American history, culture and society.
As part of the entertainment at the event, the Maccabeats were invited to sing several songs. They also did an impromptu acapella chant, with beautiful harmonies, of "Four More Years," which was the video posted on Matzav.com.
The Office of the President, however, has asked that the video be removed from the internet and Matzav.com has acceded to that request.
It is not clear, though, why the Office of the President found the harmless, innocuous video of the Jewish acapella choir performing to President Obama's applause problematic.
Mordy Prus, a baritone with The Maccabeats, told Matzav.com that following the President's request, the group removed the video from Youtube. They then asked Matzav.com, which had hosted by the video on its own server, to remove it as well.
WTF? (by which, of course, I mean "Win the future?")
Maybe there is an innocuous explanation, but the ugly suspicion that Obama does not want anything "too Jewish" associated with himself from reaching Arab eyes inevitably suggests itself.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

A video can be Jewish?
When did we get a Heritage Month and how did I miss it?
IMO he’s a muslim, it really is just that simple.
And they complied with the White House request? Why? I wonder how the conversation went.
Does anyone have that video anymore???
Well good. If the White House is trying to hide it, then by all means the video needs to be spread all over the internet.
Perfectly understandable.
When he’s been thrown out of office or retires from his second term, he’s gotta live somewhere and it probably won’t be stateside.
Singing “Four More Years” for Obama is sort of like the Warsaw Ghetto Choir singing “Springtime in Paris” for Himmler.
Idi Amin fled to Saudi Arabia. Got a feeling that the Saudis won’t be so welcoming to Obongo. Maybe he can run to Iran.
I don’t think it is just Arab eyes Obama is worrying about. Rev Wright and Louis Farrakhan represent very anti-Jewish constituencies that supported Obama. Much of the left has similar views.
It is all posing, nothing more.
He no doubt feels secure that the Jewish vote is his, no matter how he treats Israel or Jewish groups.
However, he must keep up the illusion that he is in the tank for the Progressives and Islamists. Losing their cooperation means his and Michelle’s gig in the White House is gone, caput.
People around them, their supporters and handlers, deeply believe in communisim, statism, Islam, or Progressivism. The administration is filled with these types - it is what the Democratic Party allowed in when they began grooming Obama to be President. He was their ticket to get control of the government at ALL levels.
The Democrats thought he would be a pliant puppet. His political achievements were nil. Obama as a facade, all the while Democrat operatives are busy dissassembling the U.S. Constitution. They didn’t anticipate this guy’s past as the anchor it has become.
Everyone gets thrown under the bus eventually, even his grandmother. Why? The Obama’s have no core values, IMO. They are con artists. Michelle’s law license was suspended for aiding and abetting a client in insurance fraud. Her client? Barak Obama. That was years ago, and her connection to the Daley political machine saved them from prosecution. I suspect it spurred them into active politics as a means to a more lucrative form of fraud. Money is their goal.
They have between them over 40 SSNs. It is illegal to have more that one. As all LE investigators know, this is a tip-off that fraud has been, and probably still is, being committed.
Thanks. I have put it on my website.
Well, if they snip a little bit off one end...
“A video can be Jewish?”
If you circumcise it, but not in San Fran.
He’d probably go back to Indonesia.
Of COURSE he can't have this on his website. He is bought and paid for by Very Important Arab Muslims. He is more afraid of them than of the American people.

Streisand effect
The Streisand effect is a primarily online phenomenon in which an attempt to hide or remove a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely. It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose attempt in 2003 to suppress photographs of her residence inadvertently generated further publicity.
