In Passover Message Obama Reflects on Muslim Spring in Middle East

Passover is a Jewish holiday that recalls the bondage of the Jewish people in Egypt and the miracle of the Exodus. To celebrate the occasion this year Barack Obama released a statement praising the Muslim Spring in the Middle East.

Passover recalls the bondage and suffering of Jews in Egypt and the miracle of the Exodus, but U.S. President Barack Obama says its message is reflected in Muslim uprisings.

In his annual message, prior to his third straight participation in the Passover Seder, President Obama stated, “The story of Passover…instructs each generation to remember its past, while appreciating the beauty of freedom and the responsibility it entails. This year that ancient instruction is reflected in the daily headlines as we see modern stories of social transformation and liberation unfolding in the Middle East and North Africa.”

Either this guy has a completely political tin ear, or he is plain ignorant of the meaning of Passover, or he intentionally insulted both Jews and Christian by highjacking this most quintessential Jewish Holy day.

I believe Obama belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood therefore to intentionally insult is the norm.

Passover is a Jewish holy day.
Easter is Christian holy day.

Since muslims don’t believe that Christ was crucified nor arose from the dead, I’m sure Obambi’s lovely wife will read from bunny books on Easter just to poke her and his finger in all Christians and Jews’ eyes.

I would love to hear him say the word Jesus just ONCE this weekend. Bet he don’t!

You couldn’t have a tinnier ear or dumber ass than the resident of our White House.

"Either this guy has a completely political tin ear, or he is plain ignorant..."

He doesn't have a political tin ear...politics is his religion.

He IS ignorant, but he thinks he's smarter than everyone else...hence we have to get lectured constantly by someone with a completely blank resume.

Can I know what’s wrong with bunnies on Easter? Michael Medved was banging on about this the other day.

I grew up as an “Orthodox” Catholic. On Easter Sunday we went to Mass, received Communion and understood that Christ rose from the dead.

But we went home and my parents gave us baskets and chocolate bunnies. What’s wrong with that? Should we not have Christmas trees at Christmas? I’m not being unfriendly; I just want to know. Thanks.

90% of American Jews voted a known Muslim into the White House. Hey, they got what they want.

The Muslim call to prayer over Jerusalem is the most beautiful sound on Earth.

Ok Jews! You have your Messiah. Kiss his Black butt like you want to. (fools, idiots)

Hunting eggs was a pagan fertility festival, same with rabbits. Left overs from the pagan past.

My future in-laws speak Yiddish beautifully, but I have no idea how some of their words are spelled. A conversation with MIL takes on the tones of “Coffee Talk.”

On topic, this is the kind of stuff that sends my fiance’s father to throwing plates. They all voted for BO, and I told them they’d regret it, that he is no friend to Israel. Now they believe me.

Last year, his lovely wife refused to even mention Jesus while she read from bunny books at our White House. Those two residents of our White House are disgusting humans.

Easter is the celebration of Jesus rising from the dead. To have these putzes not even slightly refer to Jesus, not even once, from our White House is disgusting.

Yes, we had Easter eggs when I was a kid and still do, but I never forget the real reason for Easter like I don't forget the real reason for Christmas.

Those two heathens don't care one bit about anything Christian. He's a muslim and I don't know what she is.
