CHICAGO (AP) — President-elect Barack Obama's White House chief of staff apologized to the Arab-American community on Thursday for remarks his father made to an Israeli newspaper.

Last week, Benjamin Emanuel talked about his son Rahm Emanuel's new job and told the Israeli daily Ma'ariv that "obviously he'll influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn't he? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to be mopping floors at the White House

I think the President-Defect should now publicly kiss the behind of an Arab sheik, just to make sure no cultural boundaries were irreversibly crossed.

Democrats' geopolitical gaffes don't matter. Nothing they do will bear any scrutiny no matter how far off into the weeds this amateur-assed Chicago city councilman runs America.

Screw it. I'm just gonna go play some Super Mario Galaxy on my Wii and tune out until Spring of 2010. It's all in these jackasses' hands now.

Damned! Rahm’s father war Irgun. They didn’t surrender to anyone and his father knew what the Arabs did to Jewish prisons, slit their throats, be they men, women or children.

Rahm, who once belonged to my shual, has surrendered faster to the PLO lobby than the French did to the Germans.

What a leftist, ball-less little sh*t. But hey, that’s the Obama camp - sellouts, cowards, losers, and fools.

Typos. Should have read.

Rahm’s father was in the Irgun. and “knew what the Arabs did to Jewish prisoners (both military and civilian), slith their throats, etc.”

And before anyone condemsn Menachem Begin for being in the Irgun, he was jailed by the Nazis and then by our so-called Russian allies during WW2. Then the British tried to jail him.

He knew who his enemies were and fought to win, not like the surrender monkeys we have in the State Dept and in the next White House.

There was no “yellow” color in the Israeli flag, nor, until recently, in the American flag.

I agree. Father Emanuel was refreshingly candid. I’d much rather be in a foxhole with him than with his weasley son.
