He spoke of visiting 57 states. He royally flubbed a toast to Queen Elizabeth II. Now, Barack Obama has made a misstep at the menorah.
Obama celebrated Hanukkah at the White House…just a few days early. At the celebration, attended by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, numerous VIPs, and his new director of Jewish outreach, Obama lit every candle on the menorah.
Of course, lighting on candle each night is the only kosher way to celebrate.
Obama had kind and reverential things to say about the Jewish festival of lights:
It’s a story of right over might, of faith over doubt, of a band of believers who rose up and freed their people and discovered that the oil left in their desecrated temple – which should have lasted only one night – ended up lasting eight. It’s a timeless story. And for 2,000 years, it has given hope to Jews everywhere who are struggling. And today, it reminds us that miracles come in all shapes and sizes.
He added the season is a time of friendship between people, and nations — the perfect time to draw attention to “our unshakeable support and commitment to the security of the nation of Israel.”
(Story continues following video.)
His tone was a nice contrast to the short-shrift he usually gives religious holidays, particularly Christian ones. Although he has released presidential proclamations on behalf of holidays like Diwali, Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha, he issued no proclamation for Easter this year.
Rush Limbaugh joked about Obama’s celebration of the holiday taking place early, so the president can get to his vacation. El Rushbo asked if Obama had confused Hanukkah with Kwanzaa, the phony, racist holiday Obama has celebrated with a presidential proclamation in the past.
At least Obama has never screwed up a black nationalist holiday. Yet.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE OBAMA IS A LYING MUSLIM AND AN ILLEGAL BY OUR CONSTITUTION. WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE YOUR KIDS AND GRAND KIDS WILL BE LIVING WITH YOUR MISTAKE FOR VOTING THIS LYING MUSLIM INTO THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF OUR COUNTRY. IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE THIS CAN'T HAPPEN GO BACK IN HISTORY. GOD HELP AMERICA AND THERE VOTERS.
DITTO !!
He respects all religions, except Christianity. He really was raised as a Muslim and Communist in Indonesia from his years from age 5 to 11. He did said the most beautiful sound he had ever heard was the Morning Muslim call to Prayers. He mocked the Jewish Christian scriptures. He is not eligible to be president because of his non-citizen father was a British Citizen, he inherited his citizenship from his father according to international law.
O'Vomit is a Commie, filthy Muslim. He is the most dangerous, nefarious, and evil man to ever hold (illegaly) the Muslim House.
aaaah, yes, the messiah!! what can you say about a moron.
Short and simple…..nothing but a parasite.
But a very dangerous parasite.
Obama is a disgusting, continuous, narcissistic liar. He is a Muslim of Marxist beliefs and actions. He believes that he is king of our once great Republic. He continues this charade and after a period of time his followers believe his lies and his kinghood. Wake up, America, the hour is growing short!
I truly hope and pray that we will see the last of him on January 20, 2012.
Obamination is a fascist pig. He pays the muslim countries and insults Israel all the time. He must have been sucking up to some big money to even invite the jewish people. Of course he was buttering up Judge Ginsberg…..so she will vote his way on the healthcare bill.
Once an AH, always an AH.
