Still Awaiting My Invite to Tonight’s Seder at Obama’s House

The Obamas are hosting a seder at the White House tonight, and it is an historic first. While whack job Republicans are likely working themselves up into a full-out whine about it, I’ll merely complain that they didn’t invite my boy Jack, who would have been the life of the party, even though he isn’t old enough to ask the four questions.

1. An interesting ju-jitsu move as well

By doing a good and noble thing, he is setting self-destruct charges among the Isralei radical right and their pals, to be detonated during the coming debate over restarting the peace process.

3. Brilliant move by Obama

The Israeli lobby has so gotten into the habit of crying "anti-Semitism" any time an American isn't totally in lock-step agreement with what the Israeli government is doing. And that current government doesn't want a two-state solution. By making this historical move, Obama has shown a respect for Jews and their traditions--hardly "anti-Semite."

4. This isn't a "move," it's a tradition. They held a Seder last year, too.

Rabbi Capers Funneye is Michelle's cousin. It's all in the family. ;-)
