Obama the first Jewish President?

Rahm Emanuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia From his Wikipedia page:

Emanuel has been described as a “strong Israel partisan”^[26] and a “convinced Zionist” and “prominent figure in the US Jewish lobby.”^[27] A strong supporter of AIPAC, he personally introduced fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama to the organization's directors during the 2008 presidential campaign.^[28] A November 2008 article claimed that while expressing empathy for Palestinians, Emanuel has explicitly condemned their leaders.^[29]

Who Is Rahm Emanuel? Clusterstock.com tells us that in addition to representing AIPAC, Rahm Israel Emanuel is the biggest recipient of Big Money money. What a surprise. Big Finance, AIPAC, and his middle name literally is "Israel". Let's just quit having elections here and let the Knesset pick for us. Save a bunch of time and money that way.

It was clear that Hilary would have been at least as rabidly Zionist a president as Joe Lieberman, and McPalin needs no comment. It looks like a choice regarding Middle East policy was never on the ballot except for the third-party candidates, and never will be. I voted for Obama, but I sure am glad I didn't give him any money or put much effort into him. To be fair, Rahm Israel Emanuel doesn't sound completely rabid: he apparently supported the Oslo peace process. But give me a break here: Obama's first pick is a guy whose middle name is Israel, has or had dual US-Israeli citizenship, volunteered with the IDF during the first Iraq Attack, has Israeli family and spends his summers there, and is awash in Big Money Money, and about whom there is considerable chatter linking him to Mossad... Really, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried... I would have left the country in a hurry if McPalin won, and now my wait-and-see attitude is already moving towards concluding there really is no alternative for the US but bankruptcy and implosion in the service of our various enemies and masters, foreign and domestic, so I think I'm still out of here, just in a more leisurely fashion.
