    I would say he should be celebrating Kwanza but then I remembered that Kenyan-born Muslims don't celebrate Kwanza.

    Strange times......

    The apparent desecration of Jewish tradition is upsetting exclusively Christians.

    The reason the believers in the three faiths don't get along famously is based in MANMADE dogmas, and the cultural differences.

    In fact, you don't even have to look at the "not getting along" between the three major faiths. . .just look at the "not gettinga long" WITHIN the Christian faith!

    Look at the posts even in this forum, where self proclaimed Christians negate the faith of any other Christians if the focus of their faith is not on JESUS CHRIST!

    Look at the way a renown minister speak about the Mormon Church, denying their call to being Christian. . .calling them a Cult!

    And you really think that those differences are "GOD inspired?"

    They are just the reflection of the pettiness of mankind!

    the Jews are well aware that the MAIN reason evangelicals fight so hard for Israel is not because of the Jews but because of the "end of days" philosophy that requires a Jewish state for Jesus to return.

    not strange at all. They are no fan of Jews BUT think about it: if Jews are out of Middle east, "who" will be there to greet Jesus when he comes back to life? Mooooozlims!
    So in summary, they are not Christian Conservatives are not crazy about Jews, but love the Zionism idea.

    I don't see what the problem is, fairly sure the bible makes no requirements of said Jewish state to exist outside 1967 borders

    Better yet, who cares if the US president is an idiot?

    I expect Obama is just the kind of moron that people like you want to see in charge of the country.

    [​IMG] ... actually what is confirmed by a participant is that Barack Obama smoked crack cocaine and played the skin flute with Larry Sinclair in the back of a Limo. [​IMG]

    Are you Jewish?

    Do you realize that EVERY PRESIDENT in the last 20 years has lit the Menorah (always a significant Menorah, this one was donated by the Jewish Museum), ALL IN ONE NIGHT of celebration (what do you think? that this should be repeated every day until all the lights of the Menorah are lit at the White House?. . .do you understand ANYTHING about "symbolic gestures?")

    Now, let's see what a JEWISH web sites has to say:

    Do you see any complaint, anyone seems offended?

    The West Point Jewish Chapel Choir performed at the event, while the menorah used was made in a displaced persons camp after World War II and donated by the Jewish Museum in New York.

    That's very nice... Good for Obama.

    What bizarre gibberish. Do you seriously believe Christians think that way? How totally twisted.

    That is the basis of Christian Zionism.. and the Evangelicals have also taken up the cause.. Consider Domionism.

    I am fully aware of Zionism and I don't know how you derived dominionism from that soup. Not sure how any of that shows that Christian conservatives are not crazy about Jews or Muslims greeting Jesus when he returns. That is just weird psychotic rambling.

    HAH at the Libs.
    Cain,Perry,Bachmann,Paul,all DUMBASSES..
    But Obama can completely humiliate and completely screw up Hanukkah and the Liberals defend him.The Menorah represents the 1 day worth of oil that miraculously burned for 8 days.
    You dont light them all at once.

    Ah, now I see it. Yes, looks like he screwed up. I wasn't sure if it was the sheer fact that he was lighting the menorah that made people angry...

    Just your uneducated and hateful remarks are a strong indication that you are not Jewish, and that you are just flapping your jaws. Obama did not humiliate or screw up Hanukkah, no mattre how much you wish he had.

    Anyone withhalf a brain and some good will realizes that the symbolic gesture of lighting the Menorah has been adjusted every year to allow this display of respect for the Jewish celebration of light inthe White House.
