Charles ,   Cleveland   (03.29.10)
2. typical obama
david ,   new york   (03.29.10)
divide, confuse and conquer. viciously attack israel and then say you're "pro-israel", tax the air we breathe and then claim you are for tax cuts. are we so stupid that him saying "chag sameiach" is going to chemoflage what he is doing to israel??
3. OBAMAS REWRITE:NEXT YEAR IN A SETTLEMENT,I'LL THINK ABOUT IT
..........DACON9   (03.29.10)
4. It's in JERUSALEM - this year and forever!!!!
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (03.29.10)
No wishes from you are accepted. Take them to your friends elsewhere
5. Obamas Hagadah says NEXT YEAR NOT IN JERUSALEM
Alan ,   SA   (03.29.10)
6. This guy makes me ill
A Jew ,   Diaspora   (03.29.10)
7.  he left Netanyahu for one hour to have dinner with family,
(03.29.10)
He didn't invite Netanyahu to dinner because it was not kosher for Pesach. is a black panther kosher?
8. I hope that he understands...
Lou ,   Deal, USA   (03.29.10)
I hope that Obama understands that the Jewish Nation left Egypt, where we were slaves and became a nation, so that we could return to the land of Israel and build Jerusalem.
9. Also teaches that there is a Pharoah born every minute
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (03.29.10)
10. "Oppression" = 3000+ dead whites in South Africa
Andrew ,   Miami,FL   (03.29.10)
its the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. Thank you Mr mugabe - im sure mr obama secretly is cheering for you
11.  no ,thanks!
OZ   (03.29.10)
this wolf in a sheep clothes can't fool everyone all the time.... we all saw his reall demeanor and intentions last tuesday and the weeks before... just because he has several "jewish" aids, doesn't mean much to the rest of us... so no thanks!
12. Obama's Passover message
Ger ,   Raanana, Israel`   (03.29.10)
And he added, "Next year somewhere other than Jerusalem".
13. #2
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.29.10)
"are we so stupid that him saying "chag sameiach" is going to chemoflage what he is doing to israel??" Yes, the answer is apparently, yes. It's how he got you all to vote for him in the first place, and an overwhelming amount of Jewish Americans still support him and the democratic party. I myself moved to Israel, a year and a few months ago.
14. Just like when we received holiday greetings
jason white ,   afula, israel   (03.29.10)
from ara-fat. There are no Jews in the White House, just traitors to the Jewish people. b.o. and his gang are such hypocrites. We survived pharohs and we will survive jihadists and kapos. One Jewish Jerusalem forever!
15. This hypocrite seeks to appropriate Pesach.
The 11th Man ,   London   (03.29.10)
Communists reduce everything into a 'fight for freedom' or against 'tyranny'.If they ever got to Heaven (!) they would try to stir-up the Angels to form a Union against the Almighty. This was tried once before. The redemption of the Jewish people from Egypt was NOTHING if it wasn't an eternally significant miracle performed on their behalf by the One True G-d. And what He has done, He can do again. Am Yisroel Chai!
16. Obama
ben Ish   (03.29.10)
I think there is something wrong with a President who is more concerned about a Jew building a home in Jerusalem, than a Muslim building a nuclear bomb in Iran.
17. The transparency stinks!
Charles ,   Berkeley, USA   (03.29.10)
Israel. I'm am not a Jew, nor a Christian fundamentalist! But I see what is happening, with eyes wide open. Stand united as never before. Our president's words are meaningless. The man is no friend of yours and will do all that he can to pressure you into concessions, to satisfy his ideological worldview.
18. #5 Alan - close
Chatich   (03.29.10)
Obama's hagadah probably says next year in al quds.
19. This is how non-Jewish liberals "do" Passover
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (03.29.10)
Let's not overdo the significance of these greetings. It's what presidents do today. He'll send another one for Easter, another for each of the Muslim "Ayds", another for Chinese New Year, etc. But it's not like we should depend on Obama to provide us the "lessons" we need to learn from the Exodus. He'll just get it wrong, as he does in reminding us of "our ongoing responsibility to fight against all forms of suffering and discrimination". No, that's not quite what the holiday is all about.
20. Obama misses the point
(03.29.10)
Passover is about G-d's eternal promise to his chosen people, the children of Israel, to live in their promised land. Of course Obama see's it through the lens of Liberation Theology, which he was taught by Jeremiah Wright.
21. Obama's 9 Plagues
(03.29.10)
22. 'IN EVERY GENERATION...
LEE ,   NY, USA   (03.29.10)
they stand against us to destroy, but the HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, saves us from their hands!"
23. Pesach Greetings
Isaiah53 ,   San Luis Obispo, CA   (03.29.10)
Happy Holiday indeed. It's Passover. The day the first born of Egypt died. The day Israel was freed. The Golem wishes us happy holidays. Peace in Jerusalem, may you all have a joyful Pesach.
24. Next Year in Jerusalem
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (03.29.10)
Next Year in Jerusalem http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
25. #10-Its not Mugabe. The 3000+ are SA Afrikaner Farmers (Boer
Alan ,   SA   (03.29.10)
SA terrorists in rural areas have slaughtered these farmers(mostly/vastly Afrikaners,few English) since 1994 Democratic elctions The SA Agriculture has gone down the drain. The farms are just growing weeds now. They have a song "KILL THE BOER ,KILL THE FARMER" Its Pres Zuma you thinking of . Mugabe in Zimbabwe hasnt killed so many farmers as in SA BUT he has confiscated almost all their farms and given them to all the big politicians and Judges etc.
26. Is Jeremiah Wright going to say Ma Nishtana?
(03.29.10)
27. Obama's Seder
Michael Garkawe ,   Madison,NJ   (03.29.10)
At the end of the Seder what is Obama going to say?"Next Year in Jerusalem EXCEPT no Jewish housing(called settlements,a new description for Jewish homes)"
28. Obama
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.29.10)
.. can stuff his phony Passover greetings. I'm not interested in his "good wishes," because I know he speaks with a forked tongue. His actions since his presidency commenced have been very clear and very telling. That he would hold a seder is blasphemy.
29. Obama actually said "Next year only in west Jerusalem"
Cynic ,   USA   (03.29.10)
30. a true enemy of israel
joe ,   haifa   (03.29.10)
obama you are the biggest mistake in the history of the usa.you don't even cover your hate for israel and you will create disaster for your own country too.your knowledge of balance of power is close to nill and history together with your ignorance of world matters will prove how wrong you are.
