How could our jewish leaders believe, or endorse Barack Obama?

Obama was joined at the hip for 20 years with anti-semite Jeremiah Wright ... and,
Wright gave a lifetime achievement award to an even bigger anti-semite, Louis Farrakan!

Of course, when it became politically expedient, Obama disavowed Wright
(or did he?). Yes, Obama discredited Wright, his friend, mentor, advisor of
20 years, in order to achieve his personal ambitions. The same ambitions
that made him neglect his obligations in the senate, to pursue his bigger personal
ambitions of becoming president. But, of course Obama wouldn't think of ever
throwing us Jews under the bus ... even if down the road it becomes personally advantageous,
and politically expedient! Sure, we'd like to believe Obama, even if his 20 year history
belies his current words.

As a result of parental abandonment at an early age, being raised by white grandparents,
and going to a predominantly white prep school and white University, Obama has suffered an identity crisis
for quite some time. This was a primary reason for joining the black separatist church in
Chicago. Even if he is bright and articulate, he still has his own personal mishigas.

Obama previously stated that he wanted to talk to the leaders of Iran, and recently
he got a public endorsement from Hamas. For Jews to put our trust in Obama concerning
a situation that could dramatically effect the future of Jewry, is like believing it when we
were told we were being taken to the showers.

I just hope our Jewish 'leaders' know what the hell they're doing when they publicly
endorse Obama

Howard,

I understand how different races of people in America and deferent American ethnic groups feel a certain sense of tribal identity, but I also believe that plays to our lower animal instinct and identity. What about the original idea of American multiculturalism, i.e.: the melting pot? Shouldn't we find a common identity in our shared American values - the values in the Declaration of Independence?

Didn't Thomas Jefferson and our founding fathers say that all men (meaning all men and all women) are created equal? And didn't God say that all men and women are all created in His image - not just certain colors or certain tribes?

I believe it is un-American for Blacks to be "Black-centric or Afro-centric," and for Whites to be "White-centric or Euro-centric," and for Jews to be "Jew-centric," and for Christians to be "Christian-centric," etc. etc. etc.

When are we going to stop this ridiculous and animalistic preoccupation with race and ethnicity in America? I believe Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King are both disgusted with all of this, and they are now turning in their graves.

Howard,

I'm a Christian, but as much as I love Jesus, I realize that the United States cannot be united around Christian theology, or Jewish theology; nor can we be united around black, brown or white skin. We can be united around the ideas and values of our founding fathers. These values are a combination of religious values (Judeo-Christian) and reason (Western Enlightenment). It is in the world of values where we can unite as a nation - not skin color, ethnicity or theology.

1. All people are created equal - equal before God and the law.

2. Our sacred human rights come from God (not from government), and our core human rights are life, liberty and the creative pursuit of happiness. These sacred human rights cannot be justly or legally revoked by any act of the President, Congress or Supreme Court - our human rights come from a higher source.

3. Our American government, i.e.: the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the three branches were created to secure (not confer) those human rights.

4. Just government power derives from the consent of the governed, and therefore, it is unjust for government to rule without the people's consent.

5. Liberty is defined by the Constitution and Bill of Rights as: Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, right to bear arms and act in self-defense, right to own property and to privacy at home, uninterrupted elections and right to vote, and division of powers into three branches.

Let’s unite in a great melting pot of these sacred values so our children can live in liberty and creatively pursue happiness. We can't continue to be a great nation if we continue to splinter apart based on our superficial differences - differences of skin color or ethnicity or theology. We can unite around the values found in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights.

I agree with you that Barak Obama doesn’t seem to share in many of these values - he seems to be pathologically focused on skin color and something called Black values or African values - something which his hateful preacher has promoted to him for twenty years. Those values appear to me to be in conflict with the values of our founding fathers.

Storm-Rider,

Yes, our Declaration Of Independence states that that "...all men are created equal..."

Equal not the Same!

It is our differences that make us interesting.

By the way, our founding fathers did not mean women too. They meant men and only men. Women didn't have the right to vote until 1920. That's 144 years after the Declaration was written and 50 years after men of color got the vote (15th amendment).

Thanks Howard - I agree with you.
