Washington – Obama Jokes Lew’s Loopy Signature Nearly Cost Him

    15

    The looping signature of current White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew appears on a letter dated 21 September 2011 posted on the White House website 10 January 2012. With Lew nominated to become US Treasury Secretary, the signature would appear on all US dollar notes.  EPA/THE WHITE HOUSE / HANDOUT Washington – President Barack Obama is joking that Jack Lew’s nomination as treasury secretary nearly fell through because of Lew’s loopy signature.

    Lew’s nomination means a new signature will be added to the dollar bill. Lew’s starts off with a soft “J” but is followed by seven loopy scribbles, making it difficult to read.

    Obama said at the nomination ceremony that he never noticed the signature before, even though Lew is his chief of staff. But after looking at it, quote, “I considered rescinding my offer to appoint him.”

    Obama says Lew promises to work to make one letter legible, quote,”in order not to debase our currency.”

    The treasury secretary’s signature is emblazoned on the lower right corner of U.S. bills of all denominations.

    Interrpretation of signature- Jack Lew is a quirky guy.

    He shouldn’t be treasury secretary for more reasons than his terrible penmanship (c’mon, doctors’ handwriting is easier to read than that!). What about his previous statements about the economy and taxes that were proven to be LIES, or at best “misinformation”?

    This abomonation-Hussein, is destroying this country faster then the blink of an eye.
    With the propagandist media he’s virtually untouchable.

    He needn’t worry. Obama’s economic policies have debased our currency more than Lew’s signature ever could.

    That’s actually the balance in the US Treasury- 0000000.

    The guys a frum yid and you still critisize?? You should be praising Obama for this apointment. Just 50 years ago this was unthinkable. Do you take our freedom and progress as fruma yidden in this country for granted? Better not. Realize that Obama has had so many yidden close employ and a frum yid as well, its a good time for the Jews in America, hope our children will have the same. Keep talking lashon harah on a frum yid, and showing non hakoras hatov to the Melech of this Memshala and C”V your children may be in trouble some time down the line.
