Chicago, IL - Jewish Billionaire Refuses Post For Secretary of Commerce In Obama Admin.

“ I guess we don't attack Obama the antisemite. I didn't vote for him but not because I felt he was ana ntisemite. I don't think that Democrats are good for the country. Meanwhile this guy is surrounding himself with Jews from Chicago. All of whom are quite ardent zionists. ”

“ What is interesting to me is; just how little we new york frummies knew about Obama's connection to the Chicago jewish community. Just an observation, make of it what you will. ”

“ He is surrounding himself with pro-zionist Jews so that he can blame them when things go badly. ”

“ I voted for Mccain but was happy with the election results. I truly believe that right wing radio, which I am a fan of, Rush, Sean, Bob,Steve, Savage and the others had Obama all wrong. BTW Michael Medeved who broadcasts in the afternoon from Seattle on WNYM 970am is a shul gong Jew ”

“ Why another yid in a high place! is this good! Yiden might be blamed for everything when it gets bad! PLEASE stop the wave! Do we need more Jews in high government positions. Moshiach is on the way, before he is reviled we might be facing hard times why blame it on the Yiden in the whitehouse. ”

“ all these republican jews did not prevent the loss of parnossa to millions of Jews ”

“ Israeli government is full of Jews and it doesn't stop them of being "anti-Semites"(implementing policies that hurt Israel and Jews that live there).

How clever it is to have a cabinet full of Jews and force Israel to give up half of Jerusalem, Golan and all the shtachim to arabs (chas v'sholom). If he would have a cabinet full of arabs he would be accused of anti-Semitism, but this way he is basically getting a card blanche to try to do whatever he wants with Israel while shielding himself from criticism. I would not be so excited about his picks of Jews for the cabinet positions. President Bush did not have too many Jews in his cabinet, meanwhile he is unquestionably one of the best presidents as far as pro- Israel position goes.

“ you should be ashamed oif yourself for all this loshon hora and you are an amoretz gomer, Have you ever heard of "don es kol adom l'kaf tzichus" . It is impossible for you to rise above your prejudice ”

“ All the wiseguys on this website vilifying the President elect should say al Chayt or pack up and leave the country. Terrible another Jew will become a member of President elect Obama's cabinet. They should hide their faces for all the loshon hora spewed forth. Ms. Pritzker the head of Hyatt Hotel Chain has billions invested in Eretz Yisroel. The last dmocratic Administration left a surplus and now we have friends [Jews] who children are looking for parnossa and had good job. ”

“ Uh, sweetheart, for argument sake, if the country goes to pot - and I am not saying it will - who do you think will get blamed? Nisht unzerrer yiddelech?
And were you to argue that we would be pointed at anyhow, Obama is merely speeding up the process...
Good luck... ”

“ Although I don't think Obama is appointing Yidden on purpose so he can blame them later, I do get nervous when there are Yidden in high places. Just as I was scared to vote for Joe Lieberman for VP. I'll admit though, that this really isn't too logical, just a galus mentality. ”

“ He has connections to Chicago’s Jewish billionaires, not to Chicago's Jewish community. ”

“ why should he have connections to the Jewish community. Had he not appointed Jews he would be charged as an antisemite. He is appointing Jews and he is charged with using Jews to use as a sacrificial lamb. Frankly in Yiddish there is a proverb "wenn man will shlugen a hund gefint men a steken" Sofar Mr. Obama has been insulted and vilified by the AlQuida network if this any positive sign. The latest german magazine calls the U.S. financial crisis "the biggest theft in the world" and there are a lot of Jewish name twirling around which is more damaging on an international level to Jews than appointments byPresident-elect Obama ”

“ its funny how people think so many jews is suddenly a bad thing.
Bush has Michael Mukasey (attorney general), Michael Chertoff (homeland security), Josh Bolten (chief of staff).

He also has or had Ari Fleischer (press secretary)
Lewis “Scooter” Libby - former Chief of Staff to Vice President Cheney
Paul Wolfowitz - former Deputy Secretary of Defense
Douglas Jay Feith - Former Under Secretary for Policy, Department of Defense
Dov S. Zakheim - Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), Pentagon
Ari Fleischer - President Bush's former press secretary.
Kenneth Adelman - member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
Robert Satloff - U.S. National Security Council Advisor
Elliott Abrams – Deputy National Security Council Advisor
Marc Grossman - Under Secretary for Political Affairs

So is it indeed bad to have so many jews in high places for us to be blamed when things go bad? Maybe so!

“ Why should he have connections to the Jewish community? Because he was their senator from Illinois. If he'll be good for Israel, only time will tell. It is a fact that when the United States wants to pressure Israel they deliberately send a Jewish diplomat (e.g. Abe Sofer etc.). Could be that he'll be good for Israel, who knows? Lev Melochim veSorim beyad HaShem. If we'll be ehrlich then no one will be able to tchepah us. ”

“ actually it was barack obama who sponsored the iran sanctions enabling act, a bill to impiose heavy sanctions on iran which passed the house and was shot down in the senate by republican senator wayne allard because they didnt want to have it come to a vote and pass this very necessary legistlation because it would have given obama and important legistlative victory right before the election. the rpeublicans cared more about not letting obama look good than about actually sanctioning iran.

chew on that. ”
