Obama will be joined in the Grand Foyer by first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Biden’s wife, Jill.
last I checked Chanukah is is not for about 2 weeks.
Go ahead, start complaining that today isn’t Chanukah, his menorah isn’t lamehadrin, he is doing this because he is an anti-Semite (same reason he vetoed a Palestinian state and shipped bunker busters to Israel) and he is seceretly a Muslm extremist (and a socialist, communist, facist enemy of America and he drinks cholov stam and eats gebrochts).
Oy how the askanim are kvelling for an invitation to this.

Is Obama celebrating Xmas today too? He just found a few extra minutes that he’s bored in a few weeks early for pandering purposes.
Too bad his schedule is all messed up because of that 17 day vacation the family was supposed to take in Hawaii not to mention all the golf, which is why he had to squeeze it in now.
is the christmas celebration in 5 days? since he is bringing chanukah in early it would be fair to do the same with christmas
qazxc, if you, for a second, think he isn’t an anti-Semite, you need some intellectual integrity. He has never initiated anything to help Israel or Jews, there are just some old policies that he hasn’t YET ended.
And i would love to see him make his Eid party two weeks before Ramadan or his Xmas party on December 10. It is total disrespect.
In related news, the President’s Passover Seder will be held tomorrow night
obama knows that he will be too busy with his own goyishe holiday so he makes an early celebration. when bush did it early no one objected
Had he been around at the time, Obama would have urged acceptance of Greek rule, and willingness to compromise on the issues of Bris Milah, Shabbas, and Rosh Chodesh. The Maccabee’im would have been considered ‘Ultra-right wing religious fanatics’.
If he REALLY had any understanding of what Chanuka is truly about, he wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot shamash, – I mean pole!
Chanukah is a long holiday. A full eight days. If you can’t find time to have the celebration on Chanukah itself, atleast do it closer to the real date. I don’t need Obama lighting Chanukah candles, but I think it’s insulting to the jewish community to pretend to be interested in our holidays, and pretend to celebrate it way too early.
For those who are complaining, kindly note that last year Obama held a Glatt Kosher Dinner/Chanukah celebration, and 500 guests were invited. It was the first time in 234 years that such an event was ever held at the White House.
