PLEASE PROVIDE PROPER ATTRIBUTION.

NOW, where are the frames showing him lighting anything, because I'm pretty sure that's just a decoration.

Jeez celebrating it at nearly two weeks early could make it look like a bit of acting to appease some disgruntled folk in "hymietown", as one of his spiritual forefathers would say but perish the thought it could be something so cynical.


Yeah plenty political which isn't much of a surprise to be honest but IMHO he could have at least got the date right rather than do it before a GOP conference which mightn't make it look very erm... "sincere"!

Yes but less clueless than yourself, who holds the advantage of living in the States.

Are you really suggesting that this is a ploy and as such Jewish voters are not bright enough to see for what you claim it is ?

Or are you, and this is more likely, just Obama bashing as per usual.

Who knew he was Jewish



Obama celebrates Hanukkah at White House...

TWO WEEKS EARLY?

LIGHTS ALL THE CANDLES...

Sheesh, you don't light "all" the candles at once!
This bum is trying to pull a Clinton.
When Clinton was speaking in front of Italians he was "part Italian."
If he was adressing Swedes and Norwegians in Minnisotta he was "part Swede and Norwegian."
Even when he was talking to Native American Indian groups,....yup, you guessed it, he was "part Cherokee, Apache, Crow, Comanchie, Mohawk, Lumbee," Chezks in Philadelphia,......you got it! ...fill in the blank!

Recall how people were referring to him as Barack O'Bama after he revealed that he was part Irish around St Patricks day

Or, as I said, he could follow the tradition of the house of Shammai, (which is I realize Steve, not exactly what you would call mainstream, I expect you could call it arcane...) and light them all the first night and extinguish one per night thru the 8th night)

And I expect servant, that he isn't wearing a kippah because he's reformed.

And popeye:

If he was adressing Swedes and Norwegians in Minnisotta he was "part Swede and Norwegian."

Learn to spell, as it is one of the things that makes you appear intellectually impoverished,  and no he didn't...first of all unless he was fuckin Haakon himself he wouldn't separate it, he would have said Scandinavian. You would have read of his death in the newspaper by a Norwegian. 


And further what do you have such a hard-on against a good Black Irish boy like O'bama for?   He made good and you are still chasing potato water?

It's a non-issue. It's a decoration, not an observance.

Steven, I was under the impression that the middle candle was lit on the final night?
That would "make" them all lit.
