http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/he-took-the-oath-twice-what-about-that-speech/ President Barack Obama took the oath again this evening, after John Roberts, the Supreme Court’s chief justice, flubbed his delivery yesterday. en-us rkampeas@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-01-22T;06:31:00-05:00 maripaulten@comcast.net Let everybody give President Obama the space he really needs. Let us stop “picking” on little things. It could just be that there about one billion Muslims (and more every day!) and by saying Jewish last, possibly because it is the oldest of the three? By the way, he was a good friend of the Rabbi in Chicago who passed away 2 weeks ago. Give Obama a break! Let everybody give President Obama the space he really needs.

This criticism is just bizarre and further evidence of the fall of the ZOA. And to think that the ZOA was, decades ago (before Morton Klein took it over), a respected, Zionist organization.

Let them better go feed someone who’s hungry and stop crying wolf. I’m truly ashamed at my own sometimes. It really is the height of paranoia. Len/Vegas Isadora is spot on. She really said it all.

(Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” essay didn’t even mention Jews!) Jews and Hindus are relgious systems that don’t look for converts, that are internally stratified with a hierarchy of purity with a hereditary priesthood at its pinnacle, into which converts don’t readily or neatly fit it.  For anyone who has studied religion or current events, the parallels were thoughtfully and very logically structured as well as conveying a poetic rhetorical rhythm.  The criticism by the ZOA reeks of narcissistic paranoia.
