Yes, Anthony Lake is Jewish (Now) http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/what-would-barack-do/ Obama’s foreign policy adviser, Tony Lake, was at NYU today, talking to students at the Bronfman Center about why he thinks the Democratic presidential hopeful is so great. But before he got into details, Lake, who served as national security adviser in the Clinton administration, described his own history of first being mistaken for, and then actually becoming, a Jew.

You wouldn’t know truth unless it was written in the Talmud. You are Israel’s enemies not protectors. Israel is the world’s second most hated.  You are on to making it the first.

Bush’s policies --"exacerbating divisiveness within our own country"-- to Barak Obama, or Hillary Clinton.  It’s called “the big lie.” Vicious bigotry is even uglier when it festers among Jews who have suffered from it over the centuries, and “Chai’s” inclusion of Barack Obama’s middle name is a barely concealed codeword displaying some of that bigotry. Anyone whose political choices in a United States election is based first on what “is good for Israel,” should live and vote in Israel, just as any Israeli voting in Israel for what he or she believes is best for the United States (as unlikely as that may be) should live and vote in the U.S. Just maybe worse than “misplaced white guilt” is sinat chinam, and ironically attributing one of the major vices of George W.

A vote for Obama is a vote against Israel and Judaism...don’t be foolish enough to believe otherwise.  Not to mention what he’ll do to exacerbate divisiveness within our own country.  WAKE UP AMERICA before it’s gone!

Well, I for one am not comforted - and not pleased about the JTA, Anthony Lake or Obama.
