'Rahmbo' takes Washington with Obama
ALLISON HOFFMAN, Jerusalem Post correspondent in New York , THE JERUSALEM POST
On Rosh Hashana, Rahm Emanuel called his rabbi with a question: Could he violate the holiday to sit in on a conference call about the $700 billion bank bailout package that congressional Democrats were fiercely trying to revive?
It didn't take long for Rabbi Asher Lopatin, who heads Emanuel's modern Orthodox congregation in suburban Chicago, to give him an answer.
"I told him it was my halachic opinion that the financial system was on the point of failing and it could be a disaster, and this was a matter of life and death, to get this passed, as long as the violation was kept to a minimum," Lopatin told The Jerusalem Post.
"This is modern Orthodoxy at work - committed to Judaism, but committed to making it a better world," Lopatin said.
Imagine a member of Congress calling his Imam before dealing with the nation's financial crisis. Imagine if Obama called TD Jakes before the bailout.
Why aren't the Devout Atheists and Radical Secularists screaming "SEPARATION of CHURCH N STATE!!" when a Jewish Congressman asks permission from his Rabbi to "save the nation"?

Well then all hell would break lose, I suppose. If Obama were to even (not call) smile at an Imam....the media would go crazy....
"...the terror connection"
"..Obama greets local Imam....ties to Al-Qaeda.."
I mean we could all get creative here....
but interesting post....
thanx for following my blog even though I have nothing there...means a lot, i'll get workin on it sometime soon hopefully:)
"We will kill bin Laden. We will crush al Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national security priority," Obama said during the presidential debate on October 7.
Obama plans to send more troops into Afghanistan to push back the growing Taliban insurgency, but experts warn there could be severe consequences.
Looks like Obama is picking right up where Dubya left off. Even though Alquda has already been debunked on this blog as a C1A PR stunt (The Power Of Nightmares), Obama the loyal Hebrew handservant is already ramping up more Zionist military presence in the Mid East.
Uhhhh...aren't we already $10 trillion in debt and about to capsize? And this fool wants to expand military ops on some wild goose hunt? We can't afford to spend the $10 billion/month in Iraq, much less more in Afghanistan or Iran now!
IMO, we need to withdraw all troops NOW and refocus 90% attention and funds on domestic problems at home. Sorry, but when you're ass-broke, the roadtrips to Disneyworld gots ta go!
I love how the Jew Yorker prints a cover shot of Obama as a militant Muslim...with no evidence.
Meanwhile, now that his new COS is a Mossad agent and his Senior Advisor will likely also be Jewish (David Axelrod)...how come there is no similar cover of him as a militant Zionist in a skullcap???
I usually can't get down with much of your Jew stuff, but that is a clear double standard right there.
Last week, Benjamin Emanuel talked about his son Rahm Emanuel's new job and told the Israeli daily Ma'ariv that "obviously he'll influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn't he? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to be mopping floors at the White House."
Nuff said!
