Title: Obama appoints some Orthodox Jew to some big financial position
Post by: The One and Only Mo on January 22, 2013, 01:18:43 PM
I read that some guy named Lew, who is a frum yid, is Obama's new treasury guy or something like that. What's his deal?

Lew is "frum" in the same way that Wallace Fard Muhammad was.

You know this how? You are aware a Jew can be 'frum' which means he is observant of Jewish law and custom and he can be a liberal? Observance is not a political belief, it is whether or not you observe the Jewish laws...

I see the scapegoating comments already when Obama makes some dumba** choice (read: edict) that will negatively affect the public's perception of the role of Jews in American government

Of course Obama needs people with brains to do his dirty work..  If he was to rely on his own people, he'd been impeached and have a one-way ticket to Kenya a long time ago.

Exactly... The Jews are responsible for the economic crisis, not Obama and his policies... Typical for antisemites to appoint Jews to take the blame...

Well, by that standard, NKs are some of the most observant, strict Jews on the planet--for real.

I think that guy was already appointed by Obama a while back.   Maybe he got a promotion now.

He is using his status as a Jew to help and lend legitimacy to a Nazi president. He has far more credibility than NK.
