    why did you have to add the Hussein part!
    i think you wanted people to make a fuss

  • No-Pride

    I wonder if the Shliach will brag he Shook Obama’s hand .. when Obama demands Israel to give away land?

    Bush never demanded Israel to give away land … he did only after Israel suggested ‘good will’ gestures.

    All you liberal democrats out there .. beware what you wish for.

    Shalom Alechem Rabbosai,

    Baruch Hashem one of the Presidential Candidates has visited Sderot. Meritz Hashem He and other Americans will be more cogniscent of the suffering and misery caused to the Yidden there by the Arabs in Gaza. It is time for US political action to protect the Sderot civiliams from the perpetual bombing. The Yidden there deserve to live b’shaloym like we do in the USA. Baruch Hashem only good things come to them from this and future visits.

    Kol Tov,

  • endorsing obama?

    Rabbis (esp. Shluchim) and politics don’t mix. WHat is he thinking? Does he know anything about this guy? Is this what Chabad needs?

  • shloimi

    The best advertisement against obama would be to simply advertise the same posters of him which is seen all over but with a little change: instead of writing Obama, write Hussein osama.

    Sadam Hussein, Osama Bin-Ladin

  • A JEWISH OSTRICH

    OY GEVALT! Here I thought he was NOT an idiot that just happens to be a jew hating ARAB shvartzer, and you HAD to ruin it all! Shame on you for putting in his TRUE full name.

    What is the world coming to!

  • trouble

    he should have been bombed that anti Israel/ anti semetic liar. Look at what his “clergy” said. Is this what we want to lead our nation.

  • funny

    funny that someone with the name hussein could the the president of the usa!!!

  • not fooled!

    Just because he visited Eretz Yisroel doesn’t make him a Jew lover! It doesn’t erase the years of anti-semitic/anti-American preaching he heard from his preacher/pastor! He’s only trying to shore-up the Jewish vote and then I promise you he will renege on evreything he said to the Israelis. For all who were taken in by his formal ‘resignation’ from his church, mark my words, the sone yisroel will be right next to Obama when he is sworn in if he wins the election. I think the biggest problem that Jews have is that they are very stubborn coupled with a very short memory. The same thing happened with Hilarious Clinton, she kisses and showers affection on Arafat’s wife then she comes back and courts the Jewish vote AND GETS IT??!! REMEMBER ONE THING, a politician will do and say anything to get elected, without ever meaning it sincerely. Chochom eynov b’rosho!

    Simply more propoganda to win the election. He wants the Jewish vote bad, and besides he had to beat McCain at the Kosel. Why did you even humor the convenient event with pictures. A thumbnail picture would have been quite enough.

  • to Out of place

    to: Out of place:
    does wearing his jacket make him a good president or not a descendant of a jew hater?

  • Morrie

    Obama will be next US President. Will Chabadniks support him or be left behind? Smell the coffee, this is the real thing! Tachlis. McCain will not win. Shluchim need White House support regular DC Chabad networks cannot provide.

  • friend of Sderot

    Where is the other Shliach to Sderot who actually speaks english and might have been able to explain to Obama what really goes on in that city????

  • Wake up!

    “Make a fuss?” Perhaps the inclusion of Obama’s middle name, Hussein, has something to do with his many questionable and troubling associations? Shouldn’t we be asking ourselves why all our enemies — as Jews and as Americans — are excitedly anticipating his election? Wake up! Be alarmed!

  • What Change?

    Obama is very articulate, and very convincing, and very into change. What change? Think beyond the porridge, the media is spoon-feeding to us. This guy is dangerous, and it is quite alarming how he got to this far in the game, and he has a very good chance of winning. Excellent in fact.

  • just a regular jew

    notice the groupthink that surrounds obama’s candidacy. What’s his middle name have to do with anything? I am voting for him. People who are racists and bigots are not people i trust to think for me.

  • The messiah of the Media

    Google McCain and you will find that he as gone to the Kosel and Sderot. Did the Media cover it? Obama is the darling of the media … he could do no wrong. McCain does exact trip .. and no where does he get press coverage. Obama is the messiah for the liberals.

  • Undignified

    No normal person who seeks a high position campains without wearing a jacket. A tie and jacket is a sign of dignity. this guy left his dignity somewhere where we leave unwanted things.
