Obama, the Interpreter of the Message of Passover Israel National News

Passover - ShalomImage by paurian via FlickrFor over 2000 years now People who have became Christian through Jesus Christ have begun to celebrate Passover. Though I can see the point they have here with Obama trying to blend in it with the Islamic brotherhood, we can see many of the Jews still don't quite understand why Christians celebrate Passover.
Fact is, If the Christian is taught right by their leaders they full understand the Slavery that was involved in Egypt and the miracles that took place when Moses said let my people go.

Many don't realize as well. that it was Passover when they sacrificed the sacrificial Lamb. Even though most even in Israel today never realized that Jesus the Christ was the one Sacrifice in place of the natural Lamb the day they hung him up for all to see and drained his blood from his body. In turn creating yet another Passover with many Miracles that followed. Including the day he rose from the dead..

As I see the World events happening I can also see how people like Obama keep trying to twist the history books and Constitutions to make it sound different and claim its as he says. Just like what he is trying to do in this article.

The fact is. Passover about the Freedom of the Jewish people. God's people. from the hardcore slavery from Egypt and their false gods. We cannot forget all the events it took for them to be able to leave either. Let alone. The monuments and mysteries of the Pyramids? It's a major symbol of their slavery. Not much of a mystery..
Seeing the way Obama keeps trying to act like he is part of everything like this though really makes me wonder what his motives really are.

Be sure to read the full article here at Israel National News
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/143637
Passover recalls the bondage and suffering of Jews in Egypt and the miracle of the Exodus, but U.S. President Barack Obama says its message is reflected in Muslim uprisings.
In his annual message, prior to his third straight participation in the Passover Seder, President Obama stated, “The story of Passover…instructs each generation to remember its past, while appreciating the beauty of freedom and the responsibility it entails. This year that ancient instruction is reflected in the daily headlines as we see modern stories of social transformation and liberation unfolding in the Middle East and North Africa.”
<A href='http://adserver.webads.co.il/servlet/click/zone?zid=396&pid=3&lookup=true&position=1' target='_top'> <IMG src='http://adserver.webads.co.il/servlet/view/banner/image/zone?zid=396&pid=3&position=1' height='250' width='300' hspace='0' vspace='0' border='0' alt='Click Here!'> </A>
Having constructed a link between the Arab uprisings and Chosen People's experiencing the miracles of the Creator that led them out of Egypt and towards the receiving of the Ten Commandments, the President concluded, "As Jewish families gather for this joyous celebration of freedom, let us all be thankful for the gifts that have been bestowed upon us, and let us work to alleviate the suffering, poverty, injustice, and hunger of those who are not yet free.”
For good measure, he also added the Hebrew term “Chag Samayach,” which means “Have a happy holiday.”
President Obama chanced into a Seder during his presidential campaign in 2008, when the polls were not in his favor. At the end of the Seder, when Jews chanted, "Next year in Jerusalem,” Obama responded, “Next year in the White House.”
His attendance at the Seder resulted in his meeting with Eric Lesser, one of his Jewish backers, according to Lauren Salkeld, writing for the epicurious.com website. Despite the heavy campaign schedule, Lesser and two friends organized a makeshift Seder in a hotel basement. As they began, Obama popped in and asked, “Is this a Seder? Can I join?”
After having made it the White House, President Obama held another Seder last year, complete with all of the Jewish customs, and plans to do so again this year in the White House’s Old Family Dining Room.
The phenomenon of non-Jews arranging and participating in Seders in the United States has spread so much that Diane Cole wrote in The Wall Street Journal this week, “Is Passover the new Christmas,” referring to the dilution of Hanukah by detached Jews and non-Jews who try to mix the two holidays together as part of “brotherhood.”
Cole wrote that even many churches today hold their own Seders, despite the exclusive Jewish concept of remembering slavery and Exodus.

Fleebagging Wisconsin Democrat Lawmakers Should be Arrested

Madison Wisconsin Protest, Capitol Square [IMG...Image by OnTask via Flickr It really gets me to see how these people are supposed to be leading and working for the people of their own state and to watch them just up and leave without doing their jobs.
As I said before. Where in the World can anyone have a job that you can up and leave the State without notice and during the time the job has to be done, that you would still be able to have that job? Nowhere! These people here need to be Fired just like everyone else would be.
To see that they are facing to be arrested? Now that totally means someone is on the right track here.
We vote for people to help lead our cities, states and country. Not to run away and go party in another state. These people remind me of kids in High School.
Time to ditch the class.  Read the full story below.

The 14 Wisconsin state senators say they will be home soon. They believe the two-plus weeks they have not shown up for work, and instead wasted taxpayer monies hiding out in an Illinois hotel, has been “disastrous” for Republican Governor Scott Walker. Don’t they wish.
Wisconsin 14
Before coming home the AWOL Democrats have to convince Republicans to lift the Contempt of Court order all 14 of them are facing when they cross back into Wisconsin, which includes being taken into custody by state law enforcement – meaning they must do some begging and bargaining to save their wretched hides from becoming a spectacle – a sort of senatorial perp walk.
The Wall Street Journal:
Sen. Mark Miller said he and his fellow Democrats intend to let the full Senate vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s “budget-repair” bill, which includes the proposed limits on public unions’ collective bargaining rights. The bill, which had been blocked because the missing Democrats were needed for the Senate to have enough members present to consider the bill, is expected to pass the Republican-controlled chamber…
“We are now looking at returning to the state capitol and requiring the senators to take a vote and have them declare who they’re with — the workers or the governor,” Mr. Miller said.
Had they done their job back in mid-February, Republicans and Democrats would have voted. The Republican budget repair bill would have passed, and Republicans would have taken the blame for being the grown-ups in the room and saving Wisconsin from financial ruin. Come election day 2012, I suspect Walker comes out on top. Maybe, maybe not, but Walker and most of the GOP seems willing to do the right thing, no matter the political consequences.

DETROIT SHRINKS ITSELF, HISTORIC HOMES AND ALL

clipped from www.ncpa.org

Wrecking crews are preparing to tear down a landmark 5,000-square-foot house in the posh neighborhood of Palmer Woods in the coming weeks, a sign that Detroit is finally getting serious about razing thousands of vacant and abandoned structures across the city, says the Wall Street Journal.

In leveling 1860 Balmoral Drive, the boyhood home of one-time presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Detroit is losing a small piece of its history.  But the project is part of a demolition effort that is just now gaining momentum and could help define the city's future, says the Journal:


  • Detroit is finally chipping away at a glut of abandoned homes that has been piling up for decades, and intends to take advantage of warm weather and new federal funding to demolish some 3,000 buildings by the end of September.
  • "When it's all over, there's going to be a lot of empty space,

    Is a Biometric Identify Card the Key to Immigration Reform? - TIME


    Could a national identity card help resolve the heated immigration-reform divide? Two Senators, New York Democrat Chuck Schumer and South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, certainly seem to think so. They recently presented an immigration-bill blueprint to President Barack Obama that includes a proposal to issue a biometric ID card — one that would contain physical data such as fingerprints or retinal scans — to all working Americans. The "enhanced Social Security card" is being touted as a way to curb illegal immigration by giving employers the power to quickly and accurately determine who is eligible to work. "If you say [illegal immigrants] can't get a job when they come here, you'll stop it," Schumer told the Wall Street Journal. Proponents also hope legal hiring will be easier for employers if there's a single go-to document instead of the 26 that new employees can currently use to show they're authorized to work. But with a congressional skirmish over comprehensiv e immigration reform on the horizon, skeptics from the left and the right have raised numerous concerns about the biometric ID — some of which pop up every time a form of national identification is proposed, and some that hinge on the shape this plan ultimately takes.

        Oregon Passes Tax Boost on Wealthy, Corporations - WSJ.com

        City of PortlandImage via Wikipedia

        • "PORTLAND, Ore.—Oregon voters approved two special tax measures Tuesday designed to close a $733 million state budget gap. With 80% of the expected vote tallied, the Associated Press reported "yes" voters for Measures 66 and 67 garnered about 54% of Oregon's mail-in ballots. Elections here are by mailed ballot only. Tuesday was the last day ballots could be cast. Measure 66 increases Oregon's personal-income-tax rate by two percentage points for households earning over $250,000 a year. Measure 67 calls for an increase in the state's minimum corporate income tax, currently $10 a year, and imposes a tax on gross revenues for corporations that do not report a profit. The Oregon Legislature approved both tax increases last year, however opponents of the measures—chiefly business groups—sponsored a referendum campaign to put them to a statewide vote. Voters in this heavily Democratic state supported the legislators. "Passage of these measures means we keep core services of education, health care and public safety that Oregon families, businesses, and communities count on," said Oregon House Speaker Dave Hunt, a Democrat who represents Clackamas County. Defeat, he said, would have forced the state to cut nearly a billion dollars more from such services. The twin ballot measures also served as a gauge of anti-business populism and highlighted a nationwide debate over whether to fix state budgets by targeting the affluent. But they also fueled resentment of "tax and spend" legislators, as well as public-employee unions whose members enjoy job security at a time when thousands here have lost jobs. "

        Israeli Robots Remake Battlefield - WSJ.com

        CREECH AIR FORCE BASE, NV - AUGUST 08:  U.S. A...Image by Getty Images via Daylife

        • Be sure to see the video on the link to the article.

          "TEL AVIV, Israel – Israel is developing an army of robotic fighting machines that offers a window onto the potential future of warfare. Sixty years of near-constant war, a low tolerance for enduring casualties in conflict, and its high-tech industry have long made Israel one of the world's leading innovators of military robotics. WSJ's Charles Levinson reports from Jerusalem to discuss Israel's development of robotic, unmanned combat systems. He tells Simon Constable on the News Hub how they are deploying unmanned boats, ground vehicles and aerial vehicles. "We're trying to get to unmanned vehicles everywhere on the battlefield for each platoon in the field," says Lt. Col. Oren Berebbi, head of the Israel Defense Forces' technology branch. "We can do more and more missions without putting a soldier at risk." In 10 to 15 years, one-third of Israel's military machines will be unmanned, predicts Giora Katz, vice president of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., one of Israel's leading weapons manufacturers. "We are moving into the robotic era," says Mr. Katz. Over 40 countries have military-robotics programs today. The U.S. and much of the rest of the world is betting big on the role of aerial drones: Even Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite guerrilla force in Lebanon, flew four Iranian-made drones against Israel during the 2006 Lebanon War. When the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, it had just a handful of drones. Today, U.S. forces have around 7,000 unmanned vehicles in the air and an additional 12,000 on the ground, used for tasks including reconnaissance, airstrikes and bomb disposal. In 2009, for the first time, the U.S. Air Force trained more "pilots" for unmanned aircraft than for manned fighters and bombers."
