I happened to be flipping through the cable and saw some of the roast on cspan.

So the republicans tried to make jews worry that Obama wasn’t strong supporter of Israel.
Fact
White House Chief of Staff Raum Emanuel is an Israeli(parents) American, he trained in military, worked at Israeli air bases during 1991 gulf war.
That’s typical GOP strategy, the same as they did in 2004 making everyone think the gays would invade the planet. Just like they tried to say Obama’s economic policies will bring the economy to screaching halt, like it’s not at a screaching halt now.
As a side note, when I was a little kid in the 1960’s and early 1970’s we would get cards that said both Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Seemed to work out fine.
I take what partisans on both sides say with a grain of salt. I like to see the person for myself and not rely on third parties suchas talk radio, Fog News (ie.. GOP TV) or even (let me coin a new phrase) Obama TV (MSNBC) to make up my mind for me.
