Sabbath-observant Jew named Obama's new White House chief of staff - Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel NewsWASHINGTON - A Sabbath-observant Jew was named on Monday as President Barack Obama's chief of staff, one of the most pivotal jobs in U.S. politics.
Jacob (Jack) Lew, who last served as the White House budget director, will be replacing William Daley, who resigned just one year into the job. The change will take effect at the end of the month. Daley's predecessor was another prominent Jewish political figure, Rahm Emanuel, who is now mayor of Chicago.
Over the past three years, Lew, whose son studied in a yeshiva in Israel, has developed a close working relationship with Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren, and has met several times with Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz

It's good there is a new chief of staff, but what has his religion to do with his work?
The only thing transparent about Obama is his lack of shame. It is so obvious that this appointment is a political ploy to get back some of the Jewish vote that he lost.
FYI: It behoves me as to why any Jew would have voted for him in the 1st place.

Because saying he hates Jews/Israel is a lie.
I dont think Obama hates Jews. No one has said so, to my knowledge.The only thing transparent about Obama is his lack of shame. It is so obvious that this appointment is a political ploy to get back some of the Jewish vote that he lost.

It's a funny one too. Because it comes from evangelists who on one hand "support" Israel because their new "hate du jour" is the Muslim religion and on the other hand work overtime to try to get their "jewish friends" to accept "Christ as their savior".
Or at least leave the country and go live in Israel.
So?
you got a problem with Jews?

I think Obama does hate Israel, and sees it as the primary impediment to his personal success in bringing middle east peace.
I dont know what it is with all these shomer shabbos types going over to the Democrats. Lieberman was Gore's VP choice and he recanted every position he had within about 72 hours of the appointment. Orthodox Jews are a pretty conservative bunch.
Big surprise; the ZOG has another Jew in the White House.
10 to 1 he has dual Israeli citizenship.
