1. This has amazing personal significance to me, thanks for sharing the photo.
Whatever happens in the next 8 years, Barack Obama is the greatest president of my lifetime.

2. This is of great significance to me as well.
What is so meaningful to me is that the photo looks so relaxed, just like a group of friends and family getting together for a seder. There is nothing pretentious or stuffy about it. Just simple, like the one we had at my house last night.

3. So glad he's our president. :)
It's like the seder we had at my parents' house a couple of nights ago.

seders many times at the home of my dearest friends.

I will treasure the moments we shared.

This photograph reminds me of those cherished memories.

What a wonderful photo!

5. Rahm and David must have gone home to their own Seder, unless
I've missed them in the pic. Very, very nice.

9. It won't be so secret if he starts singing this song come December...
It's hard to be a Jew on Christmas
My Friends won't let me join in any games..
And I can't sing Christmas songs
Or decorate a Christmas tree..
Or leave water out for Rudolph
'cause there's something wrong with me..
My people don't believe in Jesus Christ's divinity..
I'm a Jew, a lonely Jew.. on Christmas.

Hanukkah is nice, but why is it,
That Santa passes over my house every year?
And instead of eating Ham
I have to eat Kosher Latkes..
Instead of Silent Night
I'm singing hey-hach-dol-gavish..
And what the fuck is up
With lighting all these fucking Candles, tell me please?
I'm a Jew, a lonely Jew..
I'd be merry but i'm Hebrew
on christmas

- - - - -

Hey Little Boy, I can't help but hear,
You're feeling left out of Christmas Cheer..
But i've come to see that you shouldn't be sad
This is the one month that you shoud be glad..

Because it's nice to be a Jew on Christmas
You don't have to deal with the season at all..
You don't have to be on your best behavior, or give to charity
You don't have to go to grandma's house with your alcoholic family.

And I don't have to sit on some fake Santa's lap
And have him breathe his stinky breath on me!

That's right! You're a Jew, a stylin' Jew..
It's a good time, to be Hebrew.. on Christmas.


(And no, I didn't know there was a second verse either.)
