President Obama Hosts First Seder at White House

Last night the First Family hosted the very first Seder in the White House! I had no idea that no other President prior to Obama has done this. Of course, I'm totally amazed and elated. I'm sure it was political posturing, but even so, the reality of it being the first time ever, says alot.

But, has the President opened himself up to future criticism if he does not extend the same courtesy to other religions and their holidays? Or if he does offer the same invitations, how will it be accepted by the public?

Hey Geo! I agree. So do you think he will he be doing this sort of thing with all other major religions?

Geonite said...

I hope so. It would be a great way to break down social differences.

On the other hand, if he tries to celebrate a Muslim holiday...LOL! Need I spell it out?

I think he will though. He's too classy to let the idiots dictate his actions.

Social barriers! that's the word I was looking for :-S

I agree, but I also have to admit it will be very interesting when Ramadan comes around to see if anything is planned.
