Hussein Obama: Celebrating soul, but not Jewish heritage

I'm sure that many of you remember Jewish Heritage month, the event at which former White House correspondent Helen Thomas was outed as an anti-Semite.

You may all remember it, but the White House would like to forget it. The Obama administration is taking advantage of the sequester to cancel Jewish Heritage Month. Here are some of the other events that the White House deems more important (Hat Tip: MFS - The Other News).

The sequester cuts kicked in March 1, but that hasn’t stopped the White House from staging a variety of fun events marking all sorts of occasions.

The celebration of St. Patrick’s Day last month included an East Room bash with hundreds of guests and a separate breakfast party at the vice president’s residence.

Tuesday, the Obamas took in an exclusive viewing in the White House theater of the movie “42,” which chronicles the life of Jackie Robinson, with the film’s cast and crew. Earlier, in the day, Michelle hosted a “42 Film Workshop” for kids in the State Dining Room that featured Harrison Ford.

Obama even got in a reception for the Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings and major league soccer champs LA Galaxy on March 26. And there’s money around to transport him to the golf links, where he traveled by motorcade last weekend.

Next Tuesday, the Obamas will be treated to a command East Room performance “celebrating” Memphis soul music, with performances by stars like Justin Timberlake and Queen Latifah.

F**k the Jews - they'll vote for us anyway.
