True, but it does place doubt on the whole image of Obama's "change" that will come to America. When his father is saying something about his own son's credentials and what he will do, people begin to doubt that any change will come.

Benjamin Emanuel, a Chicago pediatrician who worked in the 1940s with the Zionist militant group Irgun, which committed acts classified by many as terrorism according to Time Magazine, said he thought his son's appointment would be good for supporters of Israel. "Obviously, he will influence the president to be pro-Israel," he was quoted as saying. "Why wouldn't he be? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to clean the floors of the White House."

Well, it isn't his fault what his father says, but it does seem odd that Obama (who people say is a Muslim) would appoint someone with a background like Rahm Emanuel's and be so friendly with AIPAC etc.

Well, it really isn't odd. He simply isn't Muslim. In fact, I could make a case that he is actually agnostic/atheist but just uses the Christian veil (which makes sense) to remain in public office. We all know how well he would have done if he revealed he wasn't as religious as he made himself out to be.:rolleyes:

Could explain what he actually has been indoctrinated with such as serving the IDF instead of good o'l US ARMY.
