Rabbi Capers C. Funnye

Democratic U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama, who has been struggling to gain the Jewish vote, could have taken advantage of his wife’s cousin who’s one of the most distinguished black rabbis in the U.S. Still, this has almost slipped media attenti

Pres. Obama may not be a Muslim, but wasn't his father? He favors them; when he visits Africa, he skips the Christian countries, doesn't he and visits the Muslim ones; my source, AM radio 1400 Detroit from a black ministers' program on Saturdays who are Christian and do not favor Obama's policies.

There is no point in trying to establish spurious "family connections". A useless exercise aimed at self-delussion. This President has made his stance open and clearly, supported, if not lead, by the Clintons and their previous anti Isreal cohorts ( Baker et all ). We have only one major ally, The Almighty. May we see better days in our time.

To be a Jew, is not about color or any other trait. But rather to be part of the house of Israel, and to be part of a quarom, and pray along side of me, as by brother.

Pres. Obama in my opinion, has and will go down in history as the Great deceiver of all times. My thoughts and prayers are for his wife and children's , they are victims of the unseen realities of the President's life.

Didn't Obama in his own words say, in his book The Audacity of Hope, " that should the political winds turn in an ugly direction that he would stand with the Muslims?" Clearly he is not on the Christians side. PRAY,PRAY,PRAY

Obama has very strong ties with the Nation of Islam, such as Louis Farakhan, Black Panthers, Reverend Wright and William Ayers. The Obama administration should stop putting pressure on Israel regarding their settlements. after all, Obama stated we should not meddle in other countries business...or does that only apply to Iran.

One does not awaken in the morning and say, today, and from now on, I will be a Jew. To be a Jew, you must have a Jewish mother. This "Rabbi" has no Jewish mother. Did he convert according to the Halacha? More facts are needed if he is to be believed.

The Ethiopian Jews have a totally different look! They actually look Jewish except for the color of their skin. They are beautiful & have Yiddish Chein! This guy is a Farce as his nephew the Muslim who never had a bit of love for America or it's people, because they are not HIS PEOPLE!!!! He is a Muslim who HATES Americans & shuns all Liberties! He is here to demolish America & as we can all see, he is doing a great job of it! H-Shem Yerachaim!!!

Obama has yet to prove his abilities as a leader of our nation. He is certainly socialistic in his views for change in the US. The people with a good income are not the enemy of the nation. In apt Government management is large part of the issues. Our Congress needs in service to educate its members so they can better work as a unit with our President. Let us remember Obama is a novice on the big stage of politics and has little knowledge and experience in Foreign Policy. People wanted change so bad they seem to be willing to except mediocrity and modest change rather then a will formed plan that could be successful. Not being being with a strong thought out plan is a way of the past and there more than a few examples in our past history.

The person is right, who said 'you can't just wake up one morning & decide from now on I'll be a Jew.' Why? Because you have to have a Jewish mother ( whose mother was born Jewish or who converted according to Halacha) or you yourself have a valid conversion according to Halacha. It is interesting how this preacher's group claims to be 'Black Ethiopian Hebrew' but has no connection with the actual Black Ethiopian Hebrews who immigrated from Ethiopia to Israel and are now integrated into Israeli life. Nor does his group have a connection with the self-proclaimed Black Hebrews who arrived...mostly illegally...from USA some 35 or so years ago...in Israel. It would be interesting to know what his real background and training are, as well as what he actually preaches and teaches to his congregation. Just a 'connection' with the Rahm Emmanuel crowd and the very rich Chicago Jews who helped Obama get elected, is nowhere nearly enough to establish real Jewish credentials...just as it wouldn't be enough to establish a person who emerged from 'wherever', to stand up, claim to be Catholic and start up his own church!!

Many people have had been deluded. Barak Hussein Obama has a Muslim name. He was fathered by a Muslim father. He was brought up going to mosque with his Muslim step-father. He joined a church where the pastor is a fan of the Muslim, Louis Farakhan. He, himself, claimed that he would take the side of the Muslims in his book. Maybe people WANT to believe he has connections to the Jews! One thing is for sure, he is NOT a friend of Israel.

Obama is first and foremost and American. He wants a better country for his daughters and for all Americans. He is smarter than what most give him credit for. Things will get better under his guidance. Just you wait and see.
