Our First Jewish President?

"Writer Toni Morrison famously dubbed Bill Clinton "the first black president""”a title he fervently embraced.

Abner Mikva, the Chicago Democratic Party stalwart and former Clinton White House counsel, offers a variation on that theme. "If Clinton was our first black president, then Barack Obama is our first Jewish president," says Mikva, who was among the first to spot the potential of the skinny young law school graduate with the odd name.

"I use a Yiddish expression, yiddishe neshuma, to describe him," explains Mikva. "It means a Jewish soul. It's an expression my mother used. It means a sensitive, sympathetic personality, someone who understands where you are coming from.""

Well, this is an interesting aside. I don't know if I agree with it or not, but I'll go with what Mikva says. The entire article is pretty humorous.[/align]

I think the whole idea would so mess with the minds of the leaders' of certain middle eastern countries.

Some people really think he is the second coming, I agree but it seems like the second coming of slick willie. Complete with most of his old rejects.
