BS”D
Funny you say that because in my community all of the foreigners except me are from E”Y and they think of Obama the way they would think of a Sefardi becoming prime minister of E”Y – way past time and something to be proud of. Some of the local Jews think the same way – mostly the students with nothing to lose as opposed to my fellow businessmen who are suffering and know that if the US goes down we can all sink.
They don’t understand US politics and they don’t realize I am opposed to him because I remember Carter and it is his policies and not his origins that bother me – already he looks like another Carter with his request that EY should open the borders of Gaza. I don’t agree with a lot of what Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell did when in office but I would probably have voted absentee – a BIG tircha that would cost me $400 and 2 days time – for either one of them had they run on either party.
But are you OK today Syrian? Some of your posts today were kind of hard to understand (and now this which I assure you is not the case – I am a Lubavitcher and no one dislikes me here even though some people here undoubtedly have differences with Chabad or their perception of it), like you are tired or distracted – but that doesn’t mean they are reason for anyone to dislike you chas vesholom.
