1. Whose monkey edited this article – YWN’s, or the New York Post’s? The first sentence says President Obama will meet with “film directors, bankers and media moguls”, and the next sentence says the president will meet with “Jewish Leaders”, implying (perhaps unintentionally) that “film directors, bankers and media moguls” are “Jewish Leaders”. Maybe the editor of this article is the same monkey that wrote the anti-Semitic screeds that Ron Paul published. Of course, with YWN and the New York Post, it is possible that the editor of the article is not anti-Semitic, but simply a … monkey.

2. Do you HAVE TO keep showing his picture???

3. No need to get angry, just read carefully. The first line states who is attending while the other line states the Jewish leaders will be present as well.

4. Agree with nfgo3: poorly written.
   Obama will first have a meeting with Jewish supporters and, later, a dinner reception hosted film director Spike Lee.

5. I don’t know who defines the people attending as Jewish Leaders…I would call them Jewish Liberals. They are entitled to their opinions, but support of President Obama for relection can’t be on the agenda of most realistic American Jews…myself included.

   Stopping being lazy and read 1)the byline which has it in quotes and 2)the article that doesn’t mention “film directors,bankers and media moguls” that have anything to do with Jewish leaders but rather Spike Lee and his wife and hosting something and then it mentions another event by “Jewish leaders” -who are leaders only defined by the New York Post

7. What makes these people “Jewish Leaders” ? They certainly do not represent me !

8. It is very disconcerting that YWN has become an on line punching bag for the most pro-Israel president in generations.

9. To No. 6: Apparently the answer to my question – who edited this article – is YWN’s monkey. After reading your gibberish, I linked to the NY Post article identified by YWN as the source of this article, and it would appear that YWN wrote this article based upon the NY Post article, which named one of the movie directors, Spike Lee, who as far as I know is not a “Jewish leader”. Your comment implies that Mr. Lee was named in the YWN article, which is not the case.

   And speaking of lazy, why not take some time to learn that “byline” and “headline” are not synonyms, and that the use of quotation marks in the manner used in the headline of this article implies, crudely and inartfully, that the persons to be met are not truly “Jewish leaders.” The article then names two persons who are to meet with President Obama, without explaining why they are either genuine or faux “Jewish leaders”.

10. reaction on which planet do you live. obama is not only an Israel basher he is dangerous as president for the entire world.

11. No. 2: I am not sure why you object to the photo accompanying this article, but I object because it implies that the Daniel Restaurant, apparently a fancy-schmancy Upper East Side eatery, serves its cuisine in paper cups with lids, and the customers eat with their hands. That is unfair to the restaurant. It is also unfair to the person in the picture, as it implies that he does not know how to eat in a fancy-schmancy Upper East Side eatery. Perhaps that is your objection.
