What in the world possessed Obama to do this? [Early Hannukah]

Do they not know when white Jesus was born or something??

I bet it was Hitler.

That trick never works!

Re the OP: I’ve tried to fathom what is so heinous about Obama’s action that Terr felt compelled to share his/her outrage with the world (or at least the SDMB), but I’m afraid I need to devote my time and energy to something more productive. Think I’ll go down to the corner and watch the traffic light change.

This seals it, Obama is really a secret Muslin*!!!*

The real faux pas was when he closed his eyes, wished aloud for Santa to bring him some really good porn this year, and then blew all the candles out with one long breath.

Clearly a case of premature Hanukkalation…

You… you… you’re a real pistol!

Instantly jealous of you after reading this.

Yeah, I don’t get this complaint at all. This time of year is packed with celebrations that are of a lot of importance to a lot of people. Not only does Obama have to work around the schedules of the Rabbis and such that are attending, who probably have multiple celebrations to deal with, but also with the various Christmas celebrations, not to mention his own schedule involved with presidential duties. The dates closer to the offical date of the celebration should be reserved for the more meaningful celebrations with family or fellow believers, and the less important ones will inevitably be farther away. It’s not uncommon for companies to have their Christmas parties a couple weeks in advance–I’ve seen some as early as tonight–so why is someone who is probably much busier has more celebrations to juggle and more people’s schedules to consider being held to such a ridiculous standard? I could understand if he was celebrating it in Novemeber, but being off by 12 days seems like a reasonable amount of leeway.

Bullock? Bullwinkle? Instantly jealous?

Someone want to clue in a clueless Gentile?

Everything you ever wanted to know about the Sex Pistols album.

Schedules have to be worked around. Some years my previous boss hosted her company “Christmas” party a month after Christmas. More appropriate dates were taken up by parties with friends and family, vacations, etc.

I think we can all agree that this all started back when Fox decided to broadcast the Simpsons Halloween episodes in November. Things haven’t been right since.

Title pretty much says it all. Can’t celebrate Hannukah while Israel or America is bombing Iran without being seen as being controlled by teh Joos.

Anyone have any other idea why they celebrated Hannukah 2 weeks early?

There is already a thread on this, although the title reflects the partisan outrage rather than the topic.

Merging thread with existing thread on the topic.

So–hypothetically–the U.S. starts bombing Iran during the middle of Hannukah.

Conspiracy Theorests: Aha! Not just bombing Iran–the Americans might do that just 'cause they wanted to. But bombing Iran during Hannukah!!! That just proves that the U.S. is merely doing the bidding of its Jewish masters in Israel!
White House: No, it’s cool. Like, we celebrated Hannukah, like, weeks ago.
Conspiracy Theorests: Oh. Well all-right-y then.

:dubious:

Moving to IMHO and merging with another thread on the topic.

That I got, but why did people start mentioning Jim Bullock and Sandra Bullock to begin with?

Oh, great. Now on top of everything else, Obama’s possessed??!!!
