Happy Birthday enigmaticblues - may the coming year gift you with more happy memories than you'll know what to do with! *hugs*

And (via rahmbamarama) I bring you this: US President Barack Obama will celebrate Passover Thursday night with staff and friends in what is believed to be the first White House Seder attended by an American president.

What made it stand out was this quote from the end:

Rabinowitz said that though he hadn't been invited, "I'm only sorry that I won't be there to see the president and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel say at the same time, 'Once we were all slaves. Now we are all free.'"

Wishing a very Happy Passover to those who celebrate! :)

'Twas the least I could do! (Actually, that's pretty accurate... *g*)

And I just *had* to share the quote!

Thanks for that. The man just keeps getting more awesome. The part that got me was how he went all 'We need a Seder, stat!' in the middle of a campaign stop last year.

It was nice to see something positive after hearing my brother and his wife rant about Obama all weekend.

Also, LJ still can't spell Obama.

Sharing things makes me happy. :)

And I wonder if LJ can spell Putin... Ooooh, it can! How about Medvedev? Hmmm, no. We ought to write to them about the spelling thing!
