Obama and the Unhappy Jews

Ok, so Obama won. Congrats. A lot of questions about his past as well as future policies remain. As I have mentioned, I do not subscribe to his socialist views, but at this point it doesn’t matter. What solace I have come to is the fact that chazal say that kings have no bechirah, so in the end it’s all Hashem’s will anyway.

On a different note, I have been monitoring the VIN site for responses to the Obama win. As of today, Obama has selected two Jews to high posts in his administration (Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor). Is this good or bad for the Jews? The question has led the VIN “pundits” to voice opinions in both directions? My opinion? We will never be unanimous.

Which leads me to my final point...We will never be unanimous.
