President Obama to host Passover seder in WH

Posted: 01:24 PM ET

From CNN's Sarah Parker


(CNN) - How will Thursday night at the White House be different from all other nights?

President Obama will hold a Passover seder for friends and family, marking what is believed to be the first time a president has presided over the ritual feast honoring the Jews' exodus from Egypt in the White House.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

I thought maybe he was marking his exodus from the White House. :whistle:

Nothing clueless about it. Good for Obama, from the report I'd say its probably long overdue. Why should anyone care what Tehran thinks?

Good for him, though I would hope he omits some of the hateful bits from the haggadah.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
