The original story printed here suggests that DNC staffer Ryan Banfill poked fun at the Holocaust by stating ironically, “This is about remembering the Holocaust. Never forget.” Ryan, who is married to a Jewish woman and raising his kids Jewish, has written me what appears to be a heartfelt note stating unquivocally and passionately that his statement was not meant to be ironic. Ryan wrote: I

President Obama has been working the Hispanic vote as of late, staging a series of events designed to let Latinos know that he cares, with the unstated notion that if they care to vote for him that’s fine.

President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu went to extraordinary lengths today to showed they had made up, possibly even kissed too, explaining to the world and U.S. Jewish voters that the relationship between Israel and the United States . . . is just wonderful. Obama showed unprecedented rudeness to a foreign leader – that I’ve seen covering the White House anyway – last time

Wait, wait, wait, wait. My eyes are getting so bad. It says “Jewish American Heritage Month.” Will this help give the prez license to F with Bibi without losing the Cleveland suburb Jews? Time shall tell. From the White House on this afternoon’s gathering, which should be wrapping up about now: Approximately 200 guests are expected, including a range of community leaders and prominent Jewish
