 Hi again!
-Well, it's a '''black day''' for America.  (I've been waiting all week to say that - if you're offended, tough).  [http://www.theonion.com/content/video/obama_win_causes_obsessive?utm_source=embedded_video His supporters] did pull it off after all.

 It is my fondest wish that my numerous concerns about the new president-elect of the US, {{wiki2|Barack Obama|Barack Hussein Obama II}}, be nothing more than the fevered imaginings of my paranoid mind.  Unfortunately, given the facts, I fear that this presidency will be bad for America -- and disastrous for the Jews of America (and not so great for us Israelis either).

 And what better time than this week, parashat [[Devar/5769/Lech Lecha|Lech Lecha]], to encourage my fellow Jews in the American diaspora to think seriously about making [[aliyah]]? If you come here, your vote will actually mean something, and you'll have a chance to live a Jewish life in the Jewish Land -- instead of praying the surrounding Gentiles continue to let you live in peace.  I'm afraid the "golden era" of Jewish life in America is coming to an end.
