None other than Emancipation Proclamation, to be read President Obama’s, friend Dr. Eric Whitaker
And here is Obama buddy Eric Lesser’s unfortunately honest explanation of the Obama Seder.

“Since they witnessed the ten plagues, which took place over the space of a whole year, it is not hard to imagine that they sided with the Jewish people out of the common human weakness for power and success, rather than a sincere devotion to truth at any cost.”
