"Passover affirms the great truth that liberty is the inalienable right of every human being"

"The metaphor and reality of an African-American President hosting, in his home, a ritual dinner that teaches the profound blessings of freedom from slavery, delivery from oppression, awareness from rigidity, memory from denial, wisdom from ignorance, is just so delightfully fitting. The four questions asked by the youngest children could easily be a reflection of a community of informed, hostile, passive, or bewildered citizens . One could imagine Moses repeatedly encouraging his entourage, during the forty years in the desert, 'Yes, we can!'"
(quoted from the comments on this article)

President Obama and a collection of guests celebrated Passover Thursday evening with what White House officials believe to be the first Passover Seder dinner hosted by an American president.
