Barack Obama's Diary: To Hava, Or to Hava Not

Posted on the 25 March 2013 by Hughvw
Dear Diary:  We hosted guests for Passover seder this evening, I immediately regretted inviting Joe  who regaled us with tales of meeting the Pope. I tried to distract our guests with a rousing rendition of Hava Nagila.  But, no sooner had I loudly uttered the word "Hava" when an aide whispered urgently to me, "Wrong occasion, Sir". Awkwaard. I had forgotten that seders not a celebration but about Exodus, the Jews leaving Egypt.  I  have left Egypt several times, but no-one gives me credit for that. But enough about me.
