William E Borah was born a Jew. The Baroh’s in Seattle Spell it a nother way. Are they cousin’s.
Isaac Baroh went to Idaho in 1916 or1917 from Seattle, Washington.They were from the Island of Mamara, in Turkey.
It sounds like the Bush Family didn;t like Jew;s.
I was in World War 11, in the Pacific. I was on the C K Bronson, we had picked up out of water,
Bush’s father that was shot down some where in the Battle of Lettey Gulf, around Luzon.
Bronfeld he was German, of course he did not like Jew’s

True, but Rumsfeld could have had similar reasons for not mentioning Borah — i.e., wanting to implicate present-day Democratic leadership rather than make an historical reference. And regardless of Rumsfeld’s motives for not mentioning Borah by name, Pres. Bush’s motives could still have been what I speculated (or not, but the earlier reference by Rumsfeld does not really bear on Bush’s motives).

“I know exactly why he did not refer to Borah by name. He did not refer to Borah by name because the quote was intended to suggest that Sen. Barack Obama supports negotiating with Hitler ….”

That’s possible, but if you read the Rumsfeld speech, he used pretty similar language and also did not name Borah. And Obama wasn’t in the picture then. The intent may have been to draw attention away from specifics of the past (if so, it worked, thanks to the media), but if so, it wasn’t invented for this occasion.
