This is the same type of Menorah Obama used.
As you can see the middle holder is to the side and below the others
The star of David is in the middle like some others.
There are many many styles of Menorah's.
So I was wrong about him placing the candle outside of it's holder
So it was not a hidden message about the 24th of December.
 
But I am certainly not in defence of Obama.
I do not put it past him or those in charge re some subliminal message re this.
