White House Holiday Tree
« on: January 04, 2010, 05:33:05 PM »
I just heard this today, for the first time, and it shocked me! I would like to get your opinion on this.  Pictures were produced today showing the Obama "Holiday" Tree and the ornaments hanging on the tree.  Apparently, this past season, Michelle Obama sent out a variety of plain ornaments for the "community" to decorate, send back to the White House, to be hung on their tree.

Two ornaments stood out.  One ornament with Mao's face shellacked on it and the other with Mount Rushmore, but with a slight alteration, that being of Obama's face pasted over one of our Mount Rushmore Presidents. These two ornaments hung brightly on their tree.

Now you could make the case that I am starting this thread because I am taking an "emotional" stance.  I'm not. I am a born citizen of the USofA and I am pissed, based on principle!  This President and his wife are pushing their anti-American position too far.  Period.

Any thoughts on this?

Beck was talking about this on his show this evening.....to say he was livid is an understatement!

Question is....just how many Americans will hear about this...and if they do....how many will voice their outrage?

And what will be the end result?

Not a damn thing.

However, Lady....I agree with you. I, too, am outraged.

But as some Republican congressman said a couple of weeks ago on Fox....at some point you just reach over saturation of outrage....you just can't be any further outraged than the point you reach.

I have reached that point.

Nothing surprises me anymore that happens with this president and his merry band of idiots.

I heard yesterday that Michelle has 13 assistants!! The most any first lady has every had is 3 and that was Lady Bird Johnson. Most only have had one or two.

What concerns me more than anything else is....there are THREE MORE YEARS OF THIS CRAP....what condition will this country be in by then.... :bawl:

barack and michelle are fools hopelessly out of their depth, unfortunately for us their staff are equally incompetent.  We and others have been saying since barack announced he was running that the man is a flaming socialist - God help the Republic if we can't kick him out in 2012.


By the way this was covered here weeks ago and should not be in breaking news.

Sorry, I did not know that.  As I just heard about it today and also just saw the pictures.  To me, it is "Breaking News".  Maybe a better area would have been "General Discussion".  Ah, to be a Newbie... :(

White House pegged controversial designer Simon Doonan to oversee the Christmas decorations for the White House. Mr. Doonan, who is creative director of Barney’s New York has often caused a stir with his design choices. Like his naughty yuletide window display of Margaret Thatcher as a dowdy dominatrix and Dan Quayle as a ventriloquist’s dummy. For this year’s White House, he didn’t disappoint.

Obama's Christmas czar?

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."
