First Lady Michelle Obama hosted a “Nowruz” celebration of the Iranian New Year, throwing open the doors of the White House earlier this week to mark the official start of the Persian holiday that’s been celebrated for thousands of years.
Nowruz means “The New Day” and is the name of the Iranian New Year, marking the beginning of the year in the Persian calendar.
As a post on Downtrend notes of the White House event: “For the optics-conscious Obamas, the timing couldn’t be more perfect with the Republicans’ letter to Iran and Netanyahu’s speech still ruffling administration feathers.”
In keeping with President Obama’s public praise for Islam and the supposedly noteworthy threads of Muslim Americans woven through the fabric of the nation’s history, the first lady suggested to the Nowruz gathering something that could be considered rather curious…if not absolutely stunning.
Mrs. Obama said that a celebration like the one marking the Iranian New Year is part of the “traditions that make us who we are as a country.”

Is Nowruz a laxative?

Can’t wait for MO and her simpleton ‘husband’ to GET OUT!
Maybe I can’t read but, what is the article objecting to ?
Only read the part here on FR
However, I did listen to 1/2 her speech and 1st, let me say she looks beautiful in that outfit and her hair is also pretty.
But, 1/3 of the way into the speech she talks about the “seven s’s”
Well, uhm...what?
She never explains what the 7 s’s means
Splendor, stupid, strained????
And GW Bush reached out to the Religion of Peace© and was the first President to commemorate Eid al-Fitr in the White House.
Unfortunately it’s not just Imam Obama who likes to pay obeisance to the great enemy of western civilization.
So much for the Shores of Tripoli. Dhimmis.
Traitors.
Caption possibility 2: "If We're Nice to Them, They Will Be Nice to Us"
Pick your poison.
In other words, it certainly sounds as though Michelle Obama wants us to believe that Nowruz is much like Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July or Presidents’ Day.
I think the author is objecting to Mrs. Obama's claim that some Iranian holiday most of us have never heard of is part of our tradition as Americans.
..comes after the Bibi speech before congress & the 47 Republican senators warning letter to Iran.
That answers the mystery of the top secret drone flown into Iran for them to keep. It was a gift from the secret Muslim. Oh yeah, and their takeover of Iraq is just icing on the cake from the secret Muslim.
was wondering and Michelly is wrong if her intent is to imply that...
Sounds like it. Never heard of this before, call me ignorant. But something I do know, it is NOT part of our American traditions. MO and BO can both go to H@LL.
Tradition? Never heard of it. But then I didn’t know America was founded on islam, either.
Naw Ruz is not until March 20.
Nowruz sounds like it should be haram.
Are you saying she looks beautiful in that video? Am I missing something?
..but still the Iranian New Year, right?
...is the celebration of the traditional Iranian new year holiday
I just pray that when we get NUKED by the Muslims that ALL of the Obamas get it also.
I think she does and always thought she was a pretty girl, except when she wears that boob belt and some of the other crap outfits she’s worn...
