WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obamas got into the holiday spirit Sunday evening with a little help from Hugh Jackman, Sheryl Crow and Janelle Monae.

President Barack Obama and his family attended the 32nd annual "Christmas in Washington" concert, a benefit for the Children's National Health System. After an evening of Christmas carols at the National Building Museum, the president said Americans should remember Jesus Christ's lessons of charity and compassion.

"Through his example, he taught us that we should love the Lord, love our neighbors, as we love ourselves. It's a teaching that has endured for generations. And today, it lies at the heart of my faith and that of millions of Americans, and billions around the globe," Obama said.

"No matter who we are, or where we come from, or how we worship, it's a message of hope and devotion that can unite all of us this holiday season," he added.

Obama speaks in such a way that if you were to see his words as he spoke he would be placing platitudes on plates and he would be spinning them on a stick waiting for everyone's head to be spinning along side the plates.

It would be much easier on us if he would just pull an Oprah and give us some damn cars.

Wondered why he wasn’t at the Army Navy Game. Of course he couldn’t give a speech at the game and he might be booed out of the stadium, so I guess a party is a better choice.

I'm relieved to know that the Children's National Health System is a .org, not a .gov.

"Through his example, he taught us that we should love the Lord, love our neighbors, as we love ourselves. It's a teaching that has endured for generations. And today, it lies at the heart of my faith and that of millions of Americans, and billions around the globe," Obama said.

There is no love in communism, socialism, or forcible redistribution of wealth. Those are the most anti-Christian forms of hate in existence, and the Obamas wallow in them as they spread their hatred. I give to charity as an act of love, and I give far more than Obama and Biden combined (not that that's saying much). To give because of government force would remove all virtue from giving, which is what the anti-Christian left likes about government welfare.

"As" in the sense of "while," which is likely his interpretation & primary 'Commandment' ...

“There is no love in communism, socialism, or forcible redistribution of wealth. “

Reagan put it this way:

“And Senator Clark of Pennsylvania, another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as ‘meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government.’ Well, I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as ‘the masses.’ This is a term we haven’t applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, ‘the full power of centralized government’ — this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don’t control things. A government can’t control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.”
