I wonder what the next President’s gingerbread house will look like.

I am amazed that he has not yet ordered the WH to be painted dark brown and renamed it.

I went and looked at lots of photos of the Whitehouse gingerbread houses. They do one every year or at least have done them since the Bushes were there. They all were either all white or gingerbread color. I couldn’t find one that was chocolate. If they were going to use chocolate, what you’re missing here is that dark chocolate is less likely to be exploiting children. It’s a complicated issue but I know that when I make my annual trip to Ten Thousand Villages if I buy chocolate there its dark and they explain why.

But back to this house - yes, it’s ugly. It does look like carved shit. That is not a racist comment. Dark skin can look lovely - glowing - but carved chocolate, dark chocolate, does not glow. It just sits there and looks like it needs icing. So poor esthetic choice but that’s all. I do feel bad for the chef you was told what materials to use and I’m pretty sure, did not like the results.

The two 0s truly believe that Americans will not see the difference in them and ourselves. As they feel to be something special, they must constant remind WTP just WHO THEY ARE. They are black and special due to that fact. They don’t celebrate Christmas but do celebrate that Kwanzaa and Ramadan, wear funky clothes which look more at home on a black rapper who sings about cop killings and the fall of US. The last reminder is the darkened White House, our White House. All for show, but never a better show - more like the cheap seats at some main attraction. Doubtful any American would ever forget just who these two might have been, the damage they have done, and how badly we wish them ill. But that doesn’t hinder US from trying.

Dark chocolate seems appropriate with a fudge-packer in the White House.

Many Americans, who don’t vote for Communist Muslims and despise liberalism or progressive-ism, have become haters of a central socialist government.

I hate the Obama White Hut and its annex and everyone in it. I’ll criticize every damned thing these rats do.

I’ve watched the White House Christmas every year during Bush’s administration, and every year their gifted chef made a traditional gingerbread White house. It is always lovely and honors the chef more than the inhabitants. So, this is not a new thing—just the choice of chocolate—it’s the least offensive thing that has come out of this White House, if offensive at all.

The Brown Bathhouse. Why is it not lit up in rainbow colored lights?

It’s so PC, tone deaf, racist and wasteful, it’s perfect.

And after it’s on display, they will chuck it. Who is gonna eat any part of that cultural abomination?

Susan Morrison may have designed and built the thing but we know who’ Ego specified and approved the design.

...This creation looks more like a brown house to me...

Yes, a not so subtle racial agitation from the Worst Family.

Yes, the tradition for WH gingerbread houses is old, but the Bushes made them of the house itself, earlier ones were more traditional German/Swiss chalet style -

Nixon -

Reagan -

But as you say the later ones of the WH look much better in actual gingerbread, not chocolate bread -

Slick Willie's one featuring Socks the cat -
