Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is dissing President Obamas holiday greeting card, which features a painting of first dog Bo sleeping in front of a fireplace decorated with red bows and greenery.
The card is odd, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee told Fox News. Palin added that a Yuletide greeting from the White House should express American foundational values illustrated and displayed on Christmas cards and on a Christmas tree.
Fox News Radio has also chimed in, trying to fit the card into the networks war on Christmas theme, saying:
The official White House holiday card makes no mention of the word Christmas and instead focused on Bo the First Dog based on wishes of the first family.

Summing up Sarah’s PC approach to making the point....
** MUSLIMS DON’T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS **
Especially America-hating Muslims.
Did the have a nice photos of the white house “Christmas Wishing tree”
I know we always had a wishing tree, you know - where we made wishes.
That’s nice, Sarah.
Now quit your cushy job at Faux News-Obama, and get to the campaign trail, why don’t you?
She is absolutely right. This is a pseudo Christmas card that makes on mention of Christmas.
Just another charade by these frauds to make people think ‘they are just like us’.
Michelle, you KNOW you don’t belong in the WH. You and Reggie’s ‘best friend’ both know that. You have said that the country doesn’t deserve you, you are right. We DON’T deserve what has been fraudulently foisted on us.
I have a Christmas card from Dubya. It features the two dogs in the snow in front of the White House.
And did they make a wish when they blew out the candles on the Jewish Menorah?
It doesn't quite say "For God so loved the world . . . ".
It's more of a "It's great to be king and have this marvelous house that the taxpayers decorate to look pretty."
I have about 1,000 reasons for disliking Obama but I could give a rat's ass what kind of Christmas or holiday or whatever cards the White House sends out.
It's like complaining how high the grass in the yard is while the house burns to the ground.
He should send one to me. I would SOUND like I was Dissing on the card...
The card should have had a picture of chairman mao on it. Better suited to the little tyrant.
I think the card shows that the White House is full of nothing but empty chairs.
I have that card from W too. I also have one from Reagan featuring a chandelier.
Muslims don't own dogs and certainly wouldn't let one in the house.
Eh this kind of makes us look petty being picky over every little thing. It just makes it look like we want to harp on everything and then our more important legitimate criticisms will be viewed with skepticism.
The card looks nice and it was probably designed by pr people with not much input from President.
Maybe Bo is really in charge there. BS had him flown back to DC from HI so he could have a photo op at the pet store. Every room of the WH has holiday decorations and a larger than life replica of Bo. Seems to me that there is a message there somewhere.
Exactly. Now it is being billed as Republicans picking on the card. Sarah has never been apt at picking and choosing her fights.
This is one she should have ignored. There is a whole lot wrong with Barry. The reasons to complain are numerous.
“..Muslims don’t own dogs and certainly wouldn’t let one in the house..”
:::::::::::::::::
Obama is an exception then on at least TWO counts.... :-)
Palin is like a female Rush, talks all the time but nothing ever changes.
Note that the card is a PAINTING of Bo at the fireplace. Not a photograph.
