Sarah Palin Disses Obamas' Christmas Card
SeattlePI ^ | 12/22/11 | SeattlePI

Posted on 12/22/2011 12:24:32 PM PST by illiac

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is dissing President Obama’s 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 network’s “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.”

Now quit your cushy job at Faux News-Obama, and get to the campaign trail, why don’t you?

All together

(cue music)

I'm dreaming of a brokered convention

Just like the one we had in '52...

Asute observation. There is nothing REAL about this FRAUD. A living lie personified. And the trail of dupes are still following him around lapping up the BS piles behind him.

Back during the ‘08 campaign days, wasn’t there a time when Hussein said that his girls don’t get Christmas gifts, or that they don’t celebrate Christmas, or something like that? With his ratings so pitiful, maybe he’s making a small effort to imply that they’re into Christmas now.

Merry Yule from the dog, Bo.

We wipe our feet on you and hate dogs.

“Palin is like a female Rush, talks all the time but nothing ever changes.”

That’s up to you, isn’t it?

I agree. This whole dissing on a Christmas card borders on ridiculous. Sarah should really pick her fights better and not be petty because more people will lose faith in her while she makes these lame jabs.
It’s a White House Christmas card. If you look through the last 40 years, you will see there are some really horrific cards that came out. During ALL administrations (including Reagan’s).

Here’s a site with some of the ... worst? Only site I could find with them.

Did the Bush card say anything about Christmas?

You missed the point.

Their talk is meaningless. Blogs produce better results from whistle blowers that others just report on or follow.

Few in the media request write in campaigns or list who or what not to vote for and why or why not, that would be to committal.

At best talking heads add to misdirection of pertinent events.

Not surprising. He can’t wait to take his non-Christian, Christmas-avoiding-pretending-it-isnt-happening, muslim vacation. Which many, MANY muslims do around this time of the year.

The White House card can be interpreted as the following message from The Socialist in Chief:

Happy Holidays, my pets.

Best thing about the WH in the card is the dog.

Note that the card is a PAINTING of Bo at the fireplace. Not a photograph.

Good catch. I didn't examine it that closely. That should be his "out" of a sticky situation with his peeps in the Muslim Brotherhood.
