In a recent discussion about political correctness and whether it has gone too far, President Barack Obama said it's a tricky issue, because "the definition of political correctness is all over the map.
At one point in his pre-vacation interview with NPR, Obama used himself as an example: I had to live through controversies like the notion that I was trying to kill Christmas. Right? Well, whered that come from? Well, I bet, you know, well, he said Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. So, that, you know, that must be evidence of him either not being a Christian or not caring about Christmas. It it sounds funny now, but youll have entire debates in conservative circles around that. [ ]
Obama also warned against hypersensitivity that prevents people from expressing their opinions out of fear that theyll be called racist: If sort of our social discourse and our political discourse becomes like walking on eggshells so that if somebody says, you know what, Im not sure affirmative action is the right way to solve racial problems in this country and theyre somebodys immediately accused of being racist. Well, then, I think you have a point (that political correctness has gone too far) although I happen to approve of affirmative action. But I think that I can have a polite dialogue with somebody who who differs from me on that issue.

The pitiful man behind the curtain clutching his pearls.
His evil intentions for Christmas should be more than a “notion,” it should be a “certainty!”
Noted and reported to the improper authorities.
I have never felt more motivated to learn Photoshop as after viewing the following images...
Finding an image of a horse's ass in the easy part...
The poor baby, not man enough to take criticism, guess they have lost hope. If hope is placed in Jesus Christ it isn’t lost, they need to hear that.
LOL - on this issue Obama is guilty as charged...
It was read the Little Boy King was almost in tears. Seems President Trump, when he moves into the WH, will be removing all the many prayer rugs covering the floors (placed for visiting ‘dignitaries’) and all Islam signs, symbols, sculptures currently in the rooms. After removal, he will then place CHRISTIAN artifacts....ie - the Holy Cross (much like that which was covered when BO’B spoke at the National Cathedral.
With BO’Bs removal from our House, how can we NOT rejoice!!
He is now saying this because Trump is getting the attention on saying Merry Christmas. I have noticed a difference this year. Saying Merry Christmas is back in style, p8ssing off obama sharia lover.
Sure. I still remember, "We Won. Deal with it."
Condescending, smug, arrogant jackass.
Then, *exactly* the same thing happened with Hillary, during the debates. I took notice.
God works in mysterious ways, with the most humble of creatures.
He was trying to kill Christians and Christmas, and he made progress in both directions. Thank God that time will finally put an end to these terrible years.
And Christians...
Obama’s legacy will be in full view this time next month.
