Obama Christmas Ornaments From the Navy?

A lot of organizations have cashed in on the new president's image with kitschy trinkets, so why not the Navy? The Navy Secretariat Staff Officers Recreation Association, a service group run by Navy personnel and civilians at the Pentagon, has produced Obama Christmas ornaments for $15 a pop, limited to two per person. The normal Navy image has been replaced for the first time with that of the president. A gold frame surrounds a photo of Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as he takes the oath of office on Inauguration Day. Too much cheerleading? Some think so—and have said so. In fact, after Whispers asked questions, sales were frozen. Yvonne Peterson, one of those selling the ornaments at the Pentagon, says, "We were told to put a stop on sales. They sold out in about an hour's time." The money raised funds for Navy morale, welfare, and recreation activities.

From a PC US Navy Secretariat to naval personnel and the public.

But in reality, here's how it should have looked:

That is disgusting!

[ExTexasRedhead]

Obama Kool Aid drinkers to the bitter end.

I caught that too!

Charles electrified the panel with that one, as Brett even said something about it.

Of all the people that comment on current events for Special Report, I have to say that Charles is still my favorite.

[GI Joe Fan]

I am afraid so.

Some of them are simply unreachable, and I have a couple in my family that I have been forced to give up on.

Thanks. Quite a difference between that and the Obama Christmas ornament.

Why would you want to hang a picture of a Muslim on a Christmas tree?

Let me guess.
These are all African Americans or ex-ACORN members.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to order 2,000,000 chia Obamas?

Thank you both for your service. It is an admirable thing to selflessly serve and sacrifice for our nation, something this administration can't even begin to conceive of doing. You both are better then the whole lot of them!
