The lunch conversation inevitably turned to whether the White House would display its crèche, customarily placed in a prominent spot in the East Room. Ms. Rogers, this participant said, replied that the Obamas did not intend to put the manger scene on display — a remark that drew an audible gasp from the tight-knit social secretary sisterhood. (A White House official confirmed that there had been internal discussions about making Christmas more inclusive and whether to display the crèche.)

Yet in the end, tradition won out; the executive mansion is now decorated for the Christmas holiday, and the crèche is in its usual East Room spot.

And Muslims don’t worship Jesus...

[Victoria Delsoul]

Good point, lol.

[bootless]

Everyone has addressed the important points... and this pops to mind: How do you make a holiday more inclusive my excluding the religion it’s meant to honor and recognize (and describe!)?

It’ not halal, the false prophet Moe would never approve.

What would you expect from a MUSLIM?

You nailed it on the second post.

I wonder how Rev. Wright's church celebrates Christmas? The Obama only wnet there for only, oh, 20 years.

[stanz]

Good! I’d like to ram Joseph’s staff where the sun don’t shine.

[expatguy]

Exactly...

lemme guess... one year and he still has not chosen a church to attend..

LMFAO

Americans are SO stupid.

Obama PUNKED all of you

[Andonius_99]

They probably opted not to have it because it didn’t have Baby Barack as the centerpiece...

Why?

[Salvation]

It does appear that we won this battle!

[gathersnomoss]

Why would a Muslim want a Nativity scene in their crib?

[catpuppy]

it is actually the winter holiday

True indeed. I can't wait for the spring holiday when the Diversity Bunny arrives.

[Scythian]

I’m confused, if Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ, how does removing Him from the very thing about Him make sense?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

While I pray you are correct that Obama will be exposed for the fraud he is, I have my doubts.

The media has managed to cover up his eligibility issues, that he is most likely not even a legal immigrant in the US, his drug past, his homosexual past, his past association with criminals/communists/anarchists, his school records, previous close ties to terrorists, that he didn’t write his books....etc etc

It seem as if the media is bound and determined to let nothing happen to their chosen messiah, regardless of how much damage he does.

To our brave troops in combat protecting America this Christmas:

Check out Boca Raton Florida -

Who is buying and displaying what at the library and why?

Who is banning and removing what in Boca this Christmas?

(78% Obama voters)



Who attempted to ban the Nativity scene in the White House this Christmas?

(99% Obama voters)

Remember this when your buddies die -

Christmas Eve bump!
