Report: Obamas balked at WH Nativity scene
baltimore sun ^ | 122/07/09 | Mathew Hay Brown

Posted on 12/07/2009 3:38:53 PM PST by winoneforthegipper

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.

"What would you expect from a MUSLIM?"

I really don't think he's a Muslim. Like most classic narcissists, he's an atheist - there's no room in his world view for anything greater than himself. He's certainly sympathetic to Muzzies, and I would argue dangerously so, but I don't believe he believes in any supreme being - other than himself, of course.

That was my feeling, too. The “gasps” of the other social secretaries must have made Desiree realize that this just wasn’t a good idea...this Christmas. Look for it to be gone next Christmas, though.

Anyway, The One and family won’t even be in the WH at Christmas. They’re going to Hawaii, I guess so they won’t have their feelings of inclusivity offended by having to see the creche.

As I clicked the link that led to that story, I had Johnny Cash singing “Silent Night” quite by happenstance.

Divine Providence, I tell ya!....lol

*Kicking a substantial number of Christians in the teeth really doesn’t seem to me to be a way to make Christmas “more inclusive”.*

What sort of mental gymnastics does one perform to arrive upon “inclusion” by “excluding” the very basis for the event?

Any Christian who votes for this idiot should be ashamed.

On second thought, anyone who votes for this idiot should be ashamed

One would think that the Obamas, as professing christians, would understand that everyone is more than welcome to be included in the celebration of the birth of the Savior of all mankind. Maybe that's not true in the version that the Obamas practice and that's the source of their views.

So even social secretaries bend him to their will?

No wonder Kim and Chavez are not afraid of him.

Since THE JOKER has made WAR against Jehovah Almighty God we need to pray that prayer that was circulating around the net...does anyone here remember the scripture? If so please post it we need to pray it with ferocity! This manking is EVIL and needs a supernatural removal miracle by the hand of God!

Given your hypothesis, what 'religion' would you say that he 'stand' with? The one in which he comments in one of his 'books' that he'd align himself with?

If it walks, talks, eats and sounds like a duck, then..........?????

Regardless of whether the religious piety is there (if you can call yourself pious to a religion that advocates all sorts of evils) and align yourself with it and decide and act in its favor then you might be considered its proxy - tantamount to being a true believer. As far as I'm concerned, he is MUSLIM.

Obama isn’t a Christian and doesn’t believe in Christmas, he’s an earther.
You’re either with Christ or not.

The next president is going to have to go on an apology tour and express regret over how #44 went out of his way to antagonize Christians. Then he/she will have to apologize for the assault on freedom and other American ideals.
