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.

“Who is depicted in the manger scene”
Good thing it wasn’t a live manger scene. They could have found plenty of sheep and jackasses, but finding 3 wise men in D.C. may would have been impossible!!
Inclusive of WHAT?
A Christmas that doesn't "include" Christians?
There was a reason I used the phrase "professing christian" and failed to capitalize Christian. I've seen no evidence Obama is a Christian. I'm not particularly convinced he's a true muslim either. I believe Obama is for Obama, and any profession or claim is for that end. There is a reason he had so many "present" votes when he was an IL senator.
Muslims don’t celebrate Christmas.
This cartoon might help!

Sorry, not script qualified....lol
I hate him more!
They'd also have trouble finding a virgin.
IIRC, they don't celebrate Christmas or Birthdays. Muslims don't celebrate days prefaced with Happy...and I just found out the HAPPY Christmas was common and that's the phrase used in the Night before Christmas.
What happened to the dog...Muslims hate dogs.
Obama is just as muslim as his pal Farahkan. They are cut from the same cloth.
Or the son of Satan.
Saint Barack:
Oh, and if I need to say it: /sarc
Someone should inspect the WH creche carefully to see if a Baby Obama has been put in place for Jesus...
No human being who calls themselves a Christian and professes to believe in Jesus Christ could possibly object to a Nativity Scene in their home, whether they are in Hawaii for the Holiday or not.
This man is no Christian. No American either IMO.
Like putting a cross in front of a vampire?
That’s funny!
37 months and 2 weeks. (baring any unforeseen circumstances)
LOL!!!!!!!!!
No, you have it backwards. A few of us bitter clingers call it Christmas, but it is actually the winter holiday.
Get with the times. (Do I really need the /s)
