In yesterday’s New York Times, there was an article about White House social secretary Desirée Rogers. In it, reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote: “When former social secretaries gave a luncheon to welcome Ms. Rogers earlier this year, one participant said, she surprised them by suggesting the Obamas were planning a ‘non-religious Christmas….’”
This same participant said that “the Obamas did not intend to put the manger scene on display” (this was confirmed by the White House). Indeed, as Stolberg wrote, “there had been internal discussions about making Christmas more inclusive and whether to display the crèche.”
Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed this issue today:
Unlike almost all Americans—including atheists—the Obamas do not give their children Christmas gifts. We know this because Barack bragged about this last year to People magazine. So it should come as no big surprise that he and his wife would like to neuter Christmas in the White House. That’s their natural step—to ban the public display of Christian symbols. Have any doubts? Last April, Georgetown University was ordered to put a drape over the name of Jesus as a condition of the president speaking there.
If the Obamas want to deprive their children of celebrating Christmas, that is their business. It is the business of the public to hold them accountable for the way they celebrate Christmas in the White House. We know one thing for sure: no other administration ever entertained internal discussions on whether to display a nativity scene in the White House.
At least they aren’t decorating a tree with sex toys like Gary Aldrich claims the Clinton White House did.
It could only be an improvement. I think that when women are in the private quarters, however, they’re permitted not to wear burkas...
Obama and his supporters are humanists whose loyalty is to the STATE.....
A donation in their names has been to the Human Fund.
The Obamas have the usual twisted left wing view of all Western traditions and religions.
Whether or not they consider themselves Muslim or atheistic, they have a misguided respect for all things they view as having been excluded from Western culture. And they wish to put aside all the awful trappings of Western Civilization.
In short they are dangerous idiots. Only a GD fool would decide to dis Christmas from the White House.
The English say Happy Christmas.
But the angel said to them,"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people"

Psalm 109:8 (May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.)
Remember when they first came to town, that they just couldn't make up their minds?
Is Barry Hussein Obama scared to be seen on camera attending midnight services on Christmas Eve?
Hillary's gotta be laughing... cackling hysterically, hilariously....
What is a Pentecostal Baptist?
Anybody happen to know if President Obama will attend the lighting of the Menorrah for Channukah?
Michelle’s side of the family ... maybe they are Jehovah’s witnesses.

The first family is more into ramadamadingdong than CHRISTMAS.

He's probably going to hunt for the REAL birth certificate.
It’s too bad his parents weren’t both neutered before they created their Big Mistake
>> I’d like to neuter the Obamas. <<
You have to get in line behind Jessie Jackson...
