Why let a holiday season come between the White House and making some political statements? The White House pegged controversial designer Simon Doonon to oversee the Christmas decorations for the White House. Mr. Doonon, who is creative director of Barneys New York has often caused a stir with his design choices. Like his naughty yuletide window display of Margaret Thatcher as a dowdy dominatrix and Dan Quayle as a ventriloquists dummy. For this years White House, he didnt disappoint.
These photos of ornaments on the White House Christmas tree in the Blue Room were taken just days ago. Of course, Mao has his place in the White House.

And, of course, it wouldnt be Christmas without an ornament of legendary transvestite Hedda Lettuce.

And, so soon after collecting the Nobel Peace Prize, why wouldnt the White House have an ornament super-imposing President Obama onto Mt. Rushmore:
SNIP
“I don’t think he wants anything to do with the U.S. as it is today (or was yesterday).”
I think both Dear Leader and Moosechelle made that screamingly obvious before the election - of the 53% who voted for him, a few actually wanted our country to be destroyed, and the rest were (and remain) stunningly clueless.
They found images in old magazines, newspapers and etcetera, pasted them physically onto the surface of the ornament, layering them, and then more or less shellacked the whole thing.
The person behind this all has long been controversial, and deliberately pushed the bounds of what is acceptable, you know, the whole juvenile "shock your parents" phase, that they never seem to grow out of. If jaded New Yorkers had a problem with his work on window displays, though, you know it was completely beyond the pale for normal people.
So, of course the Obama White House was drawn to that like flies on ... well, fill in the blank. I noticed a sort of ecological theme with the very first photo of the White House tree, with several on the tree in the background, behind the First Couple with Oprah Winfrey, looking like the planet Earth. These are no doubt from the same tree. Who knows what's on the side facing away from the camera.
If one of a kind ornaments presented to the White House were used for this and defaced, there should be a huge outcry, just as there should be for tasteless and deliberately offensive political imagery within the defacing of them. It's worse than grafitti. It's like one of those dubbed over American westerns from the Soviet Union, that replaced original dialogue with Communist propaganda. Matter of fact, it's part and parcel of the same mindset.
This past summer I was at a county fair community church service in South Dakota, and one of the town leaders got up to tell this joke.
There was this train with several cars of coal, one farmer asked the other where he thought it was going. The other one said, “They must be putting Obama on Mt. Rushmore”.
What was funny is she apologized “if there were any Democrats” in the house, not that the joke might be considered “off color”.
Simon Doonan Is an Obese Elf Living in a Palatial Gay Fantasia
“Talk of the Town” with Simon Doonan might trigger LSD flashbacks. Not that we would know. We’re just saying, proceed with caution: “’Palatial gay fantasia’ is how Simon Doonan described his apartment in Greenwich Village the other night, as he swept past two garden gnomes crouching under a bright-orange lacquered console in the foyer. ‘Glamorous romper room,’ he continued, heading toward a paisley-patterned Ping-Pong table in the living room. ‘Because Johnny and I are very infantile.’ Nesting on bookshelves and tabletops were scores of ceramic animals designed by Doonans spouse, the homeware baron Jonathan Adler. (’Im just a simple potter!’ Adler insisted.) A burlap bust of Napoleon was tucked into the fireplace, and about a fifth of the room was taken up by a huge black statue of a foot.” Also: “Adler frequently refers to Doonan as an ‘obese elf.’”

I’ve just seen the ornaments that 0bama has on the White House Christmas Tree.
This denigration is such an insult. I am furious.
This is OUR HOUSE! This house represents US (or is supposed to), and I feel slighted, offended, and insulted.
Many Americans and our Allies, have fought, spilled blood, and died for our beliefs and those of our Countrymen and Allies.
These ornaments feature images of transvestites, Mao, and Mr. 0bama’s face on Mt. Rushmore, just to name a few. Some of the images may be viewed here: http://biggovernment.com/2009/12/22/transvestites-mao-and-obama-decorate-white-house-christmas-tree/
I request that your office lodge an immediate complaint and request that these perversions be removed from MY HOUSE!
Sincerely.
Ugh.
So are the comments at the NYTimes.
GOOD on you. Since they’re going home for Christmas, I’ll send my email to the local office.
Thank you for the good idea!
Merry CHRISTmas!
Thank you.
I broke my digital camera cable, and am waiting for another to arrive. Otherwise, I would have already made a YouTube and uploaded it.
I was going to recall how Bill Clinton was out of the country for 3/4ths of the July 4th's of his administration, but then I remembered that Obama invited the Iranian diplomats to the White House for a July 4 BBQ.
I'm guessing that the Obama White House will arrange some special event about Obama for the next Presidents Day holiday.

Or baby parts strewn hither and thither. Holiday of Herod! (It makes my heart hurt.)
By next year it will be the Black House & yes, he will be in the manager.

Oh, yeah, I just want, so badly, to honor this animal with a place in MY house. NOT! |
After seeing this, I want to puke.
PING
Obama is truly a pathetic person.
