President Obama to celebrate Cinco De Mayo with reception at White House
Obama holds reception for Cinco De MayoPresident Obama and the first lady are celebrating Cinco De Mayo with a reception at the White House Wednesday evening. In the U.S. the day is a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.
We've got upwards of 25 million illegal aliens in country, many of them from Mexico, and Obama is celebrating a Mexican holiday?
Cinco de Mayo or Pinko de Mayo?
Wednesday is a big party day at the White Hut anyway ain’t it? This makes a pretty convenient excuse.
With BO as president, I’ve been downing a cinco de vodka a week.
I thought Obama already celebrated Cinco De Quatro?
Cinco de Mayo is mostly an American holiday. It is barely recognized in Mexico.
It is akin to St. Patrick’s Day, which is not considered all that special in Ireland.
Wasn’t there another recent president that held Mexican celebrations up in the White House, on tax payer dollars, while the country was being over run with illegals from Mexico?

Hot, hot, hot!
(with apologies to Mr. Poindexter.)
well it’s better than the president celebrate Easter.
What day is this festive reception taking place?
We shouldn’t be celebrating foreign holidays. I don’t attend the company Cinco de Mayo potluck for that reason, and in this case, because I don’t like how Mexico treats its’ people. If America had treated me so badly I wouldn’t look upon her fondly. Can’t figure out what is wrong with people.
This year some of the Mexicans in my office really rubbed it in by decorating the table, dressing in green, and playing Mexican music. Well, just wait until Fourth of July. I have plans.
“Never Forget” the Fuhrer snubbed and was disgracefully rude to Bibi!!! One national disgrace after another.
He should invite his illegal aunt over. Has anything been said since her last hearing? Its been awhile.
I like San Jacinto Day.
Cinco de Mayo hero Ignacio Zaragoza was born in Goliad, TEXAS.
It celebrates a victory over the French, doesn’t it? What is more American than that?
You’re right. But why do the Mexicans celebrate this rather than their independence?
I don’t celebrate foreign holidays, especially one that of a country that treats its’ people so bad that they have to flee. I can’t figure why they are so proud to be from a failed country that makes them flee. Strange people.
Remember the Alamo!
After it was found Bush's Homeland Security Chief had people wandering around the inside of his private residence that were in the country illegally, during war time.......
Well, I knew this country was sliding into decline....
It is not a Mexican Holiday
It is a USA illegal alien’s holiday.
