You have hit the nail on the head...there are many who do not believe in Jesus Christ. The number is growing and the Whitehouse "Christmas" card an example of it, albeit a small example. Jesus Christ is under attack from a sly dog called PC tolerance propogated by the Dems and the ACLU.

Did you know that last year President and Mrs. Bush were the FIRST presidential couple to put ANY scriptural reference on their card at all? The 1995 Clinton Christmas card had a picture of the Dynamic Duo cheesily grinning in front of a Christmas tree. No scripture. I suppose you would like that one BETTER because it had a CHRISTMAS tree.

Here is what President Bush said at the CHRISTMAS Tree lighting:

"For over two millenia, Christmas has carried the message that God is with us," the president said. "And because He's with us, we can always live in hope."

Now, please find something else to carp about. It seems to me that you are one of those glass half-empty people.

This type card is the same as all businesses send yearly. Apparently you have not worked in an office. We did not pick one with a religious theme - but one that reflects the "spirit" of Christmas. Just look at the Christmas cards a corporation sends to it customers - they are not religous just beautiful cards.

Looks like you just want to again find something to whine about. Now - my religion does not celebrate Christmas in the religious tone BECAUSE we are not given the date of Christ's birth and therefore Christmas Day is not the day Christ was born. Yet, we definitely believe in Jesus and honor Him as our saviour.

Looks like you want the President to create havoc with a Christmas card. Just how does a Christmas card NOT mentioning Jesus but giving wishes for the holidays mean that the White House is anti-Jesus?

Get a life!!!

The President's job is leading this country, not converting it to a State Religion (and I am certain you believe it should be led out of the Vatican!).

The President and his lovely Wife are doing a fine job, witnessing for Christ by their conduct and sincerity. This is called the "Separation of Church and State". That it has been subverted into "Freedom From Religion" is more of an indictment of the single-issue conservatives that allow the liberals to gain too much power.

I'm not buying what you are selling, because God's Grace and Forgiveness isn't for sale! That is what Martin Luther discovered.

NY Catholic,

Get a grip! The President sends out thousands of cards a year to people of all faiths, and I for one am pleased to see a Psalm included.

In a few days, a much smaller number will go out to those he knows better, and I will bet it has a very religious message. It did last year.
