There's a rumor going 'round that the Obama's have finally found a church they feel comfortable in...

Anyone happen to know what the 1st Fam is doing for Kwaanza?

I am more concerned about what they did for Ramadan.

I thought Anita Dunn had resigned?

Absent missing ornament -- Anita Dunn must have taken the likeness of Mother Terresa with her when she left; however, Mao is on-loan to the WH until after the new year as Obama couldn't bear to part with it.

Do “Leftist Christians” do more damage to Christianity by pretending to be Christian?

“If these reports are true, ...”

Come on!!! This no different that Dan Rather’s BS! If they don’t it’s true then this is all a waste of ink, paper and bandwidth.

Oh! And look, a foto! It must be true!

The foto the show could have been take any where. This is no more proof of the story that the foto of the polar bears in ice is proof of global warming.

If these reports are true...

What in the...world...has happened to reporters, editors and publishers? Have all the fact-checkers been fired? To think that such a sentence could actually be printed...

I need more eggnog.

“...photo does not pass the smell test.”

I agree. I believe the publishing of these photos is another “disinformation” attempt by the Obama henchmen to get conservatives riled-up.

Sorry I thought all Christian denominations had a Christmas Mass.

Learn something every day.

No problem.

Almost all Christian denominations have a Christmas service. Catholics call it a Mass.

I don’t know. I thought it was already reported that it was on a tree that was decorated by some “community group”, and no one at the WH had really looked at all the ornaments before the story came out

From Snopes:

The White House Christmas tree has a few controversial ornaments hanging on it for all Americans to view. A ornamental tribute to Mao Zedong, the late Chinese dictator is on the tree. Hedda Lettuce, a drag queen also has a place on the White House tree. The latest fiasco is the Great Christmas Ornament Scandal

Most Protestant denominations call weekly church attendance “service” or words to that effect. Mass, from the Latin missa, means “mission” or “sending” as part of the liturgical celebration conclusion, to “go in peace” and spread the word of the Gospel is primarily Roman Catholic, with some exceptions.

The photo - along with the photos of the other ornaments, one showing a drag queen and the other showing Obama on Mt Rushmore - were published in a puff piece about how wonderful this “decorator” (the man who created them) was and how great it was that he was involved with the new tone at the White House.

The story is true, although of course Michelle Ma Belle said she had absolutely no idea these ornaments were on the tree until the story came out. I doubt that, personally.

Actuasl title: CHRISTIAN LEADERS STUNNED THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS AN ORNAMENT OF THE IMAGE OF MAO ZEDONG HANGING ON THE WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS TREE

Your title "stunned that an ornament hanging" makes no sense.

It would seem an easy thing to document. The author’s use of the term “if true” was stupid, if the the story is true.

Like I said , ya learn something every day in Free Republic.

Did anyone have the pictures of Obama leaving a Christmas “Service” ?
Did he attend a Christmas “Service”?

Did he even say Merry Christmas to anyone, on Christmas day?

If this guy is a true Christian believer I am Santa Claus.

When I first heard this I thought it was a joke, but no, it’s true.

Well, this isn’t a major news source .... not like that makes a big difference these days
