What's missing from the White House Christmas card? Christmas.
This month, as in every December since he took office, President Bush sent out cards with a generic end-of-the-year message, wishing 1.4 million of his closest friends & supporters a "happy holiday season".
Many people are thrilled to get a White House Christmas card, no matter what the greeting inside. But some conservative Christians are reacting as if Bush stuck coal in their stockings.

Well, I guess some people must have something to complain about... I like the card. With Barney and Mrs. Beasley and the cats romping on the snow covered lawn...the White House decorated for Christmas.
Bible verse on the inside.

Wow and I used to think that leftists were wacky for the things they rally around, protest and march...
This stuff over Christmas is approaching the overblown point.

What kind of idiocy is this? I got my Bush Christmas Card yesterday. The first thing you read when you open the card is:
"The Lord is my strength and my shield;
In Him my heart trusts;
So I am helped and my heart exults,
And with my song I give thanks to Him."
(Psalm 28:7)
Yeah. That is real secular. I thought it was awesome.

I think it is supposed to be HOWWLL since Barney and Mrs. Beasely are on the front of it.

Read the rest of Psalm 28 and see what the President is alluding too.

I loved my card! It didn't bark or anything.......it was just a beautiful card.
Don't tell me people are going to start arguing about who got what card? The Dems are rubbing off on you folks here.
Don't sound like silly schoolchildren with your antics.
Sheesh......
To: libertyman
It`s cold tonite in Denver and Bush hasn`t done a thing about it.
I am so tired of this lets see how we can blast the President crap. Now his Christmas Card wasn`t right. Does anybody think he even knows? He might have a few things on his plate that he thinks are more important.

I got the holiday card from President Bush. I liked it. It's fine with me if they want to cover all their recipients with one card. It probably would have been a lot more challenging to figure out who was supposed to get the Chanukah cards.

We're not complaining. In fact, my husband and I were thrilled to have received a Christmas card from George and Laura. The gold Presidential seal was a nice touch.

I think it's supposed to "hollow", but with an idiot writing this article, who knows?
