U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Pays Homage to Obama—But Not Jesus

Obama—But Not Jesus By Terence P. Jeffrey December 19, 2011

(CNSNews.com) - The 63-foot Sierra White Fir that was lighted on Dec. 6 as the official U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree includes a prominently displayed ornament paying homage to President Barack Obama, but includes no ornament readily visible to a person standing near the tree's base that uses the word “Christmas,” or includes an image of the Nativity, or bears the name or image of Jesus Christ.

On the north side of the tree--at a height of about 4 feet and easily visible to people standing near it---there is an ornament that says: “I ♥ President Obama.”

When asked whether the tree included any ornaments that mention or depict Christmas or the birth of Jesus, the office of the Architect of the Capitol, which is responsible for the tree, told CNSNews.com that it “does not have a policy nor any restrictions concerning the themes for the ornaments” that go on the tree. The office could not say, however, whether or not this year’s Christmas tree does in fact include even a single ornament that directly references or depicts Christmas or Christ.

The office of the Architect of the Capitol also did not directly respond to the question of whether any other elected official—in addition to President Obama—is mentioned on any ornament hung on the tree.

That’s cuz Obama is supposed to be the Messiah - in his own mind, and the mind of his Kool Aid drinking cult followers.

Take heart my man....

...these little incidents don't go unnoticed by most Americans.

They pile up........the series of expensive and undignified "vacations", "golf outings" the "apologies" to lunatic dictators, the bows to lunatic dictators, his "friends"...the lunatic rev. rt., the despicable terrorist B ayers...etc....

..all are accruing to Zer0's account...

....and Zer0 is so arrogant and full of himself that he apparently is incapable of noticing....yea!

Rev. 13 (Amp. text) 5And the beast was given the power of speech, uttering boastful and blasphemous words, and he was given freedom to exert his authority and to exercise his will during forty-two months (three and a half years).
