WASHINGTON— In this week’s address, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama came together to wish the American people a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and thanked our troops, military families, and veterans for their service and sacrifice. President Obama and Michelle Obama encouraged everyone to visit JoiningForces.gov to find ways to give back to our brave men and women in uniform and their families during the holiday season as we work together in the spirit of service.

Remarks of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama Weekly Address The White House December 24, 2011

THE PRESIDENT: Hi everyone. As you gather with family and friends this weekend, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I – and of course Bo – want to wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

THE FIRST LADY: This is such a wonderful time of year.

It’s a time to honor the story of love and redemption that began 2,000 years ago … a time to see the world through a child’s eyes and rediscover the magic all around us … and a time to give thanks for the gifts that bless us every single day.

Isn't Christmas about Jesus? Even this Jew knows that much. Can't bring themselves to say the name once.

It was right for the President to thank the troops.

But why not mention the Name of Jesus? Christmas is a federal holiday - and Washington and Lincoln were not ashamed to mention His name.

The omission was blinding.

Happy Hanukkah, Nachum

She kept pursing her lips...as if she would rather be somewhere else.

Absolutely no class.

Since when are big assed first ladies invited? Man, I hope we won’t have to endure too many more of these joint radio appearances! One final one before they all leave town in 2013 would be enough!

Most muslims don’t talk much about Jesus, why should he be different?

Just cannot sit and watch or listen to them lie, when I know how they really feel about our military personnel.

Watched half of it that was more than enough.

Merry Christmas to everyone and to all a goodnight.

I know what you mean. It’s hard for me to believe how this little man and his fat-assed-no-boobs-big-mouth wife are at the top of the United States. It’s like a sick joke – a communist sitting in the WH, revealing to those who think the USA is the beacon of freedom and free enterprise that such faith is unfounded, at least for now. I’m sure my relatives will be laughing. Not!

Sadly, I’ll never feel the same feelings about America again after this guy. It’s killed a lot in me and I won’t recover the rest of my life. I thought Clinton was bad.

Never distrust America. I know what you mean, though. Just like demons telling us that God doesn’t exist, there are demons telling us that America is no longer the shining city on the hill. America is in our heart, so never lose faith and hope in America. We are America, and while we live America will exist. Don’t give up. I understand what this man has done, that’s his and his cohort's objective, but your objective should be to never give up, and to never surrender.

Merry Christmas, and keep the faith.

I’m sure this maggot did thank them—”thanks a lot for getting your arms blown off so I can live it up on $4 million dollar vacations in Hawaii, can run around like an arrogant pr—k, trashing the Constitution—you know that rag you and I both swore to defend. In the meantime, did you enjoy that Navy lesbian kissing? Those are my ‘thanks a lot gifts’ to you. Take it and embrace it. Because I spit on you and you let me get away with it.”
