The Worst Kind Of Scheduling Conflict [Obama Address preempts Charlie Brown Christmas]
Morning Call ^ | November 30, 2009 | John L. Micek.

Posted on 12/01/2009 7:23:23 AM PST by PapaBear3625

President Barack Obama ... ... is slated to deliver a prime-time address on Tuesday night in which he'll lay out his plans for the American war in Afghanistan.

The address before the United States Military Academy at West Point on Tuesday night will not only be used to announce the immediate order to deploy roughly 30,000 more troops, but the administration will also use the occasion to convey how it intends to turn the fight over to the Kabul government, the New York Times reported.

But the administration may also face an unforeseen enemy as it lays out its long-awaited plans. And they are loud and they are legion: We're talking about preschoolers and their parents.

That's because ABC-TV was scheduled to present its annual screening of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" at 8 p.m. tomorrow night. And we don't know about you, but that show is pretty sacrosanct around our house and not to be trifled with lightly.

A call to the White House may be in order here. We hear it's pretty easy to get through these days ...

It’s because he isn’t a Christian and distains all things Christian.

So is bammy Charlie Brown or Linus? I know he ain’t Snoopy. You could make an argument that Lady Chewbacca is Lucy though.

Yes.

Charles Schultz’ classic is one of the few vintage Christmas shows true to the REAL meaning of Christmas. We won’t even talk about modern “holiday” productions.

I doubt that it would be produced today...wouldn’t want to “offend” anyone....

To be honest, this is perhaps the first time I’ve agreed with Obama’s timing. (Hell he should have done this months ago and we all agree on that, so understand that up front.)

I am not a Charlie Brown fan. Frankly the whole concept gives me the hives. Just about anything that would keep him off the tube is fine with me.

For the Charlie Brown fans, sorry folks. Take your little blankey over in the corner and pout.

He will have made another couple of million people mad.

Eventually, he is his own worst enemy.
