Here is the heart of President Obama's official Christmas message: "This is a season for millions of Americans to be together with family, to continue long-held holiday traditions, and to show our gratitude to those we love. And along the way, some of us might even watch a little basketball or eat some Christmas cookies, too."
Ah yes, cookies and basketball: that's what Christmas is about for the President. Oh, and yes, those "long-held holiday traditions."

For Obama, Christmas is about cookies, basketball, and the little peoples’ quaint holiday traditions. Ping to Today show list.

Just don’t let those commies down at the ACLU catch you doing any of that “long held ‘holiday’ traditions” stuff. You’ll get your *** sued for ‘offending’ somebody.

No mention of the Birth of Jesus as almost all presidents have done in the past.

Have fun during the “winter break”. Just don’t “offend” any of our diverse and multicultural citizens.

He practices Secularism. He has not the gift of faith in Christ.

Such a rich tradition to hand down to generations, basketball, cookies, tinsel and snowman. Wow. Life changing, transformational, a land of liberty.

Missing father, distracted mother, early years as a Muslim then raised by communist grand parents, attended “black liberation” church. OBAMA has no traditions or experience to base an understanding of the truth of Christ on. Obama needs a lot of prayer. If God can bring Newton to his knees and inspire Amazing Grace God can touch Obama’s heart!

He did say Christmas. A word that is not allowed by the enlisted men and women at Camp Shelby.
How is the commander in chief allowed to say Christmas to the military but the soldiers at Camp Shelby not allowed to call it a Christmas football tournament?
These same PC clowns need to tell the commander he is not allowed to say Christmas when addressing the military. This needs to be brought to a head.

I miss the bangs. The bangs covered more of her face, and one always could hope they’d grow long enough to reach the Wookie’s chin. But noooooo. We’re back to the part in the center again, as an accent to the really bad underbite.
