You imply intolerance by expecting GWB to send out cards stating Merry Christmas, when in fact there are many in this nation who don't believe in Jesus Christ.

Just for you and other fussbudgets he should employ a staff to send appropriate cards to each of the various religions?

And you're positive that other religions wanted tolerance/fairness at the expense of Christ? Sure, they are always a few nutballs like my sister but I believe in the basic goodness of people in this world. Those people who just want to celebrate their Holy Days and not have them ignored, mocked or misunderstood.

I never have a problem with saying Merry Christmas because I don't allow political correctness to rule my feelings. And hey, if I offend someone, oh well. I certainly don't do it out of malice. If someone one wishes me a Happy Hanukkah or Kwanzaa I thank them with a smile and let them know I'm a Christian graciously.

You have hit the nail on the head...there are many who do not believe in Jesus Christ. The number is growing and the Whitehouse "Christmas" card an example of it, albeit a small example. Jesus Christ is under attack from a sly dog called PC tolerance propogated by the Dems and the ACLU.

There are many who don't believe Islam is the religion of peace but that doesn't stop him from saying it. It is Christmas. There is no other way to describe it even if you don't celebrate it. Christmas is no longer simply a religious holiday. Even atheists celebrate Christmas.
