The lunch conversation inevitably turned to whether the White House would display its crèche, customarily placed in a prominent spot in the East Room. Ms. Rogers, this participant said, replied that the Obamas did not intend to put the manger scene on display — a remark that drew an audible gasp from the tight-knit social secretary sisterhood. (A White House official confirmed that there had been internal discussions about making Christmas more inclusive and whether to display the crèche.)
Yet in the end, tradition won out; the executive mansion is now decorated for the Christmas holiday, and the crèche is in its usual East Room spot.

"Yet in the end, tradition won out..."My ass, it won out... The gutless manchild knew that this would deal a SERIOUS blow to his pathetic presidency. He doesn't give a rip about American tradition, he cares about his skinny black butt.

I’d expect nothing less. Make Christianity more inclusive? Everyone who accepts who Jesus is will be included. The rest will remain in the democrat party.

Kicking a substantial number of Christians in the teeth really doesn't seem to me to be a way to make Christmas "more inclusive".
If the Obama's actually suggeste not displaying the WH creche they have to be the most dullwitted couple to ever live there ~ just totally mind-numbed, knee-jerked and robot-like delivering their lines.

He didn’t use a Bible the second time he was sworn in. He said they couldn’t find one at the WH.

When is this nightmare going to end! Jan 2013 if we're lucky.
And Jan 2017 if Soros manages to get Lou Dobbs (or equivalent) on the ballot in enough states.
