...the 18½ foot Douglas fir in the Blue Room is decorated with recycled ornaments that Mrs. Obama's team dug out of the warehouse where old White House decorations are stored.
"We took about 800 ornaments left over from previous administrations, we sent them to 60 local community groups throughout the country, and asked them to decorate them to pay tribute to a favorite local landmark and then send them back to us for display here at the White House," said Mrs. Obama.

Rose from the Quinn & Rose radio show supposedly mentioned this. IMO, it is a travesty to DESTROY historic items from previous Administrations. This is disgusting. When my mom told me about this I was furious.

If you just break them and hang them back up they remind you of any city run by a Democrat.

Maybe they found those little figurines having sex that the clintons had on their Christmas tree, and had the kids paint some clothes on them.

WHAT gives THEM the right to DESTROY artifacts? Wonder if anyone who contributed these is wondering whether theirs got “remade?”

This is certainly preferable to the pornographic Christmas tree that Hillary Clinton commissioned during the 1994 Christmas season.

As I read it, they took other WH families’ ornaments and remade them in their own image.
The unbelievable part is they think that this was a good idea. I’m baffled by this move.

Artists design ornaments especially for White House Christmas trees. I can’t fathom why anyone would do something like this. Maybe they can send out old china sets next. Have people paint all over them. What knuckleheads in the White House.

Merry Christmas!
FWIW, Ping.
and for you, Happy Hanukah.

Considering how many decorations must be in storage, I’m not sure this is worth getting overly excited about in the grand scheme of things. I don’t know why they wasted people’s time, energy and supplies to recycle ornaments unless the ornaments were damaged.

Obama’s can’t be seen spending money on a Christian Holiday. Muslims would never speak to them again.
Those community groups were probably NEA.
Michelle probably picked out the years of republicans only for destruction.

Get real.
Do “really” and honestly think ANY of the original White House Christmas tree ornaments were “damaged” ... until the “local community organizations” (state-run day-care/propaganda centers) colored them with stick-on local day-glow drawings.
Pure hatred. She HATES what the White House and our culture represents.

My neighbor designed an ornament during Bush 43 1st term. She was honored to do it even though she didn’t care for the president at the time.
