Obamas light National Christmas Tree : Latest News, Information, Answers and Websites
Does anyone who accuses the president of somehow being anti-christian have even one leg to stand on?
"Tonight, we celebrate a story that is as beautiful as it is simple.The story of a child born far from home to parents guided only by faith, but who would ultimately spread a message that has endured for more than 2,000 years -- that no matter who we are or where we are from, we are each called to love one another as brother and sister. "
--President Obama, lighting the National Christmas Tree in Washington on Thursday (Dec. 3).
Answer: Is it Christians who do this? Isn't it supposed to be "Judge not lest ye be judged?" I read both of the President's books and as far as I could tell he professes Christianity.

Does the White House lighting of a 40 Hanukkah menorah every Christmas mean that Judaism is the US religion?
Brother Nathanael December 14, 2011 @ 10:50 pm
Christmas has all but disappeared from American life.
Instead of the joyous sound of “Merry Christmas” we are continually bombarded with the bland and anti-Christ, “Happy Holidays” – “Happy Hanukkah” – “Seasons Greetings” – and all the rest of the Jewish-inspired slogans aimed at eradicating the name of Christ from our lips and ears.
And it was just last week, in joining the myriad of world leaders throughout Christendom in their snubbing of Christmas, Obama celebrated Hanukkah at the White House, yet another example of the Jewish takeover of the month of December.
The Jewish war on Christmas all begins with the Jewish-run-and-funded ACLU which constantly vomits out its favorite lie, “Separation of Church & State.”
But this mantra, “Separation of Church & State,” is NOT an actual Law of the Land but rather was coined by Thomas Jefferson in his reply to the Danbury Baptists of Rhode Island assuring them that the State would NEVER interfere with their public expression of Christianity in the public square.
Yet now, distorting the original intent of “Separation of Church & State,” not a December goes by without the ACLU litigating against some small American town forcing it to remove all symbols of Christmas displayed in its parks and streets.
For instance, recently an ACLU Jewish attorney by the name of Katie Schwartzmann threatened to sue the Town of Ponchatoula, Louisiana unless it removed a Christmas Cross annually displayed in the center of the town.
The mayor was forced to acquiesce, explaining to a local TV station: “We don’t have the money to fight the ACLU. These kind of lawsuits are very expensive.”
In concert with the ACLU in its relentless war on Christmas, is the powerful Jewish Lobby, the Anti-Defamation League, known as the ADL, led by Abraham Foxman, who often sports a Jewish yarmulke.
Foxman and the ADL have infiltrated our public schools with one of its many curricula, this one called, the “December Dilemma” program.
But December has NEVER been a “dilemma” for Americans until the ADL has made it so…teaching our youth that with SO MANY (yeah, sure) “holidays” being celebrated throughout December, that any public celebration of Christmas would be an act of intolerance.
But where is the ADL or the ACLU when the 40 foot Hanukkah Menorah is put up on the White House Lawn every year, lit by Talmudic rabbis flanked by a Jewish Head of State and even accompanied by the US Air Force Band playing for the Jews, “I Have A Little Dreidel?”
No, not a peep out of the ADL or the ACLU. No “intolerance” cited by the ADL nor the ACLU’s favorite lie, “Separation of Church & State.”
My fellow Americans. The malevolence AND hypocrisy of these bandits who stole Christmas is clear for all to see.
The union of Synagogue & State will continue its onward, relentless march UNLESS someone has the guts to say NO to the Jewish religion who stole Christmas!

Answer: First, this is not a question but an intolerant racist rant.
Second, it is completely inaccurate.
I should think that the 40 or so Christmas trees scattered throughout the White House and the National Christmas Tree on Federal grounds more than compensate for one menorrah no matter how tall.

Why arent left wingers offended by 0bamas enormous CHRISTMAS TREE on the White House lawn?
... but left wingers are offended by Christmas displays in most other public places?
Answer: Nothing a liberal god spends bothers the left wingers , after all it`s not their money [ yet ] . Wait until the Bush Tax Cuts expire , then they will see their own cash disappear and that is when the light may come on for them ? Spending , here`s "yer sign" ~~~
Obama Gives $6 Billion to Indonesia, Brunei.............. November 28, 2012
Green energy grants have failed in the States, so why is the White House funding Solyndras of the Far East?
The Obama administration has failed to address the billions of dollars poorly invested in green energy, including the more than $500 million lost by failed solar power company Solyndra.
Instead of attempting to explain why these investments haven’t worked, or finding a better way to determine which companies might succeed, President Obama has decided to throw $6 billion in green energy loans to the nation where he spent some of his childhood, Indonesia, along with its neighbor Brunei. If this is such a killer investment, why wouldn’t the Sultan of Brunei, one of the world’s wealthiest men, toss a few bills toward green energy?
You might wonder: Who will pay for these loans? Most of the money will come from the United States Import-Export Bank.
As Tim Carney has reported, the Export-Import bank is conveniently “off-budget”: “it funds itself with the repayments from old loans and the fees from new ones. So it’s kind of like Fannie Mae was, before its exposure become real and the taxpayers had to come in and bail it out.”
So it doesn’t exactly sound like the brightest idea to pour money into a field that even American companies have been unable to wring a profit out of. Why do we expect giving this huge loan to Indonesia will fair any better? Is this a backdoor way to fund American multi-nationals who have supported the president and who do business in Southeast Asia?
Here’s some good reading on why the federal government’senergy loan guarantees don’t guarantee success (1/2 page). One example: All of the federal funding for nuclear generation has gone to one company, the Vogtle nuclear facility in Georgia. As the Campfire Blog’s T.J. Haley asks, “What happens if something goes wrong with the company? … That’s an entire $8 billion down the drain on one roll of the dice.”
This is an administration that seems to enjoy rolling the dice with the people’s money.

Will there be a Christmas tree in the White House next year?
since the Obamas do not celebrate Christmas or exchange presents, will there be a national lighting ceremony and a Christmas tree in the White House next year or not. i was wondering. what do u think.
INSIDE: i have never listened to Rush Limbaugh, but i bet u watch Keith and Chris dont u.
i dont tell ppl who to watch or listen to as i believe in free speech and the right to listen or watch whoever you choose.
those wanting to know the source, i found it on google. u can look it up too and decide. the obamas do not make a deal of thanksgiving or Christmas, according to a CNN interview. so that is why i wondered.
Answer: Yes
1. First of all, the White House does not belong to the President. It belongs to the people of the United States. We the people of the United States are loaning the building to him during he length of his term of office. If he screws up, we impeach him and remove him.
2. You can reach the President. Exercise your Right to Free Speech and write him a letter. Respectfully express your concerns and ask that he continue the tradition of placing a Christmas Tree in the White House. Also take the time to congratulate him on his success so far regardless of his decision. Be meaningful but concise - remember that many other people are writing him and requesting his time for a variety of reasons.
3. The White House Christmas Tree is a tradition. Most Presidents and their advisory committees don't like to break from American tradition since they know the American people don't like that. Break tradition for no good reason or against the public voice, and you lose votes and support. The US President does not like to look "unamerican" especially while hosting foreign dignitaries in the White House.
4. Most of the President's cabinet members and workers (Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Interior, and so on ...) celebrate Christmas. As mentioned before, the President is not likely to offend his own workers and voters.
5. The President can't do much without the support of the Senate and House of Representatives. They personally represent the voters, and they themselves celebrate Christmas. All government funding, laws, and actions (such as wars) start in the Legislative Branch. The money to purchase and install those trees during Christmas comes from the taxpayer through Congress. The President does not want to lose support and funding because he is seen as "unamerican", "untrustworthy", or "nonsupporting of American values".
6. Finally, regardless of the decision about Christmas Tree, the President is neither right or wrong. Remember that the President is entitled to his own personal vote and opinion just like you and I. There are always more pressing matters that require much quicker action such as the current economy than the decision of a Christmas tree one year from now. It would be very pointless in many ways to pressure the President over an issue one year in to the future over an issue that affects everyone now.
7. Besides, isn't it "Green" to not have a Christmas Tree?

Are the Obamas having a secular Christmas this year?
I was just looking at videos on youtube from Obamas national tree lighting event and then from past Christmass with the Bush family. The Bush family had Christmass that kept to the true meaning of Christmas while the Obamas do not. The Bush family Christmas is very excellent while Obamas is not very good.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Im sure they will. I have no doubts of that.
Answer: because he is trying too hard and christmas probably is the last thing on his mind next to things like ruling our healthcare system and his self image!
