Bogus email Christmas myth dogs Obama


www.politico.com
On the campaign trail, President Obama fought off rumors that he was educated at a radical Muslim madrassa. Now, in the White House, ...

... there's a growing urban legend that he won't have a Christmas tree.

The White House Historical Association has been receiving calls and emails about an alleged Obama decree that the Christmas trees in the White House would now be known as "holiday trees." And artists submitting designs for ornaments on the Blue Room tree were not allowed to depict Christian themes.

"It's strange," said Maria Downs, the historical association's spokeswoman. "They're almost saying, 'Are you aware of this?'"

One of the chain emails circulating around in-boxes claims that "a friend at church who is a very talented artist" got a letter from the White House saying not to send any ornaments painted with a religious theme.

You forgot to ask if Obama has stopped beating his wife.


I thought the rumors would stop after the election, but I guess not. This is what they call Rove's continuous campaigning. They are looking toward 2010 mid terms and the 2012 elections. I suppose we should expect it from now on because the only chance the right can win is by misleading and misdirection. They can't convince the majority without it which proves they are wrong. If they were right, they wouldn't have to resort to these tactics.

LOL He's giving our missles to China? That's better than the Christmas tree bologna. The sad thing is that there are still some people who really believe this. Granted it's the really "challenged" folks for the most part. I don't mean that derogatorily but just take a look at some of these "teabaggers" with there Obama is Hitler signs. They really are destroying the Republican party.

Destroy away as far as I am concerned...It would not surprise me one iota if in 2012 we see a split Republican party with one branch running with the most extremely conservative member they can find and the official party running with someone more moderate in comparison.

As for the Democrats they are barely holding together as it is.

I do not want a one party system...Republican or Democrat...I would like to see us rewrite the constitution and adopt a parliamentary system with dozens of parties, coalitions and votes of no confidence.

That sounds good to me as well. I have not been very happy with the Dems this round. Can't see too much difference. Some, but not a lot.

I'm not an Obama fan but even i have to agree with this. It seems every week there is someone posting something that flat out lies or tries to tell you something about Obama that isn't true.

The man is president, let it go people. I wish people were climbing the walls this high when Bush was in residence.
