I knew the White House would go to the dogs under the Obama Administration.

Where is the yellow snow. It doesn't show up on a B&W photo.

It went to the dog under Bush! Yellow snow was everywhere.

Beautiful picture!

If it's just a "Holiday" card, why not just order thousands, and send them on EVERY HOLIDAY we observe? Just really tired of liberals taking away EVERY tradition we hold dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm ready for all these libs to create their own universe, but not a Parallel one! As far away as possible! But then they wouldn't have anyone to denigrate, and would no doubt start on each other! After all, it IS their mission!

Since I don't have cable, I haven't watched Fox in a long time although I do go to their website, so I tried a Google search on Fox complaining about Obama's Christmas cards. I found something about Sarah Palin making idiotic claims but nothing about Fox. Just because Mrs. Palin is an occasional political commentater on Fox News does not mean Fox is responsible for every idiotic comment she makes. One could just as easily blame TLC, she had a show on that network.

NBC actually calls this news??? A f#cking dog that belongs to our "Anointed-One"???

un-f#cking believable...

How about the real news, NBC... instead of hiding the fact that OBOZO is the biggest joke since Jimmy Carter!!!

HeyThumper, guess you're still sore you lost last month. Too bad so sad. Don't hang with NBC, you're definitely Fox. And for those who are so sorry we don't have a Christmas tree on the card, well then we'd offend the other religions and we try to follow the separation of church and state part of the constitution. Oh my, we just can't please all of you so we'll please ourselves.

@Cameron - welcome to the world of politics. When Bush was president, Democrats accused him of propaganda with a "photo op" in Iraq when he surprised the troops with a Thanksgiving feast. Prior to that, he was accused by the left of not caring about the soldiers (which was pathetically laughable). So no matter what HE did, the left found a way to criticize him.

And by the way....no president in US history has ever had near 54 Christmas trees in the White House (called "holiday" trees by the White House for the record). The Obama's are living it up well in the economy they now own 100%. If a Republican president were gorging it up like they do while unemployed has hovered around 8% for the last four years, the main stream media would be lambasting them. Of course, when Bush was president and unemployment was 5.9% (and gas was $2/gallon), the same media and their left wing pundits were telling us we were all headed for the soup kitchens for survival.

Just because Mrs. Palin is an occasional political commentator on Fox News does not mean Fox is responsible for every idiotic comment she makes.

Thank you, Matthew. A rare voice of reason in a sea of emotion-fed liberalism. I would say the same about that idiot Chris "thrilling feeling up the leg over Obama" Matthews on MSNBC, but he's a full time paid blowhard.

Not when you're a closet Muslim...lol

There's something wrong when someone laughs at their own jokes.

Oh Lord Starbuck!!! Are you gonna be all over my ass again today too? You were a pain in my ass yesterday.....

Are you a closet gay? You seem to have an affliction about asses.

It's a holiday card when it is sent to people of various faiths. If I were Jewish or another faith, I would not want to receive nothing but Christmas cards. Have a little consideration for the recipient and not just the sender.

Starbuck, not sure how or why that's relevant but sorry to disappoint, but I'm straight as an arrow.... Any other personal questions you would like to ask?

Being a christian when I receive a card in December it is a Christmas card. You can call it a Hanukkah card or whatever.

I have noticed, though, that cards intended for business associates tend to say "Happy Holidays." That's what I'd call playing your cards right.

lilmorts the continued comments about Obama being a Muslim just shows you inability to understand the fact he is a Christian. Happy Holiday is another way of saying Happy Holy Day. Christmas is a Holy Day in the Chriatian faith, so the greeting is appropiate.

It is called a "hoilday card" becasuse this is the "Hoilday Season" and while you might not be aware of it (livinf under a rock can do that to you!) -- not every single Amercan is a Christian (every hear of Jewish people?) -- It is a nice card -- Anyone one who attacks it (especally FOX (made-up) News is just showing what limited intellogence and ignorance -- compunded with too much time and access to the airwaves. Happy Hoildays!

Chill out Dennis, I was joking... I honestly don't care what religion he is..... Just a joke...

Why?

There is more than one religion celebrating, and or remembering events this time of year.

Sorry if you were expecting just one religion to be represented this time of year.

Actually, Christmas, is a Christian celebration, Christ is actually in the name. I understand there are several celebrations this time of year, but there is only one religion for Christmas.

I guess the question is, if you celebrate Christmas, why not say Merry Christmas on your cards? I'm a Christian but I wouldn't be offended if someone sent me a card that said Happy Hanukkah. Whatever you celebrate and believe, be proud.

This article is about the Obama Holiday card.

There was no tie in to Christmas in the article at all. Let alone the word appearing at all in it. You are adding in your personal religious beliefs by bringing up Christmas.

Lilmorts, are you saying that the President should send out different cards to different people? Or maybe only 'Christians' should get a card? It is a shame that you can only tell a Christian by the name he uses!

No, I'm saying, whatever your religion, be proud. Our society is too busy tip-towing around each other for rear of offending someone. If people truly get offended by your religion that's their problem. Learn to accept each other. Be proud of who you are, send a Hanukkah or Kwanzaa card to your Christian friends. What's the big deal. You'll never make everyone happy so don't kill yourself trying.

Christmas is just a repurposed Yuletide (winter solstice), and St. John Baptist day is just a repurposed summer solstice celebration. Christ was actually born some time after harvest.

Okay, then instead of sending a Christmas card, send a Yuletide or a harvest card out. Whatever. I'm just saying it shouldn't matter what your beliefs are, you shouldn't have to worry about offending people of other faiths. A card is nothing more than wishing others well.

Thank you lilmorts

Ok, lilmorts. I misunderstood your post. Totally agree.

lilmorts: No, I'm saying, whatever your religion, be proud. Our society is too busy tip-towing around each other for rear of offending someone. If people truly get offended by your religion that's their problem. Learn to accept each other. Be proud of who you are, send a Hanukkah or Kwanzaa card to your Christian friends.

No it is the first lady!!

Ace is right, I can totally see Michelle's face in there.......

george, wake up. You're looking in a mirror.

Hey George, just more sour grapes from the repubs.

Hands down the idiot post of the day which makes you the idiot of the day. Or just another sore loser who is lost and cant find their way home.

If Romney had won, he would have had his dog in a cage on top of his car.

Miaw: What a wonderful, creative and humorous visual! Thank You and Merry Christmas from Maryland!

You sicken me. Can't you find something better to do than sitting on your ass and watching Faux News? Read a book or take a walk out of the trailer park.

I think everybody lost on this election.

No, majority of the people won! Only the Romneynites loss.

WeAllHaveOptions is right. We all lost. Though you may not see it at the moment, now that another presidential election won't be an option, there's noting to lose. I think in the next year or two, everyone will see how much was lost in the 2012 election.

The Christ that the guy you voted for says lived in America?

No. It's Happy Holidays: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Winters Solstice, New Years Eve and I'm sure many that I don't even know about. You have a very narrow minded view of the large world you live in.

How very narrow minded, ignorant, and sad.

For me, it reflects the Original "Reason for the Season": it's a solstice card.

Hey, do you call yourself a Christ follower? Cause you're not. Pharisee.

jjj is exactly why I have problems with organized christianity. This individual is supposed to be a follower of Christ? If this is what "christians" sound like and believe, I want no part of them.

Dave, as I was reading the various posts, I was going to respond but you did it for me. Everyone of your points is valid and thank you for a great post.

Well said, sir. It is not only Christmas that is being celebrated. It terrifies me to know that there is so much ignorance and HATE in this country, and all over the world. I choose to live and let live. I do what makes me happy, as long as I'm not hurting anyone else in the process. I choose to say "Happy Holiday" because I am a religious minority and don't feel the need to explain myself every time I say "Have a Blessed Yule!"

It is a shame that you feel the way you do toward Christians. When you are in need call them and they will come. Try loving instead of hating.

Dave I was with you on your post until you started to slander the Christians. I say "Have a Merry Christmas" because that is the holiday I am celebrating. If they came back with have a Happy Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice or a Happy Hanuka I would not be offended in the least. At least they are speaking up for their beliefs.

Excellent response Weall. I've followed that line of thinking for years. I even wear a badge that says"It's ok to say Merry Christmas!" In fact....another good reason for saying Merry Christmas is the fact many are not aloud to say it ...even in this country. Our Kroger store does not have the word "Christmas" in the store and they will only respond to your Merry Christmas greeting with...thanks, or happy holidays to you....or anything but saying the word Christmas. That's what their employees have been told....even though they have a shopping aisle marked "Hannakah" . So...Merry Christmas to all!

Touche Dave, touche

You have no imagination as much as you think you do. Mittens Robme lost. Get over it. Move on and get a job because they are obviously out there (in case you didn't notice unemployment dropped to 7.7%).

If you could only put that energy into making our country better...<sigh>

Racist idiot !!!

I don't think there was anything mentioned in his post racist.

Well i will venture that guess for you. There are some people in this country who are still dyed in wool racists. Thankfully, they are dying out so this kind of snarkness will someday stop.

We all have opinion: Read the post again. Big momma just to name one is very racists. Either you are a racists or are someone who doesn't understand racism because you are not one and if so, good for you.

I have a very white friend that has the nickname, Big Momma. No I try to refrain from racism, I have many good friends of different races, I try to look inside the person. They're many whites I don't like, but have been referred to as a racist because I don't support Obama. It has nothing to with racism, I just don't believe in his political stances.

Sure about that? The president's salary is paid by us but how he chooses to spend it is his choice. Aren't you nitpicking a bit?

And you didn't pay for George and Nancy Bush's Christmas cards (Btw, their Christmas cards also had 'Happy Holidays')? And you would've paid for Mitch's and Ann's if they had won. So, what makes this President so different from others in history and those yet to come? I hate to venture a guess!

Who is Nancy Bush?

Oops. Meant to have corrected that before my time ran out, but got sidetracked.

And you didn't pay for George and Laura Bush's Christmas cards (Btw, their Christmas cards also had 'Happy Holidays')? And you would've paid for Mitch's and Ann's if they had won. So, what makes this President so different from others in history and those yet to come? I hate to venture a guess!

Tom don't burn your precious, limited mental energy resources worrying about such trivial matters. It's very evident that you're the only person on the blog who is concerned about such. You better worry how you're going to keep Patsy around, as I'm near certain she's fed up with your stingy, selfish personna.

If you were a "concerned" citizen, you would be an "informed" citizen. Just accept that you are repeating the same bull$$^t that got you and your party nowhere.

So Ivy, what your sayen is, the Obarry's did not eat BO for turkey day?

Concerned... thank Newsvine you can vote up for your own nonsense eh?

Look back. The Bush's card also said Happy Holidays; yet, nary a criticism was said!

You are a fool! He was raised in Hawaii and he shouldn't go home for the holidays?

Stanley Dunham is the grandfather of Barack Obama. He was born in 1918 and served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army during World War II, enlisting just after the attacks on Pearl Harbor. Stanley and his wife Madelyn raised Obama in Honolulu, Hawaii. In addition to Obama, Stanley is related to six US presidents: James Madison, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush. He died in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1992, and is buried at the Punchbowl National Cemetery.

Justice, Need to check you facts. And how much vacation did you take this past year and how much did you spend? Are you a 1%er?

catthepat,

Well, it's none of your business but I am a .5%er and have not had a vacation since 2008. Work everyday, pay my taxes, and watch FOX news. So, I am the evil one, the evil tax payer taking from the poor and giving to the rich.

Your dilusional.

ShakingMyHead61,

Listen up Obama defender. He is going for 21 days during one of the most critical times in the history of this country. Taking both Air Force One type planes, costing US tax payers tens of millions of dollars. This is slap in the face of hardworking and struggling Americans.

You keep shaking that head til your dizzy with Obamalove.

Justice, a Christmas gift just for you!

Bush set to beat Reagan’s vacation record.

By Matt Corley on Aug 10, 2007 at 3:10 pm

Yesterday, President Bush took off for his vacation home in Crawford, TX, where he has already “spent all or part of 418 days of his presidency.” With 17 months left in office, Bush is on course to beat “the presidential vacation-time record holder,” the late Ronald Reagan, “who tallied 436 days in his two terms.” Bush’s vacation will mark the 65th time he has visited Crawford as President.

Oh, say it isn't so! You are a pitiful human being.

ShakingMyHead61: You're absolutley correct...But, Bush 'Worked' while @ the ranch..he did'nt go just to smoke 'Kona Gold' & eat "Dog' like Obarry the Pathological, Racist, screw the 98% Liar in chief!

Concerned Ctzn, we all understand you are a miserable excuse for a human being but that really doesn't excuse your lack of respect for the rest of us who are not. Crawl back under your rock... you might miss the latest report from Yawn Insanity on Fux News spews.

Maybe. Were you good this year?

Yes if you send him one out he will return the favor, most Presidents do.

Catthepat, because they are haters... when you allocate your resources and limited intelligence to that, it's all you can manage... nonstop

Good boy, Fox News! Good boy!

Bo on vacation with first family:

They bare NOT Muslims and repeating so often will never make it true. Get a hold of yourself and stop letting blind hate rule your life. It's sad that you have allowed your hate to become who you are.

I would rather see them be Muslims than the teachings by Jeremiah Wright.

Do you remember 2011?
