Nope, not real. You'll see in just a very short time.
So far, even the liberal blogs aren't claiming it's false, they are

them. Supposedly the WH has even issued a response saying they were
unaware of these particular ornaments.

A chinese christmas?

Well, it looks to me tha if the ornaments are real, then with
Chairman Mao on one, I'd say thats Chinese already.

That one is probably part of the deal for the Chi-coms to buy our debt.



Too late....

Well, they had famous personalities, like Hedda Lettuce, designing
them.

That site seems bogus. If you look at:
http://timpanogos.wordpress.com/2009...ia-no-kidding/

You'll see that the tree is in fact a Douglas fir, not a Fraser as
that site indicates. Another link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Christmas_tree

Notice that this also indicates the 2009 Obama tree is a Douglas. So,
that website that indicates the decorations are fake is in itself a
fake, as it's sole point is that they say the tree is a Fraser, and it
is not.

Nice try, but it still appears your boy has Mao and Hedda on the WH
tree. Classy.

And you guys will beleive anything, huh? ~snerk~

Is common sense dead in America?

Where was the righteous indignation when the Bush administration
prohibited religious themes on ornaments?


There was certainly no indignation from the left back then... I'm sure
Bush was trying to be
sensitive to the foaming-at-the-mouth "no nativity scene" idiots. If
there had been religious
ornaments allowed, the WH would have been under siege from every group
imaginable. CNN, MSNBC,
CBS, ABC, etc. camped outside the gates.

But Mao? Common sense is dead.

They're real. They were 'the' item of discussion on the radio this
morning.


Besides, given the current occupants of the White House, why would
anyone think these are unusual ornaments?

What's amazing is that the right will try ANYTHING to make Obama look
bad. Did the other side scrutinize every single ornament that the
Bush's had on their eight trees?


No, but that's because Laura did! Do you really think if there was one
there that could draw fire, it would not have been mentioned by the
Minority Media?

So...three of the right-wing crackpots here - JustWAITaFreak, Jackoff,
and Herring - believe the right-wing nonsense. What a surprise.

You have to admit, it's just as valid for a Christian to get upset
over what they feel is a desecration of a religious holiday symbol as
it is a for a non-beleiver to get their panties in a wad over a
nativity scene.

Besides, the ship has sailed long ago on Christians having any
"special" rights. Only special, offended groups get special
accomodations these days.

But I do have to wonder... what makes Mao a target of only "Christian
Right Wingnuts" in your mind? Any thinking, compassionate, free
person should have an issue with him, no?

Merry Christmas, Gene.
