Obama wanted “non-religious Christmas” at the White House

mo_uglyOne would tend to think that Social Secretary Desiree Rogers is in enough trouble as it is with the White House “party crasher gate” with the Salahi Muslims. But apparently, she doesn’t have anything to worry about. Rogers reportedly told a gathering of former social secretaries that the Obamas did not intend on putting the Nativity scene on display – a longtime East Room tradition in the White House. Maybe Rev. Wright didn’t approve of the display, thinking it was racist or something. Todd Starnes of Fox News Radio got a e-mail response from Mrs. America Hater Michelle Obama’s “office” with this response:

“It has been a part of White House Christmas decorations in the past, it is on display in the East Room for all to enjoy and it will continue to be a part of White House Christmas decorations moving forward.”

“The President spoke movingly about the scene the crèche depicts in his remarks at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree last week: 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. While this story may be a Christian one, its lesson is universal. It speaks to the hope we share as a people. And it represents a tradition that we celebrate as a country – a tradition that has come to represent more than any one holiday or religion, but a season of brotherhood and generosity to our fellow citizens.”

As for whether there had been discussions about “inclusiveness,” the White House replied, “Discussions about inclusiveness did not include whether or not to display it but rather how to display it during the Hannukah party.”

    No el presidente the story is that God sent his son Christ to earth in the form of man to take on our sins and die in our place so we are forgiven. Belief in Christ as Saviour and Redeemer is the only way to eternity with God in heaven. That is what Christmas is about.

    Holy BIBLE – John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    DinnerGate was a planned scam to counter and take the focus off ClimateGate .. allowed everyone to focus on the former than the latter. However, it was weak and didn’t do enough to divert attention.

    It did for Glenn Beck though.
