Oh-Bama Tree, Oh-Bama Tree: US Capitol Christmas Tree Pays Homage to Obama, But Not to Jesus


As one who conveniently ignores all things Christian when there’s any conceivable possibility that someone of “another faith” could push forward their bottom lip in a pout of offence, Barack Obama has repeatedly demonstrated his propensity toward portraying himself as America’s politically inept correct “Panderer-in-Chief“. Now it appears that, as the “Narcissist-in-Chief“, he is worthy to replace the Reason for the Season with anything other than the rationale of why we call a Christmas tree a Christmas tree.  Should we be the least bit surprised from an administration who is perfectly at peace — and plans to resume formal contact — with an anti-Semitic and anti-Christian Islamist “Freedom and Justice” party whose own official motto states unequivocally that “Allah is our objective – The Prophet is our leader – The Qur’an is our law – Jihad is our way – Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope”? …

“(CNSNews.com) – The 63-foot Sierra White Fir that was lighted at the U.S. Capitol Grounds on Dec. 6 as the official 2011 Capitol Christmas Tree includes a prominently displayed ornament paying homage to President Barack Obama, but includes no ornament readily visible to a person standing near the tree’s base that uses the word “Christmas,” or includes an image of the Nativity, or bears the name or image of Jesus Christ.

On the north side of the tree–at a height of about 4 feet and easily visible to people standing near it—there is an ornament that says: ‘I ♥ President Obama.’

When asked whether the tree included any ornaments that mention or depict Christmas or the birth of Jesus, the office of the Architect of the Capitol, which is responsible for the tree, told CNSNews.com that it ‘does not have a policy nor any restrictions concerning the themes for the ornaments’ that go on the tree. The office could not say, however, whether or not this year’s Christmas tree does in fact include even a single ornament that directly references or depicts Christmas or Christ.

The office of the Architect of the Capitol also did not directly respond to the question of whether any other elected official—in addition to President Obama—is mentioned on any ornament hung on the tree.

‘There may be ornaments like those you describe near the top of the tree, or they could have been obscured or moved due to wind or weather,’ the architect’s office said in a written statement to CNSNews.com.” Read more.
