Palin attacks picture of Obama family pet.

[RandySF]

Now, however, it seems that President Obama just isn’t invested in American Christmas traditions enough.

From radio.foxnews.coms’ Todd Starnes (emphasis mine):

The official White House holiday card makes no mention of the word ‘Christmas’ and instead focused on Bo the First Dog based on the wishes of the First Family.

“From our family to yours, may your holidays shine with the light of the season,” read the inside of the card, featuring the presidential seal.

The front of the card features Bo the First Dog lounging by a fireplace. Holiday greenery is draped over the fireplace mantle. Holiday presents are placed on a table underneath a poinsettia – instead of a Christmas tree.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin told Fox News & Commentary that she found the card to be a bit unusual.

“It’s odd,” she said, wondering why the president’s Christmas card highlights his dog instead of traditions like “family, faith and freedom.”

Palin said the majority of Americans can appreciate the more traditional, “American foundational values illustrated and displayed on Christmas cards and on a Christmas tree.”

As for the Obama card, she replied, “It’s just a different way of thinking coming out of the White House.”

1. And if they were stock pictures of the family around a tree

she'd bitch about what they were wearing, how they were sitting, and whether or not the tree looked a little lopsided.

Some people spend their lives looking for things to be offended over. She's one of them.

2. She thinks animals are only meant to be hunted and eaten

[MichiganVote]

7. How much?

How much did FAUX NOIZ pay her for her opinion of the WH Xmas card?

She'd shit if they sent out a Kwanza card, wouldn't she?

[Angry Dragon]

8. Obama showed his ......... when is palin going to show hers??

[orpupilofnature57]

9. Take a nap Sarah ,your tired.

[OhioBlue]

10. she says it is odd that the card highlights the dog instead of

family faith and freedom???

Family: they also sent out pics of the family and they probably consider Bo family
Faith: Separation of Church and State
Freedom: She's free to spew her BS obviously.

Not sure why I even took the time to type this... lol... she is crazy and irrelevant... who cares...

[liberal N proud]

11. When I opened mine, my first thougth was that looked Norman Rockwell like

Pailin has been out of the spotlight for a while an is needing a fix.

She is nothing more than a media whore.

[RebelOne]

12. Rachel Maddow just commented on this. n/t

[Frances]

13. Fox news sent out 2 Xmas cards

Neither had anything to do with Christ. Both were cards bragging about how popular Fox is in comparison with other outlets

[obamanut2012]

14. How many Americans have Christmas cards featuring their pets?

Exactly.

Palin is barking up the wrong tree here, because that dog don;t hurt with pet-loving Americans.

[xfundy]

15. When I first read your header, I got an image in my head...

... of a yappy little dog going after a photograph, sort of like the yappy dogs that go after other dogs when they're on tee vee.

Come to think of it, that image is apt.

[applegrove]

16. Nothing positive about the Obamas is allowed to stand unmolested by the GOP. Nothing.

[Happyhippychick]

17. WAS BO WEARING A FLAG PIN!?!?!????

[richmwill]

18. If the card had said "Rejoice in the birth of our Lord Saviour, the TRUE 'Reason For The Season'"...

...They would have called President Obama a "phony". He can't win with them either way.

[Historic NY]

19. Who sent her a card?

[LadyHawkAZ]

20. Why are we still giving this empty-headed twit attention?

If we ignore her perhaps she will go away.

[aletier_v]

21. Bo & Muppets tagteaming America

Meanwhile Corzine plunders and T-party dildos paint their faces blue and scream "freeeeeeedom"

[SecurityManager]

22. Just Palins way of not thinking

Someone needs to tell her it is to late to run as a republican but the witch party is wide open for a Palin/Coulter ticket!

[Permanut]

23. Okay, so the Christmas tree thing

must have come right out of the Bible, right? That's how we can tell that it's more important than a poinsettia.

[deutsey]

24. I'd love to see her face when someone tells her about the pagan roots of "Christmas" trees

[justiceischeap]

26. Most "Christmas" traditions were actually ways to make pagans conform

to Christianity...Christmas tree since pagans worshipped trees, mistletoe because Druids used it to poison their human sacrifices (and it also tied into the sexual elements of Saturnalia) and presents because it too tied into Saturnalia (a Roman week-long "spring break" type celebration that concluded on 12/25 with a murder of some innocent man or woman). Santa Claus, based on St. Nicholas and the cult who worshipped him...

Yes, it's quite obvious these folks that are crying there's a war on Christmas don't care too much for history. If they really looked into its origins, they would quickly claim that celebrating Christmas is a very non-Christian thing to do. It's almost like worshipping false idols and I know that's forbidden by the Christian religion.

[deutsey]

27. The Puritans actually did ban Christmas for a time

In England under Cromwell and in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

[malaise]

25. That woman is an idiot

Clearly she never looked at Holiday cards from previous presidents

[justiceischeap]

28. Hey Sarah, the Bible denounces Christmas trees -- Jeremiah 10:1-4

"Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O House of Israel: Thus saith the LORD, learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."

And just FYI, Sarah, apparently (and I just learned this cause I'm a heathen) poinsettia's are symbols of Christmas and Jesus' birth and crucifixion.

Not like we're keeping score but I think the Obama Christmas card is more Christian than your idea "American foundational values."
