The Last Bush Christmas

Posted by: Mike's America @ 5:07 pm in Uncategorized  | 5 views

Earlier this week readers got into the holiday by spirit by enjoying the ever popular “Barney Cam” White House video. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to White House Christmas celebrations. It’s been years since I attended my first White House Christmas party hosted by President and Mrs. Reagan, but I am glad to see the Bush’s maintaining and expanding on the holiday tradition. With all the unknowns of what may happen with the next Administration we can all enjoy this last Bush Christmas in the White House!

Bush is smothered in little hands as he says goodbye to a group of children in attendance Monday, Dec. 8, 2008, for the Children’s Holiday Reception and Performance at the White House. The President and Mrs. Laura Bush traditionally invite children to a White House celebration for the holidays, and this year, the audience included kids of active duty and reserve military service members from Russell Elementary at Quantico Marine Base, Dahlgren School at Dahlgren Navy Base and West Meade Elementary at Ft. Meade Army Base. White House photo by Eric Draper

Make sure to check out the ornaments designed by artists for each state and Congressional district which decorate the tree in the Blue Room.

Merry Christmas!

I would say those ornaments you linked to sure as heck beat out the condoms and crack pipes on the Clinton’s tree.

So the redcoats are drumming before the White House? Have they come to burn it down again?

It may be the last Christmas in the White House period since the BHOs don’t celebrate Christmas, and the powers that be are trying to do away with it.

Hey Mike, will there be bleach and soldering irons to honor the Kwanza inventor? I am sure he will be welcomed in a PEBO White House.

Obama doesn’t celebrate Chrismas and he wants us to believe that he has become a Christian? Hum! Anybody has seen his baptism certificate? I guess not, all his records are sealed. Wonder what he wants to hide? I have a clue… do you?

P.S.: BTW, didn’t he go shopping with his kids for a Christmas tree lately? Try to figure this guy out? He is such a liar, a manipulator, a fraud and a flip-flopper that nobody, not even him, knows for sure what he thinks or who he is. Too much cocaine maybe?
