Obama Holiday Tree rumor is false

I've had a few e-mail questions asking is President Obama having a Holiday Tree instead of the traditional White House Christmas Tree.

That internet rumor is false according to a wide variety of sources including Snopes.com and the Annenberg Public Policy Center.

According to Snopes .com, the rumor is a carryover from the Bush Administration policy of prohibiting religiously-themed ornaments.

For more information on the White House Christmas tree, which comes from Arizona this year, go to www.capitolchristmastree2009.org.

The ornaments for this year's tree come from Arizona school students who made more than 10,000 of them for the Capitol Christmas Tree and 80 smaller companion trees that are being provided for federal agency offices around Washington D.C.

Obama : 11/24/2009
If you aren't worried about these radicals in the White House then I doubt you ever will be. Just a few radical thoughts.
> Obama doesn't seem to have the same love for America that I developed as a young boy.
> Obama has surrounded himself with an avowed communist who was forced out...Van Jones. Anita Dunn, his communication expert said she looked to Mao TeSung for guidance. The guy killed millions of Chinese. Another, Cass Sustein, has recommened sterilizing the water supply to control births. Rob Emmauel, the Presidents right hand guy has a brother that advocates withholding medical health for older people. Shall I go on? Obama said while in college that he sought out other militant blacks and marxists professors. He sat under the anti-American preacher for 20 years. He can't bring himself to use the "terrorist" word. He's soft on crime and terrorism. When will you forget your party and look at the man? They can't keep themselves from spending, health, cap and trade, bail outs. They are ruining our great capitalist system. We simply can't pay for all this. Obama has piled up more debt combined than all other American presidents in total. That ought to tell you something.

Love America

Obama is our big toe. : 11/15/2009
I mean, really? I got the garage full of ammo I got 4 old cars on blocks out back stuffed full of reloadin supplies. I been teachin my duck dog and the wife's Jack Russet to brang me boxes of shotgun shells while I sit on the commode. (Prepares thim for teargas) I bought 700 case of VI-EEENER Sausages at Sam's. I bought a second hand water tower cause boddled water cost to much. I bought 10 palattes of R-O-C colas and Moonpies to round out the 3 basic food groups. First batch I put in the attic and had to call the insurance man. That there wasn't a good i-dee. Second batch went in the storm cellar. I got a pallet of bob wire and a fence charger when they had em on down at the Feed store. I got 25 layin hens livin above the garage. I bought three trash cans full of gasoline- Biggunz Got me 666 cartons of Doral ciggerettes and an ALL drum full of Redman chewbaccer. That's all the insurance check would buy. I don't chew tabaccer, the tabaccer's a home remedy for snakebite, for them folks down at the church. I went to the WaLLMarks and bought ever 22 shell they had for a year. You can get them 5 gallon cans of cheese doodles, along with them plastic kegs of ku-laid down there at the to. I bought a do it yourself catfish stinkbait makin outfit. I had a big insplurgement of upgradin the technology to DeeVeeDee out at the house. I bought a Chinese tank engine off e-bay to turn into an e-lectric generator. I tried to convert the wifes electric mixer into a machine gun but all I did was blow a hole in the cook stove. Just in case I bought an extra 5 gallon jar of mayonaise for emergency sandwiches. Hadn't figured out what to use for bread yet though. Obama's gotta do somethin, like ban guns or somethin, Or else I'm a gonna just have to have me a garage sale. Yesterday one of the hens ate a brick of 22 shells when I twernt watchin. Well then she went over to the neighbors pasture to chase june bugs. Well she laid her an egg...and drecktly he came along and runned over it with his tractor...and it blowed that Rowbinder tractor plum near to perdition. I wonder what cheese doodles brang on the second hand market?

Lighten up Francis!
