Capitol Christmas Tree Celebrates Obama not Baby Jesus?
December 20, 2011

The 63-foot Sierra White Fir 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.

What is the Democrat Party ? Many people will say the Democrats are for the working man of America, but if you go back around 1903 you see a change to Socialism, today this country Constitution and are way of like as Christians are under attack from the Socialist left, we are now killing are baby’s because women have the right to kill this child because she does not have time for this baby, has anyone stop to thank their mother that she said YES to have you. In 1963 a Liberal judge took prayer out of schools the very first attack on are religon, today are children can’t even say the lord prayer on the football field. I ask how much longer must we sit back and watch as the Democrats tear apart America exceptionalism and keep pushing their Socialism on the American Christian.

Yes, let’s get something started to get rid of Obama. One thing is to not vote for him. I’m not. He should be put on the stand under oath.
Why did they let him say what was supposed to be on the tree. It’s not his tree, it’s the people’s tree.

Good point! None of us have done anything to stop Obama, except complain through bloggs. Obama and his Commie thugs will steal the election and we will continue to cry and moan. We honestly believe voting will get rid of this menace. We believe the best qualified GOP opponent will usurp Obama. What we can believe is Obama and his thugs will beat the GOP at every turn and will manipulate the ballots in favor for Obama.

ED, I agree that something has died in D.C., but I do not think it is CHRISTMAS.
There are so many dead (zombies) that work, play and live in D.C., but not D.C. alone, that have either lost or never knew the reason so many around the world celebrate this special time of the year.
That guy “O” seems to be one that has disdain for our SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, and shows his feelings without concern of the message he sends. This will not pass!
The tree is not the important thing in this story. The celebration of a Blessed Birth is all that needs to be told!
GOD Bless The U.S.A.

Shows you how arrogant this man is, Love me because I’m God Now, such as the war on Christmas. If he is re-elected we will become a country unrecognizable. I am worried about our freedoms are safety and economy. This man Hates us and it shows with every word and every look with his nose in the air how disgusted he is with the way of America. From day one he started tearing us apart. Remember United we stand divided we fall. His whole reason for being. HOW DARE we rebut his values or policies. With him in office we aren’t allowed to eat what we want, raise our children we aren’t allowed to speak freely. I say Merry Christmas. He can say what ever he wants. I can’t believe how many people bought his change hope bull. The nerve of this administration, Now he wants tax cuts when he has faulted the congress for wanting to cut them all along, while he wants them raised. Double dribble and two faced. Democrat’s aren’t uniting they are dividing. Hypocrites another campaign stunt, heading down the pike with all droll spilling out of his mouth. His campaign people with talking points and war on American’s. People need to start thinking clearly. Obama is dividing this country and wants to completely take over.

If the Democrats stopped their class warefare and their war against Democracy, they would all be out of a job. It is the same with Jesse Jackson and Al sharpton. Every program and entitlement is designed to divide this once great nation into pockets and factions of little lemmings that will do whatever this Administration whishes as long as their entitlements keep rolling in while all the while hating everybody white, different from themselves, and each other.
Multiculturalism, Diversity, and Entitlements have brought America to her knees. Don’t kid yourself, that is exactly what they were designed to do and what Party is perfect to carry out this plan to destroy our way of life? The party of lazy and gimmie morons with I.Q.’s lower than room temperature. The Democrat Socialist Progressives led by Oblameo, Reid, And Pelosi. All card carrying commie pinkos that won’t be happy until your children wake up slaves on the continent their Forefathers conquered and are stuck paying the rest of the world’s bills via their Dog Crap Agenda.
Christ didn’t blame Bush for the world’s sins. He took them upon himself and died on the Cross so that we may have eternal life. In a country that was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, as much as the Demoncrats hate that fact, these ass clowns in Washington, DC. should at least acknowledge that fact and hang a few ornaments pertaining to the Birth of Christ on “The Peoples Tree!” It is a “Christmas” tree, not Kwansaa Tree!

Hate filled? Racist? Mamam, are you reading the same words I am? It’s folks like you that have desensitized the true meaning of words. Harsh, critical, brash, or what ever verb blows your shirt up but lady, this aint hate or racist so please, use your choice of words more carefully or just shut your trap!One other thing, I AM A NATIVE AMERICAN, born on American soil, birthed by an American mother and father. It matters not one wit where my ancestors were from before they came to America, our American nativity began with the birth of their first child, period. If you were born here then by God you are as much a Native American as any of the tribal bedouins who happened to roam this land when my ancestors arrived. Get over it Rachel, you are nothing more than a useful idiot and would serve your lord so much better if you would keep your naive’, ignorant opinions to yourself. Jed out.

We also need to put a stop to the ‘carerr polititions and get new blood such as our founders envisioned. They sadly didnt see the politition for life or they would have written in term limits salary limits etc. Now we must complete the work of our forefathers and return this country to a constitutional republic that they envisioned.

A Christian film, “The Perfect Gift” explains the symbolism of the Christmas tree. The evergreen represents eternal life. Cutting a Christmas tree down represents Christ’s death on the cross…putting up the Christmas tree represents Christ’s resurrection. So, Barry Soetoro can go shove his ‘national tree’, ‘winter festival tree’, etc. up his Muslim keester! The tree is a Christian symbol and ‘we the people’ must insure that it always remains a CHRIST-mas tree!

This GREAT COUNTRY and this world is so confused by those that would do them harm. The sad lives so many are now living is a result of so much greed and self interest by the very ones that we have hired to run our governments. We are so naive to believe in a message given by a person or an organization that promises hope & change. This is just another false statement, i.e., “a chicken in every pot”. Remember?
We can never allow the true meaning of CHRISTMAS or the message from JESUS to be held hostage by so few. The knowing of HIS WORD, and the practice of HIS FAITH is all that is needed. But, somewhere along the way it may become necessary to protect our freedoms and rights by a more agressive show of strength. Just be prepared for things yet to come.
GOD Bless The U.S.A.

Why can’t we make them use the same rationale in “Seperation of Church and State” to take the ornaments off or take the tree down? “Obamanism” seems to be a religion in some households… just the socialist ones but nonetheless… Obama is the state and worshipping him is the religion. They need to be seperated. Maybe we should just remove him from the state (or all of the states) nand end this problem.
