As Americans face a fiscal cliff, the Obamas make do with 54 Christmas trees Because he's been in the White House he feels it safe to unveil his evil tree plot! Math scary! And more flexibility...TO PUT UP CHRISTMAS TREES!! How do we know those trees weren't grown in RUSSIA COMRADE???* I thought that was a myth? Wait you care about the environment now? Hippies. THEY PUT THEIR DOG ON THE TREE!!! and the whole thing is to honor the troops and veterans and a lot of the other ornaments were made by the children of soldiers currently serving overseas THEIR DOG!!! MATH SCARY!And the access to the President is restricted?? What the holy fuck is this: Communist Russia???*Because it was grown by Latinos! Says FOX News Pander Department: Latino Edition
I like how it's just the Russians in general, rather than citing some kind of meeting or anything really. "Them Russians them Russians and them Chinamen. And them Russians."
Oh, man, that Fox news Latino site might deserve it's own thread. They literally found an author who is "Latina-ish".
What you don't understand is that this is just the next front in the War on Christmas. It may not seem like much, but it's going to get exponentially worse: Obama is going to have 54 Christmas trees this year, 2,916 next year, 157,464 in 2014, 8,503,056 in 2015, and finally for his last Christmas in the White House--assuming he somehow doesn't declare himself President-for-life!--he'll have 459,165,024, effectively denying Christmas trees to the rest of us and ending Christmas for ever. Chilling, right?
I think you are right on the War on Christmas angle, but not the context. This is a brilliant political move by Obama. You see, in order for Fox News and the Right to attack him on the tree issue, they have to suggest that Obama take down Christmas trees, that he's spending too much money on promoting Christmas and that perhaps he should take Christmas out of politics... what? Is Fox News now declaring a War on Christmas?! Oh how the tables have turned!
I don't think it's much of a political move, and more likely if anyone dug into the facts of the story it probably has to do with how many decorations they were sent by random school groups and wanting to display them all. But yes, it's a fun example of "oh my god how DARE you.. celebrate that thing we keep saying you hate."
Liberals are engaging in a War on Christmas by cutting down all the Christmas Trees. If there are no Christmas Trees left, then there will be no more Christmas. Holiday Trees do not contain the requisite gluten.
None. They're grown on Christmas tree farms for the sole purpose of being chopped down, so they'll go down no matter who buys them! And if there's no demand, fewer trees will be grown in the first place. Odds are, those 54 trees will be recycled into compost, not burnt, so it will take some time for decomposers to return that carbon to the atmosphere even when the White House is done with them. There is a carbon cost here in terms of transporting and fertilizing the trees, but that's true of farming in general, and it's much less than the carbon that would be released if you burned all the strawmen this writer's putting up.
He has twice as many trees in the WH as Bush did in his final Christmas there. TAX AND SPEND. OBAMACARE.
So does this upgrade him from Secret Muslim to Super Secret Muslim? That is some deep, pine-scented cover.
I thought fresh trees were $20-$30 depending on size and species. Then again, those are Missouri prices so they might be more expensive in DC?
None of you are upset my the heartless abuse of child military labour? Forced to slave to produce trinkets for the Obama?
