The 'Card' Obama sent out only focuses on a dog lying in front of a fireplace staring at it. That's right, a dog. There are no references to Christmas nor are there any religious quotes and that has prompted widespread rumors that the reason for this is because he is a
'Muslim'. It really makes you wonder. Governor Palin noticed it odd too and said the majority of Americans can appreciate the more traditional, “American foundational values illustrated and displayed on Christmas cards and on a Christmas tree.”. I wholeheartedly agree and I am sure the majority of many Americans would too. I remember the first year he was in office the Obama's had 'Mao' ornaments hanging from the tree in the White House. That rang bells across America. So what do we make of this? We have a president that omits 'Merry Christmas' and even bible passages from the so called 'Holiday Card' sent out to Americans this Christmas. We have a president who omitted god from every annual Thanksgiving address since he has been in office. On the other hand, we do have a president who say's the Muslim 'Call To Prayer' is the most beautiful thing he has ever heard and also said "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction,". Hmmmm!!!!
Oh come on, Really? I thought the card was nice and it looked like a Christmas sceen to me. Sometimes I realy wonder about people that would post something like this Whine. Oh, FYI, Palin is the Governor of Nothing, heck she did not even have the backbone to finish the term she was elected to serve, calling her governor is an nsult to the people of Alaska.

Because as we all know, dogs are held in such high regard in Arab culture. Do you guys ever listen to yourself?
Palin was referring to when a right-wing blog posted a grainy photo, allegedly of an ornament on the White House Christmas tree in 2009 showing a reproduction of Andy Warhol's "Mao" portrait.
Good response, but remember who you're dealing with. Even if they're familiar with the name Andy Warhol, they're not in his target audience, wouldn't know of his influence or why his images are iconic.

another tempest in a teapot that, imo, will hurt the GOP in the coming election. some of the ornaments appeared to be collages of famous americans ( james dean, ronald reagan etc ) and among those were andy warhol's famous portrait of mao. whoever had the task of approving the tree most likely saw it as an nod to the famous american artist over an homage to the communist dictator ( ........... who was posing for photo ops with the US president nearly 40years previous ).
Don't you know - ART is just a communist plot to take over this Country. Or so anyone who falls for this garbage would think.
Because as we all know, dogs are held in such high regard in Arab culture.
"Though dogs are not allowed for pets, they are allowed to be kept if used for work, such as guarding the house or farm, or when used for hunting purposes."
we know that the secret service guards the house so........ unless that dog is hunting i wouldn't include the card as evidence that the president is muslim.

Such people, if they know of Warhol, are the type to remark "my 3rd grader could do that" in response to his art, and they appreciate art like velvet Elvis and poker playing dogs.

yep. i know. i'm a working commercial artist. you'd think a guy that makes his living selling designs for advertising, marketing and packaging to private companies would be opposed to the communist take-over of the US but....... obviously i'm just silly that way.
