No. Like the families of the men and women who serve in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and Marines. Who don't deserve to be dissed by the people who dislike the President.

Naturally growing Washington trees are much too tall to be Christmas trees. We have a ton of tree farms, although it seems wasteful to ship a tree all the way across the country when there are plenty of them in the Northeast.
Yes, you are. I'm done talking about Christianity with people who know so little about it. They think they've thrown out some zinger, and it turns out, it was a fail! (That verse about the tree.)

Do Washington trees spring up fully grown? Interesting! Last year's tree came from Colorado. We grow 'em pretty big here too.

BTW, I guess there are trees shipped out from WA state:

Remember that most American atheists are just recovering Christians. It's a 12 step program.

So if someone, at some point, refers to it as a "holiday tree" and you feel the urge to be offended by such reference or are afraid that Muslims, Jews or atheists are chipping away at Christmas, rest easy. It has, indeed, been publicly established as an actual Christmas tree. In observance of Christmas. You heard it here first
Obama to eat turkey he pardoned for Thanksgiving!

Turkey: Hey, you pardoned me. Period. We have it on videotape.

President: Nah, I just delayed your roll out.

OK, mea culpa! Last year's NATIONAL Christmas tree came from Virginia. The CAPITOL Christmas tree is the one that came from Meeker, CO.

Plus there's like 20 trees in the White House itself. Do we have to figure out where each of those trees came from?

Do you have a problem with this? I thought it was a fun factoid!
