U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Pays Homage to Obama

"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."

What's the Christmas tree for then?

It isn't obvious that it is a Christmas tree?

[should we label it?]

Atheist Muslim Communist Fascist Elitist tree?

Seriously though, most trees don't have a baby Jesus dangling from it. Don't see too many ornaments like that, but I'm from Chicago, were we hate Christians and love Muslims.

Apparently, yes... it's supposed to have a BIG sign reading "This is for Christmas, in case you didn't figure that out, and Christmas celebrates Jesus Christ." You don't have that label on your Christmas tree? Heathen!! LMAO

Seriously people?? This is getting beyond ridiculous.

Why didn't Obama put a baby Jesus on the top of the Christmas tree?

Why does he hate baby Jesus. What did baby Jesus ever do to Obama?

All Muslims hate baby Jesus, and Obama is a closeted Muslim... didn't you know that?

FWIW, I've noticed recently that Chanukah GELT is almost impossible to find - even in the stores that used to sell it, like Trader Joe's. They now call them "chocolate international coins," so you Christians don't have the monopoly on falling victim to Political Correctness. I just don't feel the need to start a thread about it, LOL. (not to mention, I've never seen a Christmas tree labeled as such)

Because y'all keep saying "baby Jesus", I keep thinking about the movie Talledega Nights..."Dear 8 pounds 6 ounces baby Jesus..."

What's a "narcissit?" Sounds like something you'd catch in the ocean, LOL.

P.S. I'd love to see the trees of everyone here, so I could pick apart your ornaments. I bet few of you have the word CHRIST plastered all over it, and many have self-serving ornaments (like pictures of your kids, #1 Mom/Dad, gifts, etc). I don't see why it matters, though... what a stupid non-issue this thread is.

It use to be called Christ Mass.


Is it making sense now what Christmas is all about.

It is to celebrate Christ's life.
