These are not the Obama's personal trees. The Christmas display at the White House has been a major tourist attraction for decades and hundred of people take the tour every day.
So much for our green president.
Also why not donate some to charity?
You wouldn't give him credit for being green if they did that, you would start a thread about how the President was destroying the traditions of Christmas in the White House because he was a godless Muslim or something equally inane.
Between now and Christmas, this is what we have to look forward to: criticism over the First Family's trip to Hawaii, their Christmas card (no criticism yet - but just because we haven't seen it), their trees, and I'm pretty sure there will even be something negative about Bo, the First Dog, too (I seem to remember something last year about Bo's Christmas travel plans).
It's going to be a long three weeks here at City Data.

Exactly.
There would also probably be attacks on the President for trying to destroy the Christmas tree industry.
An incredibly silly tradition. "Boy, is that tree not pretty?" "Let us cut it down and drag it into our house to watch it die!" "Fire hazard?" "Nonsense, it is TRADITION!"
A few years later, "Boy, this hill looked a lot nicer when there were trees growing on it."
Some traditions are just too stupid to be upheld, and this is one of them.

*Sigh*
Too late, Clinton already did that.
