 Capitol Tree Pays Homage to Obama – not Jesus or
Santa<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AWGTheAngryWhiteGuysBlog/~3/w8u2QP9gf_k/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email>

U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Pays Homage to Obama—But Not
Jesus<http://cnsnews.com/news/article/us-capitol-christmas-tree-pays-homage-obama-not-jesus>

The 63-foot Sierra White Fir lighted at the U.S. Capitol Grounds on Dec. 6
as the official 2011 Capitol Christmas Tree includes a prominently
displayed ornament 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.

On the north side of the tree–at a height of about 4 feet and easily
visible to people standing near it—there is an ornament that says: “I ♥
President Obama.”

Well for one section of the population he is Santa Claus.
