Obama’s Christmas Card Contains No Mention of Christ or Christmas But Does Include the Obama Dogs Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, December 23, 2013, 7:40 AM
Bo and Sonny made it on this year’s card -But no Christ.
Barack Obama’s 2013 Christmas holiday card contains two dogs but no mention of Christ or Christmas. Via The Bookworm Room:
There’s been a fair amount written about the Obama Christmas card. It’s a pop-up card, which has an expensive look that’s unseemly as millions lose their insurance and millions more have joined the ranks of the perpetually unemployed.
It’s colors are cool, not warm, which seems to refute the warmth that Christmas brings to people in the dark of winter.
It shows a vacant building, which seems symbolic when one considers that Obama invariable answer to all the scandals revealed in the past year is to disclaim knowledge or responsibility.
And lastly, despite going out at Christmas time and despite Obama’s claims to be a Christian, the card makes no mention of Christmas. Keep in mind with this last point that the card ostensibly comes not from “the government” but from a man and his family.

In writing about Obama, I’ve quoted Hughes Mearns’ Antigonish before, and it seems appropriate to quote it here again:
Yesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn’t there. He wasn’t there again today, I wish, I wish he’d go away…
When I came home last night at three, The man was waiting there for me But when I looked around the hall, I couldn’t see him there at all! Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more! Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door…
Last night I saw upon the stair, A little man who wasn’t there, He wasn’t there again today Oh, how I wish he’d go away…
At best we have an atheist whose world and values are secular. At worst he's a Muslim whose infrequent reference to Christianity emits only pain. His only use of Christian religious language is when it benefits him, certainly not in the context of something spiritual happening in his life.
