White House Christmas Tree - Mao, transvestites, and Obama on Mt. Rushmore
In contrast to President Reagan's respectful tone, here we have the decorations on the current White House occupants' Christmas tree - from Breitbart's Big Government:Why let a holiday season come between the White House and making some political statements? The White House pegged controversial designer Simon Doonan to oversee the Christmas decorations for the White House. Mr. Doonan, who is creative director of Barney's New York has often caused a stir with his design choices. Like his naughty yuletide window display of Margaret Thatcher as a dowdy dominatrix and Dan Quayle as a ventriloquist's dummy. For this year's White House, he didn't disappoint.
These photos of ornaments on the White House Christmas tree in the Blue Room were taken just days ago. Of course, Mao has his place in the White House.
And, of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without an ornament of legendary transvestite Hedda Lettuce.
He/She even signed it:
And, so soon after collecting the Nobel Peace Prize, why wouldn't the White House have an ornament super-imposing President Obama onto Mt. Rushmore:
All around, a very Barry Christmas!

Wow. They paid money for those ornaments?
They could have gotten the same effect had they outsourced the ornaments to inner city elementary schools.
No, the effect of school children making the collage ornaments would have been charming, sentimental, and inclusive. I guess that's not the same effect at all!

Many of these were in fact done by schoolchildren. The White House sent out 800 Christmas ornaments to community groups, schools and charities for decoration, and these are what they got back.
[I doubt if school children dreamed up featuring a transvestite, Murderer Mao, or even Obama on Mt. Rushmore. So the key word would appear to be "many" - which might even translate into "some."
And in the epitome of style over substance, this was paraded through the press - at least in the DC metro area - as Queen Michelle's effort at saving money by using decorations already on hand. One can only imagine the packaging, postage and manpower wasted at "recycling" these balls - which when all was said and done was far more expensive than buying new ornaments - not to mention the ultimate frugality of using them as they were. Just another razzle-dazzle PR trick.]
