As Americans face a fiscal cliff, the Obamas make do with 54 Christmas trees | |
| JHBorden User ID: 25935062  Canada12/03/2012 04:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Amazing how a reelection can reshape an incumbent's thinking about many things. Quoting: Philligan Now safely ensconced in the White House for 49 more months, the Obamas have decorated the place with 54 Christmas trees this year. Even allowing for the usual Washington excesses with taxpayer money, that's a whole grove of Christmas trees. "We have 54 trees in the White House," an excited Michelle Obama proudly told visitors the other day. "54! That’s a lot of trees."

Quoting: pink cat and none of you even questions that? you just jump on a bandwagon like a monkey jumping up and down? "54 tree 54 trees 54 trees! hoo haa squeak squawk" it's very sad. look at yourselves. this is how the media leads you around by the ring in your nose like a donkey. wake up. i pinned this thread because i want people to see how truly stupid talking about 54 xmas trees are. think for yourselves, people. What is your problem? Why are you not bothered that the obamas have decorated 54 Christmas trees, a ridiculous number, while people are suffering and talk of 'fiscal cliffs' are all over the news? Wondering why you have such an attitude about those of us bothered by this... BECAUSE IT IS NOT TRUE. Read what he posted. He made it up. READ!!! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27310787 United States12/03/2012 04:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh the poor dears. I'm glad they'll be in Hawaii for the season, so won't have to trip over all those wires for the lights. Quoting: Crazy Harriet Bless their little hearts. According to notices distributed to residents of an exclusive waterfront neighborhood in Hawaii, they can expect to enjoy restricted access and other inconveniences to their homes and normal lives from Dec. 17 through Jan. 6. That's about a 50% longer holiday vacation than last year. The inconveniences stem from security requirements for the vacationing Obamas and a large number of their accompanying friends. Obama's staff will have to put up with rooms in a nearby luxury hotel. The Coast Guard will be patrolling surrounding canals. Navy SEALs will be doing whatever SEALs do on security detail. The Secret Service and local police will man numerous area roadblocks and perhaps even some bushes. Read More At IBD: [link to news.investors.com] |

Jokes are often based on truths. No one even questioned that the obamas would do such an excessive thing as putting 54 Christmas trees in the WH. Doesn't even matter that it may not be true. The fact is that it could very well have been true. I only wish the $4,000,000, two-and-a-half week vacation would be false. But it's not. You ask why none of us questioned the story. We are talking about the obamas here. Why would we question it? HELLO!! Big brother is watching. That is why you don't question the Obama's. Haha. Too late for me I guess. After five-plus years of doing nothing but questioning them, no doubt my "vacation" will be in a FEMA facility.  ______________ As long as I am an American citizen and American blood runs in these veins I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write, and to publish whatever I please on any subject.” - Elijah Parish Lovejoy(1802-1837) All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent...Thomas Jefferson The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government...Thomas Jefferson When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty...Thomas Jefferson Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light...George Washington |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28673702 Yup, you nailed it, that's why. We're jealous of the Grinch who fucking stole our economy and is busy converting it to vacations, Christmas trees, payoffs to his contributors, and cash gifts to the Muslim Brotherhood.  Tell me what this tastes like... |

So Fox News should S.T.F.U.  I wonder if they were all bitching and whining when Bush Put up 49 in 2006. Somehow I think not.But it is a whole 5 more trees after all. [link to abcnews.go.com] WALTERS …magnificent. How many trees? MRS. BUSH I think there are 49 trees in the whole house, just decorated with snow and tinsel and bright lights. But isn't it beautiful? |
