Why is Bush taking Christ out of Christmas?
Notice that there is no religious reference on his Christmas card. He must be one of those Christ haters that Fox News has been warning us about.

1. Yes. It's a joke.
The actual card is quite religious:

Bushes' holiday card quotes Book of Psalms

BY JEFFREY WEISS
Dallas Morning News

About 2 million friends and supporters of President Bush found something in their mailboxes this month that no other president has offered: a holiday card with a Bible verse.

This card has a line from Psalms 95:2: "Let us come before him with Thanksgiving and extol him with music and song."

Presidents have been sending season's greetings since Calvin Coolidge wrote "Merry Christmas" on White House stationery in 1927. And many presidents issued proclamations about faith-related events ranging from the National Day of Prayer to Ramadan.

But this administration is the first to include Scripture in the annual card, said Mary Evans Seeley, author of "Season's Greetings From the White House: The Collection of Presidential Christmas Cards, Messages and Gifts." Seeley and her husband have a complete collection of the presidential holiday cards.

3. Just think of the mileage
we could have gotten out of e-mailing that card all around the world.

Only really smart people read Snopes, ya know, that disqualifies a heckuvalota W.rong fans.

Damn.

5. Shouldn't that be
"Let you come before Me with Thanksgiving and extol Me with music and song."? Sounds more like *'s style.

2. This is pretty standard for a White House Xmas card
Generalized holiday greetings w/a pic of WH. (They usually do indoor pix, though).

I couldn't care less what Christmas card these 2 hypocrites send out, but I do care that Hallmark is the manufacturer. They have lost my business from here on. I REFUSE to excuse anyone who supports * anymore and there are no excuses.

Do you realize the power that 50% of the population has if they refuse to support any company that supports Bush and this administration?
