The White House and Merry Christmas


WEEKLY ADDRESS: The President and First Lady Thank our Troops for their Service as we Celebrate the Holiday Season (You will notice that this came from the  "Office of the Press Secretary", "Briefing Room", and "Statement and Releases".)

This was not enough for right wing blogger Jim Hoft who released a blog, Obama Skips Christmas Statement But Issues Statement for Fake Holiday Kwanzaa.  This was then tweeted by Donald Trump.

However if you will notice, the Weekly Address is an official statement. He even tweeted it.

"Evidently, TPM can’t tell the difference between a video and a statement. And, of course, if you point out this latest Obama error you’re a dog-whispering racist."
Again the Weekly Address is a statement.  There is this summary that is not even contained in the video.
WASHINGTON— In this week’s address, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama came together to wish the American people a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and thanked our troops, military families, and veterans for their service and sacrifice. President Obama and Michelle Obama encouraged everyone to visit JoiningForces.gov to find ways to give back to our brave men and women in uniform and their families during the holiday season as we work together in the spirit of service.
What can you expect from a guy who is still claiming that "Obama Tripled Deficit"? I am not going to say that this is dog whistle racism.  I think this is just knee jerk reaction to perceived liberal attacks.  I leave you with the Kwanzaa statement and the President celebrating Christmas with Kermit at the Christmas Tree lighting.
