More insights into who Obama is and what he believes. A big thank you to our Catholic brothers for bringing this travesty to our attention!<\/p>\n
Catholic League<\/a> | Dec. 7, 2009<\/p>\n In yesterday\u2019s New York Times<\/em>, there was an article about White House social secretary Desir\u00e9e Rogers. In it, reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote: <\/p>\n When former social secretaries gave a luncheon to welcome Ms. Rogers earlier this year, one participant said, she surprised them by suggesting the Obamas were planning a \u2018non-religious Christmas\u2026.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n This same participant said that <\/p>\n \u201cthe Obamas did not intend to put the manger scene on display\u201d (this was confirmed by the White House). Indeed, as Stolberg wrote, \u201cthere had been internal discussions about making Christmas more inclusive and whether to display the cr\u00e8che.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed this issue today:<\/p>\n Unlike almost all Americans\u2014including atheists\u2014the Obamas do not give their children Christmas gifts. We know this because Barack bragged about this last year to People magazine. So it should come as no big surprise that he and his wife would like to neuter Christmas in the White House. That\u2019s their natural step\u2014to ban the public display of Christian symbols. Have any doubts? Last April, Georgetown University was ordered to put a drape over the name of Jesus as a condition of the president speaking there.<\/p>\n If the Obamas want to deprive their children of celebrating Christmas, that is their business. It is the business of the public to hold them accountable for the way they celebrate Christmas in the White House. We know one thing for sure: no other administration ever entertained internal discussions on whether to display a nativity scene in the White House. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n . . . more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More insights into who Obama is and what he believes.
