Mao-y Christmas from The White House

Home - by Lori Ziganto - December 22, 2009 - 21:45 UTC - 50 Comments

As noted at Nice Deb, the White House is spreading the Lefty (and super tacky) cheer this holiday season (I’m sure that’s what they call it; they can’t say Christmas season- Egads!).

Who on Earth designed such a thing? Not only is it super duper tacky, it is all disheveled looking with bare spots and hanging bits galore. Parts of it are awfully droopy as well – perhaps meant to reflect Obama’s drooping poll numbers? Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com has the scoop; and if you thought the tree itself was bad enough, wait until you see the actual ornaments!

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.

Stay classy, Left! A transvestite ornament, Lincoln as Obama (dude, again? That’s really getting played out. Plus, dummies, Lincoln was a Republican), Obama’s head superimposed on Mount Rushmore (hubris, much?) and Mao. MAO. On the Christmas Tree in the White House – the home of the man who is supposed to be the Leader of the Free World.

Allahpundit at Hot Air points out that perhaps the Administration really did not know – they couldn’t possibly be so dense as to proceed if they had – could they? I’m not so sure. I think they are that dense and, more importantly, that arrogant and “in your face-y.” Plus, even if they did not know, that’s really almost as bad. Just how darn clueless ARE they?

Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up. I would be pointing and snickering madly at both their misplaced audacity (of no hope) and their utter incompetence in every single area – even a Christmas tree, for goodness sake. I would be pointing and snickering, if only it wasn’t so truly revealing and frightening.

    If you had the stomach to watch the special that Oprah did at the White House, the First Lady and she actually spent some time discussing this tree.
    Actually, each of the ornaments were sent out to different states, schools, and I guess organizations so they could decorate them themselves and send back to the WH for display on the tree. I guess they had the motto of “Anything goes,” as it seems there was (once again) no vetting process.

    Mary M Thank you for introducing me to the BIG
    story BEHIND the White House Christmas Tree.
    Oprah and Michelle. Those were the two biggest
    behinds I have ever seen walking up a stairs.
    Reminded me of Walmart shoppers.
    Red and green, not yellow, are Christmas colors.
    The 22 advisors who cannot dress the FLOTUS
    apparently cannot dress a Christmas tree either.
    They hired some flake from Barney’s to design it.
    Absolutely effing outragious. I’ll let it go at
    that. At least I didn’t spill my drink at the sight of those two arses.

    That is the butt-ugliest, phony-baloney effin tree I have ever seen. That ain’t no Christmas tree, least any Christmas tree I’ve ever known.
    Slapped together all helterskelter. And blue and gold? What the hell is up with that? That was the school colors of my Junior High fer pity sakes. And the ornaments, good gawd-a-mighty. Was there a decorating contest for 1st graders with sling-shots? Gawd! What pretencious drivel. What mind-numbed Obamabot actually took the time to create that remarkable shite? I shudder to think.

    Then again, I suppose this all represents the Obama’s quite accurately. Bunch of cowardly thugs.

    Re: “Tie A Yellow Ribbon ‘Round The Old Oak Tree;” last night I was watching Tony Orlando on last year’s Larry The Cable Guy Christmas DVD. It turns out he’s a RIGHT guy (as Larry is), so the more royalties he gets for “Tie A Yellow Ribbon,” the better. A guilty pleasure, indeed, BFH. Thanks, toreydawn.

    That tree, resembling something out of a mall whose neighborhood has changed around it (e.g. Palm Beach Mall), is not only perfectly apropos to the current occupants, it’s a pleasant surprise and a confirmation that most black people believe in Christmas (more or less) and not Kwanzaa. As they say, there’s no accounting for taste or, in the case of MEshell Obama, the lack of it. But I was waitine to see the Washington Monument to be transformed into the world’s largest Kwanzaa rack (the red, green and black menorah).

    Two of my comments bear repeating, seeing this alleged Christmas Tree aka ‘Unity Tree’…

    When these Skidmarks leave the White House, we’re going to have to bring in ServePro® to clean the place “like it never even happened.”

    It will take more than an Election to rid the White House and Congress of these Stinkbugs…it will take ORKIN® – “keeping pests in their place for over 100 years.”

    BFH For years I thought “The Green,Green Grass
    of Home” Tom Jones, was about a guy returning home.
    Turned out he was going to be hung. Same with
    the Yellow Ribbon. I thought is was about a returning GI. What do I know? I still enjoy them
    Merry Christmas to all of you at IOTW.

    I wanna know what f*@&king idiot thought it would be a great idea to put Odumbass’s face on Mt. Rushmore as one of the ornaments.
    If ‘Tie a Yellow Ribbon’ is about a guy comming home from prison. What do I have to tie, and where can I tie it..that would give us a song to sing as we watch Obama and crew being carted away to prison. Just say the word and I have a team ready to deploy.

    Yellow seems like an appropriate color for Obama. Red is more accurate, but since that is a traditional Christmas color, I’m sure it was never considered. Obama… yellow… that’s about right.

    The first child to find the Tree Tranny gets an extra fisting for Fistivus!

    (Cultural Note: In German-American homes on Christmas day, a blown …cough..cough…glass ornament of a green pickle is hidden in the tree and the first child in the family to find it gets an extra piece of chocolate or a small gift. There has been debate as to whether or not the pickle tradition really did start in Germany or America, but we know Hedda Lettuce would find the pickle useful.
    Inserted in some oriface.
    Very carefully, mind you, so broken shards of glass wouldn’t rip his/her ….oh, you get the picture.

    I’m gonna have to cut some slack on this one.

    First, I doubt the Obamas had anything to do with the tree decorations, it was probably “taken care of” by some aids.

    Second, it’s unlikely that the Obamas have ever seen a Christmas tree in the house they were living in before.

    Third, the tree actually matches perfectly with the paintings and other decorations they have hanged on the walls and such.

    Picture in your mind, if you can stand it, what color you think the walls are painted in the presidential bedroom? I’m guessing Purple with lime green trim.
