A local disc jockey said the Obama's are having a non-religous Christmas in the White House this year.
The Nativity scene that has always been put up in the East Room will not be displayed this year, so that Christmas may be more inclusive.
He quoted the Obama's as saying they did not normally celebrate Christmas, children included.

JM Of course not. They celebrate Ramadan.

Never mind.
Found this story that ran in the Baltimore Sun.
December 7, 2009
Report: Obamas balked at WH Nativity scene
The widely circulated e-mail claiming that the Obama White House was putting up a "holiday tree," bereft of religiously themed ornaments, in place of the traditional Christmas tree has been roundly debunked (see factcheck.org and snopes.com, the latter of which includes video of First Lady Michelle Obama taking delivery of a clearly labeled "White House Christmas Tree 2009").
But a New York Times profile of Desir�e Rogers, the currently embattled White House social secretary, suggests there was at least some discussion about backing away from Christmas tradition this year -- not as it involved the tree, but a Nativity scene.
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 �non-religious Christmas� � hardly a surprising idea for an administration making a special effort to reach out to other faiths.
The lunch conversation inevitably turned to whether the White House would display its cr�che, customarily placed in a prominent spot in the East Room. Ms. Rogers, this participant said, replied that the Obamas did not intend to put the manger scene on display � a remark that drew an audible gasp from the tight-knit social secretary sisterhood. (A White House official confirmed that there had been internal discussions about making Christmas more inclusive and whether to display the cr�che.)
Yet in the end, tradition won out; the executive mansion is now decorated for the Christmas holiday, and the cr�che is in its usual East Room spot.

New York Times article. " ... Yet in the end, tradition won out;..." Horse Manure!!! "Tradition" did not win out: politics won out! Even the Marxist Socialist inspired White House denizens knew it would create a firestorm of anger at The Great Lord Obamacus Rex The Magnificent, The One Mighty And Strong, The Most Righteous Savior Of Mankind, even from a lot of Democrats.

I'm with you Leanwolf,
To know they had a discussion about puting it up tells me they didn't want too.

Obama, a disciple of Muhammad, will continue to deceive the American people. Why Hell, he already stated that The USA was no longer a Christian nation.
Those of you who wonder how this fraud will celebrate the birth of Christ, you need to wake up to the simple fact that a non-American Muslim has placed himself in the office of President of the United States of America!
The leader of the free world is a friggin Muslim. Wake up and smell the stench!

Neither do I usually but I'm a Pagan. However, if I was president there would not be a discuss in the White House. I would follow tradition.

I gotta agree on tradition,our history is not ancient and our traditions are not as old as a large part of the world.Thats why they are important.We need to keep our American traditions.The idea of tossing them out just pisses me off.
Ideas are far more powerful than guns, We dont let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas. "Joseph Stalin"
