    CNS News:

    The 63-foot Sierra White Fir lighted at the U.S. Capitol Grounds on Dec. 6 as the official 2011 Capitol Christmas Tree includes a prominently displayed ornament paying homage to President Barack Obama, but includes no ornament readily visible to a person standing near the tree’s base that uses the word “Christmas,” or includes an image of the Nativity, or bears the name or image of Jesus Christ.

    On the north side of the tree–at a height of about 4 feet and easily visible to people standing near it—there is an ornament that says: “I ♥ President Obama.”

        Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival in honor of the deity Saturn originally held December 17 and later expanded with unofficial festivities through December 23. Had to look it up.
        HAPPY SATURNALIA CaptSnark

      I have more faith in the man who created the tree, than the man who's name is on it.

        @George

        In case you missed it, I have been a Ron Paul supporter for years and have been posting in his support over the last year on a very regular basis.

        I see Ron Paul our last, best, peaceful hope, to avoid three terrible future for my Children and Grandchildren: WWIII, Civil War or a Police State complete with FEMA DEATH CAMPS

        Elect Ron Paul 2012 and win a free country (some assembly and hard work required)
      • George 5 mths ago
        Hey Steven, thanx 4 reply. As u see I'm not a supporter (2 say the least) of Obuma. I'm also of the opinion that Ron Paul would'nt be a good choice either, altho he's probably a hell of a lot better than Obuma. Your opinion & feelings have the very best interests of important people close 2 u, can only give u respect 4 that. Opinions r just that, opinions, and I kno, speaking 4 myself anyway, sometimes opinions get voiced a little strong. At least we both have the same interests of what we think is best in common. Merry X-mas 2 U & yours.

        Paul would be fine; but so would Newt, Mitt, Michele, Sarah; dadgummit--anyone likely would be an improvement over Obama.
    • Eva  •  Sunnyvale, United States  •  5 mths ago
      This time around, do you think maybe we can elect a president who at least LIKES the country?
    • Eva  •  Sunnyvale, United States  •  5 mths ago
      C,mon, just call him what he is ~ a smug, narcissistic, divisive, un-American, self-serving, lying SOB POS.
    • Disappointed  •  5 mths ago
      Knowing what we know about this administration, does this really surprise anyone?
    • Jeffrey  •  5 mths ago
      This is horrible, and just another example of how far down the tubes this nation has gone! All this sensitivity to atheists and muslims these days, that now we have to downplay the Christian heritage of this nation! Absolutely horrible!
    • Charlie Tuna  •  Tacoma, United States  •  5 mths ago
      I eat stories up like this! Come on 2012!
    • Eva  •  Sunnyvale, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Any fool who still supports Obama deserves every last bit of his misery.
    • ItsAllSoGoofy  •  5 mths ago
      For the last time, "CHRISTMAS" TREES ARE **NOT** "CHRISTIAN." They are PAGAN. There's nothing at all that's Biblical about so-called "Christmas" trees. They were hijacked by Christians from Pagan festivals that PRE-DATE Christianity.
    • Eva  •  Sunnyvale, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Take responsibility already for your countless failures, you vile, un-American, self-serving jackal.

      The man who says in his heart that there is no God is a fool.
      The man who is embarrassed to offer witness to his faith makes a fool appear intelligent
    • Glytavonstelorstoidon  •  5 mths ago
      It looks like Dictator Kim Jong II's ego has timely transferred over to Obama just in time for Christmas. Gee--- I wonder why the name "CHRIST" is in the name "CHRISTmas"? What could it possibly, possibly be?
