As Americans face a fiscal cliff, the Obamas make do with 54 Christmas trees

[sushilover]

Amazing how a reelection can reshape an incumbent's thinking about many things. Now safely ensconced in the White House for 49 more months, the Obamas have decorated the place with 54 Christmas trees this year.

Even allowing for the usual Washington excesses with taxpayer money, that's a whole grove of Christmas trees.

"We have 54 trees in the White House," an excited Michelle Obama proudly told visitors the other day. "54! That’s a lot of trees."

Why does bobo detest trees and clean air?

Why do you detest intelligence?

[EmDot]

Sounds like good economic stimulus to me.

Could the Obamas possibly try any harder to make themselves look like cheap, common grifters?

Maybe you could give them some tips, hmm?

What does this have to do with clean air? Are you that stupid?

how many families could have been fed with the $$$ not only for the trees, the $$$ spent on the decorations, and the $$$ given to the interior decorators who designed and adorned the trees?

and you people actually think the obamas care about anyone but themselves.....

It's all part of Obama's secret war on Christmas

I think it's great!
And all those trees can be ground up and used for mulch later.
And it makes the old house just smell so nice.
And it might just jump start the economy!

Can't help but like you, Rickman.

How many tree~dwelling animals had to lose their habitat so that the Obamas could decorate the White House, not to mention the contribution to global warming caused by the unnecessary cutting down of trees?

[AttackPlanR]

Fifty four Christmas trees!?

With that many trees where in the hell does he find the space to put his prayer mat?

[naive]

Hopefully everyone knows those trees are donated...Been that way for many years...

Same place it goes every Christmas, in his closet with the Kenyan birth certificate and copy of the Communist Manifesto.

Meanwhile ~ Sasquatch sightings are increasing as the hapless creatures are forced to look for suitable habitat to sustain their dwindling numbers while the current occupants of the White House frivolously decorate the place with real trees.

No one thinks the Obamas are anything but grifters and evil creeps. Even the zombified masses know in their hearts how the American people have been scammed. Most are just looking for there piece of the pie, but most will wait in vain for their handout.

If the money was paid to tree farms, interior decorators, then that money was used to feed their families, no?

Don't be bitter, it's not healthy.
