  • Rick Perry states that Obama is waging a war on religion, but I'm pretty sure this is religious

  • oh and btw the world laughs with republicans. I can't believe how they don't seem to know how retarded they are :D cheerio! happy xmas 2011

  • Greetings from Belgium!

    Obama is the best president the US ever had.

  • Keep up your work.

  • President Obama deserve the best, God Bless America, our troops and our President.

  • God, that's an ugly tree!

  • what a great moment, thought the kids looked a bit tired. such is life

  • I resent Obama's foreign policy, I think he's a compromising pansy on issues of social and personal liberty and I think economically he's the same boring old shit born of private wealth, but I'll be damned if his presidential blackcent isn't badass.

  • My god you people. Obama is trying the best he can to clean up bush's mess. Being the president is the hardest job in the world.You gotta understand that if you were the president people would be mad at YOU. You can't please everyone. It's not Obamas fault that bush messed EVERYTHING up

  • fuckk u obam!

  • @aa724326426 I don't like obam either man. Terrible guy, that obam.

  • @aa724326426

    eff YOU, u little tard.

  • It's really getting a bit annoying and tiresome to see some people here still dissing Obama when this is about Christmas, lighting up the tree. I am not a fan of Obama, and I don't get obsessed with ranting at him.Obsession is unhealthy.Just don't see the point of doing so, knowing it's not going to change anything for myself. I rather focus all my energy on something positive to make my own life better, with or without the government policy changes than waste my time/energy dissing someone.

  • Wow if Bush had forced a 3rd term like the socialist scumbag Roosevelt & continued the patriot act, the war in Iraq, TARP like programs, & appointed hundreds of unelectable unconstitutional unaccountable officials within the executive branch of government all you worthless brain dead libs would be protesting & ranting & watching Mike "stealth capitalist pig" Moore movies. You like Obama's face & smile & clap & cheer while he continues & expands the Bush doctrine. Idiots

  • @DourCynic1 1) Roosevelt was elected to 4 terms and died shortly after being elected to a 4th term. 2)The rule you are talking about for just 2 terms was passed BECAUSE of Roosevelt, he didn't force a 3rd or 4th term, people voted him into office all 4 times. 3) If he was such a socialist scumbag, why would they have elected him 4 times, doesn't that make them socialist scumbags?

  • Roosevelt had the media by the balls like every one else who could facilitate his rise to power. You only need basic understanding of our founding & George Washington to understand why even allowing himself to be elected that many times was disgraceful. Washington set the precident of 2 terms even though he could have been elected as president for the rest of his life. He didn't even make a special rule for himself. His message was that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

  • @DourCynic1 This wasn't the 18th century, we weren't fighting for independence. Of course Washington didn't stay for the rest of his life, he didn't want to be like a king, which brings me to my next point: A king is not elected by the people like Roosevelt was, he didn't have absolute power, which is what Washington wanted. If the majority of the people didn't want him there we wouldn't have been there. I shouldn't have to tell you about Checks and Balances...

  • We weren't fighting for independence?America was the only thing standing between Communist Russia, Nazi Germany,& Imperialist Japan from ruling the entire world!Your ignorance & thought process is seriously disturbing.The fact that people w your intellect breed & vote is frightening.Washington could have been re-elected his whole life that was my point. Roosevelt eliminated checks & balances, like the Supreme Court which ruled the "New Deal" Unconstitutional by changing the number of justices.

  • @DourCynic1 How is "standing between Communist Russia, Nazi Germany,& Imperialist Japan from ruling the entire world!" fighting for independence? How did Roosevelt eliminate Checks and Balances? He has the authority to do that, just like they have the authority to remove him from office.

  • @DourCynic1

    actually he didnt change the number of justices. He did threaten to pack the courts, but there was no public support. and yes washington could of been elected his whole life but he wasnt. There was no rule on term limits until the 22nd amendment. The people loved FDR, and if you dont think so than read a history book he got elected 4 times. and alot of americans wanted to stay out of the war in europe, but Hitler honored the Tripartite pact, and declared war on america.

  • Uhm....in the past, classier more traditional administrations had "Joy To The World" playing immediately on cue after the lighting. Guess the Obama's don't share the sentiments of the song???

  • @mrbrandon71 You, like the rest of your Republican red necks a.. .holes, are disgusting.

  • I hate it when people say "Happy Holidays". Why can't people say "Merry Christmas"? Why doesn't anyone say "Happy Holidays" on Easter, Valentines Day, Halloween, or any other Holiday except Christmas?

  • @DanielJaegerFilms Because we, as a society, are too religiously intolerant, that we don't want to offend people. If you walk up to a Jew nowadays and wish him a Merry Christmas, he flips a shit at you, rather than just saying "Oh I'm Jewish, I don't celebrate Christmas". Why can't it be that way?

  • @ DanieLJaegerFilms

    It's because a lot of people celebrate different holidays during this time of year. Its easier to just say Happy Holidays instead of having to repeat them all by name every time.

  • Comment removed

  • Thats a bullet proof glass right there. a lot of protection on him

  • Comment removed

  • @stonerbudkap That was an ornament made by a kid. It was a printout of Warhol's painging of Mao. It was not chosen by Obama. And btw, it was Republican President Nixon who embraced Mao and to this very day there is a statue of Mao ib the Nixon Presidential library. Google it.

  • Wasn't aware of the Nixon library statue. But it still bugs me that either political party would give face time to an evil dictator. Thanks for the info and Merry Christmas.

  • Trust me these critics don't believe he's a communist.  These are just racists who hide behind the veil just as the Klan did so many decades ago. Hatred can never really hide itself. The bigots will fall away as they are doomed. They just leave such an ugly distasteful mess behind.

  • 7 million unemployed from the stimulus are having a merry christmas,right barry soetero.

  • An obama Christmas...with balls adorned with pictures of chairman mao and transvestites and of course stinky himself...we know he is a commie, perhaps now we are getting a glimpse into his sexual likes...let me be the first to call him the "red bitch"

  • @DonDahab

    I heard he has a picture of fidel in his bedroom.

  • Frohe Wheinnachten,...

    Denken wir an die Menschen, die wir lieben...

    egal wie weit weg, Sie sein mögen,...

  • hay give President Obama credit he is tryng his best I thank its time thank Obama is a christian and before throw stones try to give credit what he has done yes he said Merry Christmass he's a man like any man doing his job. The white house was a miss before he got in office. And I think its also people got to help with the change. he can't do it by himself.

  • wow it was a giant net of lights

  • Malia and sasha look cute

  • WOW, he actually said Merry Christmas.

  • Michelle Obama is seriously fugly.

  • His daughters looked uncharacteristically sad & bored here.

  • haha wtf is poparatsi? Do you mean paparazzi? If you're going to try and insult someone, learn to spell the insult.

  • my spell check didn't pick up on it so I assumed it was good LOL.

  • there isnt a bill yet

  • Actually there is, home slice. Based on your comments I have seen from you, you're lucky to be half retarded if anything. I can't blame you since you are into the liberal method of thought or lack-thereof, which in itself, is the lack of common sense, basis, and a funny self loathing complex. All you can do is attack anything that proves you wrong. Facts are what your type of thinking doesn't embrace because if you did then you wouldn't attack the person.

  • actually home slice, there was a bill that left the house. There has yet to be a bill in the Senate, and we're no where close to the bill combining the two. As for the personal attacks...thats just like...your opinion...man.

  • Obamas Christmas it's Jesus birthday ,thank you Jesus for this 2000 year old message, it worked ! see ya in heaven.

  • You liberals always attack us conservatives when we are right.

  • you're always 'right' but never correct

  • Great video. I've never seen the White House Christmas traditons before so it's lovely to be able to watch them.

  • i was there lol

  • lol ure funny.

  • LOL, and you're a dumbass. Merry Christmas.

  • lol sasha's yawning lol

  • ...how come we do not have Al Gore riding a bike to power those Lights?.......

  • At least the damn tree was made in America.

    this is the only good that has come from Obama.

  • Uh oh, bet that tree isn't run on clean energy sources. The leftist won't like that either!

  • i didnt know muslims celebrate christmas

  • who's muslim?

  • Well, he better hope he's Muslim because I can tell you not many non-Muslims like his ass.

  • got that right.

  • accepts the trillians around the world

  • Well done Obama! The girls are just gorgeous!

  • ....& ONE MORE THING!....if these DIM dunces of the universe goobs decide to force the Health Care Industry onto us WHEN THEY DO NOT USE IT?.........we will do everything in our power to force them all out!!!!.......next election cycle!........and along with baama will all get THE BOOT~ !!!!

  • ...one MORE THING!.....this man is about = "putting a black face on the new world order and WE-UNZ is supposed to be happy about that?"............Obama is going up to THE HILL and taking a Big Bag of RED CHINESE Borrowed Money and going to try to BUY MORE VOTES!.......and that means masses of taxes and a destroyed private health care system!!!.....all for 60 egoic goobs to edict their socialist agenda onto WE THE PEOPLE?........and a few BUCK$ from the worlds biggest Grifter! Post AMERICA 101

  • In addition to a (about) 7 foot tree (and I can let it get bigger if I want), which I use year after year-alive-tree, I have a small table tree, which is alive and reuseable year after year. Somehow a chopped down tree is gross. To me it is. A living potted plant is much more attractive. And if trained / trimmed correctly it will be quite an attractive christmas tree. When done put outside and you can enjoy it as a short tree YEAR ROUND. These plants will live over a century. Try it!!

  • A small Bonsai Christmas tree is too cute for words for holidays. So with a big living tree (7 foot) and a small bonsai table tree-they can also be decorated. When you trim the top the sides of the tree get stronger. It's surprisingly easy. I suppose you COULD make a tree as big as the one at the white house-you just need a big enough pot. You can buy a live small tree at a dollar store for a few bucks. They grow amazingly fast. All kinds of varieties. I love small trees. Call it a passion.

  • One more word about REUSABLE live trees in pots-please hose it down before putting it in the house. That's what I do. It cleans the tree. It only takes a few minutes to hose it down (obviously use a stream of water). Preferably put the tree near a lighted window. However, they do very well indoors too even without light since its short term. OR flourescent light (ordinary floro lights) is sufficient for a light source during the day if you want to keep the tree up over a month.

  • I don't understand why people use chopped down trees. All you have to do is plant one in a pot and let it grow. It will not get any bigger than the pot you give it. You do have to trim the tree once a year-big deal only takes a few minutes. Once it reaches the size you want you trim the crown and it will get more bushy, and you can trim those to make it look more like a christmas tree. And it's REUSABLE FOREVER. How long do trees live? Over a century? When done simply put back outside.

  • It is impolite to wear hats in a building.

  • obama the best

  • A wonderfull Xmass for all, even for the haters here...

    :D

  • Not once did I hear him say anything about the "Reason for the Season" isn't that what CHRISTmas is about?

  • sherrid63 - you are right!.....but new age hybrid muslims "might" not mention = "reasons for the Season" cause they would say how happy they were that one more "infidel" was killed in that story and it made them all smile!

  • .....it worked!!! That was great!

    Have a Great & Wonderful Christmas, America!

    "Its the most wonderful time of the year"

    And Best Wishes!

    From our home to yours,

    The Royal City, British Columbia, Canada

  • Texpressions...it worked! = we are nearing a total take over by this fake birth certificate union luvin commie trying to Cram Obama Crap Care down our throats ......like the kinda care you and your peeps and my auntie accepted !! and it helped my auntie to become a disabled brain bleed victim who is now totally disabled all because she was given a BED ONLY and treatment ONLY began when she was found in A COMA! ....thats how Crap Commrade Care always works = like TOTAL CRAP so BEST WISHES go away

  • Instead of waisting energy... why not just stick this tree where the sun don't shine and get something done with the economy besides spending my great great great great great Grand Childrens life earnings?

  • ..would the answer be as simple as LESS TAXES & KILLING MORE TERRORISTS?.....yep!

  • Wow, 10 months in and Obama finally accomplished something.

  • ...and it only cost the Tax Payers $2,000,000 BUCK$ for Mrs. Mitchie Obama to have = makeup; hair; and "dressers" for her ~flair~ !!! (that does not include the CO$T$) = of her italian/french dresses and pants sets! (you say can that be for one year?) = WEE!

  • @memomma2 Well said, except that you did not mention that the taxpayers' $2 million didn't improve Mitchie Obuma's looks at all. And why buy French and Italian, when she dont like those races? Why not dress in Baby Phat? LOL

  • cottenceena !!! you made me bust out ~laughin~ .........thanks!.........she and Obama are reverse rascists of the worst kind! = all their crackpot peeps know the real truth and yet the sea of silence and hidden agendas surrounds those two.........and something is so very very wrong here! .......(and add on it will cost us about 8+ million to WAX her crakers and legs and putty her face into a perpetual smile and hang some big checkered suits with WEEparee labels? = is worth a citizens arrest!)

  • So did oSama....oops im sorry, i mean did oBama put a star and crescent moon on top of the tree

  • vadarofdarth !! = thats on their private family tree next to the prayer rug -

  • Ha : ) .......no shit.

    Merry Christmas from Barry Soeroto.

  • vadarofdarth! ......i wonder do they all get "lucky machetes" with their names inscribed ?.............I just hope Santa makes it out of their chimlee with his LIFE!........or we are gonna have some more ObamaDrama when that sleigh is sitting on their rooftop and Satan is no where to be found!

  • so much hate over such a warm and kind video..

  • Holy Shit Thats A Mean Bullet Proof Shit!!

  • Not only that, Christians, but the Christmas season officially runs all the way up to Epiphany, 6 January. Don't forget that. If you are not going to be OF the world, then observe the Church's calendar and not the secular one.

  • And a note to Christians: when someone says "Happy Holidays" you don't need to be offended. Let's not forget that in the Christian way, December encompasses TWO Christian holy seasons: Advent (which began last Sunday) AND Christmas. Officially, Christmas doesn't begin until sundown on 24 December. Right now, today (5 December) we are supposed to be marking Advent.

  • And to those Germanic heathens I say: Glad Yuletide. I know your holy tide is coming up on the winter solstice, and I know it is a time of great joy and warmth and gathering with friends and family. Have a wonderful 12 Days of Yule. Peace and light and life attend you and your families.

  • Politics aside and on the topic of Christmas traditions...a few steps away from the National Tree, right on the Ellipse, is a deep pit wherein many logs are deposited by forklift and burned for the entire month of December. This is the National Yule Log. It is a beautiful thing, to go to see this on a cold DC night and feel the warmth and light of the fire. Go see it if you can.

  • yeah amazing president!!!!! yep i love how he sticks up for the terrorists!!!!!! and doesnt honor the US soldiers or the flag!!!!!!!

    FUCK U!!!!! OBAMA!!!! AND KEEP LOVING DIRTY PIGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sad little world you live in.. sad indeed..

  • Did you not hear how he told the US soldiers that they were in our thoughts and prayers. How is that not honoring them??? He made a point of saying how grateful the nation was to them for risking their lives...

  • crackers can't have big dicks ...what's your point dummy?

  • Waste of taxpayers money, just like Obama's salary.

  • Actually the tree is always donated so the provider can ADVERTISE their tree was put in the white house. Though the celebration of Christmas is a pagan tradition since the ancient Roman times (the celebration of Cronus), I will sometimes put a tree up. BUT MY TREE is ALIVE. It's in a pot. About 7 or 8 feet high. It's been that size for about 10 years now. When you are done with it simply move it back outside and reuse the LIVE tree year after year after year. No mess-no fuss. Easy as pie!

  • establishment clause

  • Merry Christmas USA!!

    Best wishes from Holland.

  • I'm an atheist and I hate how some of my fellow atheists so around saying "separation of church and state" when it comes to a national Christmas tree.

    Oh, shut the fuck up. It's just a fucking Christmas tree. And no, it should NOT be called a holiday tree.

  • Aren't you going to go on to tell us about his Kenyan birth certificate? Do go on, enlighten us.

  • What you fail to notice is Obama's popularity has been plummeting. It's now down below 50% and he's been in office less than a year. The people in this country ,that have something to lose, don't like to see Obama ramp up the war in Afghanistan to the tune of ONE MILLION DOLLARS PER TROOP PER YEAR TO BE ON THE FRONT LINE. Do the math...30,000 times one million=30 billion dolllars ($30,000,000,000). That's the figure. Do you think we should be spending that money nation building?

  • Not really, but until there's a credible opposition I'll still be cheering for President Obama because he's an intelligent, good and honorable man even if he makes some decisions I disagree with. I definitely can't say as much for his opposition, including people like you who claim that he's intentionally destroying the country.

    Just because you don't like President Obama doesn't mean that he's a traitor. He was elected President by the will of the people. Deal with it!!!

  • czubspenx: WOW I feel bad for you! Don't you understand it will get worse before it gets better and all Obama has done so far is set the foundations for the future. If you don't understand that some wars need to be fought I also feel bad for you. What I understand is that you will be one of the minorities sitting on the fence watching a miracle happen in disgust!

  • Apparently you have never read what Eisenhower wrote about the Military Industrial Complex i.e., how huge coroporations advance war in order to make billions. KInd of like the Iraq war that has lead this country into bankruptcy. You know, illegally invading a country and dropping cruise missles on civilans killing hudreds of thousands of people. The only miracle I see is when the people of this country wake up and discover no one represents them. That's when things will really change!

  • Spot on! People watching these bogus videos cant even think of where the money is even coming from to pay for the tree or all them cutesy lights and wow those lavish dinners and dont forget music nights with the obamas. all that sounds like putting the good old stimulous money to good use, pushing us more into debt with fancy trees and steaks for the whitehouse go'ers; yeah im sure they need to eat that steak more then people who have children to feed whom cant even afford the wendys dollar menu

  • does anyone know how much that tree weights.

    or just a rough estement .

  • Merry Xmas America.

    May god bless you and keep you.

    JBirdy

  • 2:17...looks like he tried to kiss the president! LOL!

  • I thought the National Tree was from Arizona,what happened to that beautiful tree that was cut down then that went through our state. Merry CHRISTMAS to you all. Peace

  • lol "im technically challenged, i might not get this right"

  • lol

  • ~ GOOD TIMES ~ HARD TIMES

    ~ Wise man ~ Fool ~

    ~ Secretly member bank reserves are raise ~ Universally banks literally have no money. They must put all their cash in reserve, else after three days, the FED takes them over.

    ~ HAPPY CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS ~

  • Merry Christhmas Mr. President !!!

  • what do i trust? NOTHING... NOTHING AT ALL PERIOD...

  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • We know that couple was a set up. mistakes like that dont happen at this level unless --- they want it to happen for the purposes of carrying on with an agenda. Just like 9/11, OK city...Breakdowns in security, intelligence, communication -- all ath the same time...I Dont think so!

  • 100 million unnecessary lights draining energy - (edict from Obamas FRAUD "science CZAR") ending with= ..........."that one tree KILLED 10 Polar Bears!" .....(lol)

  • You don't have to be afraid of the czars. That's just a nickname for any high-level official who over sees a particular policy. We've had them since FDR. Have a Happy Winter Festival!

  • I think this video is titled incorrectly. Obama calls it a "Holiday" tree. He is too PC for his own good. It is a Christmas tree. What religion began the tradition? That's right, christianity. How many other religions use a tree? Exactly. So he succeeds in offending a lot of people. That would be the exact opposite of what he was going for, I think.

  • Actually the Druids were the first to use it.

  • @Farmboy7899...Sounds like someone was listening a little too hard! You were just waiting for him to say something you didn't agree with so you could post some smart ass comment!

    THUMBS DOWN!

  • Farmboy said: "It is a Christmas tree. What religion began the tradition? That's right, Christianity."

    No Farmboy, that is incorrect. Decorated trees, wreaths, wassail, Yule logs, etc - all these come from Northern European Germanic indigenous practices; you might call those people "heathens". They are all from pre-Christian Germanic traditions.

    Farmboy said: "How many other religions use a tree? Exactly."

    The aforementioned heathens did and the Jews do too.

  • Come on, Farmboy, learn some of your religious history a little better than that. Or are you one of those Christians who think the world is only 6K years old, the King James Bible was written by the hand of Jesus himself and delivered whole to Christianity just as it is, and nothing existed before the Bible? Come on; I'm Methodist and I know better than all that.

  • Oh, and by the way, lest there is any confusion: Germanic heathens (for there are people continuing those traditions into our modern times) have a "Tree of Life" called Yggdrasil, with Nine Worlds that hang upon it. The Jews also have a Tree of Life upon which hang the Ten Sephiroth. I'm sure other cultures also have a Tree of Life. So don't think that the Tree is exclusively a Christmas thing. It's not. But it is beautiful that a tree IS included in Christmas celebrations.

  • Well thanks for the lesson, however, Obama is and always will be a douchebag. One reason is for trying to be to PC for his own good. You can't please everyone, so instead, he pissed off a lot of people.

  • I hate how it has to be " happy holidays ". Just say whatever you want...

  • @Voltegasproductions Well, note that he said "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays", not just "Happy Holidays".

  • yeah there would be no holiday if it wasn't for Christmas!

  • Great video - thank you for posting it. During this holiday season we should all give thanks for men like President Obama and Vice-President Biden. They are doing an outstanding job for our nation and they have earned our respect and gratitude.

  • hahaha That was funny when we went "OOOHHHH" when it lit up.

  • how much electricity that tree is using is contributing to climate change?

  • We only shed 11,000 jobs in NOV... which is bad for those that jon the unemployed but ow many jobs did we shed last Nov when bush was in office? Since Obama has been in office the job shedding have decreased every month! while during bush jobs loses increased every month. Give it some time people.. You cant change this mess over night. Now Obama get on those banks and force them to refi those mortgages, cut the interest on those credit cards, & make jobs if the private sector wont!

  • @nuumskee IM not sure what your reading as your source, but unemployment hit 10.2% the highest since 1983. google com/publicdata?ds=usunemployme­nt&met=unemployment_rate&tdim=­true&q=Unemployment+rate

    How can the Private Sector Create jobs when the GOV wont let them? When a Business pays out more than its taking in(ie TAXES) , its not going to hire anyone,its time to fold. Instead the GOV is taking over GM to help Obamas SEIU buddies and its STILL losing money $1.2 Billion 3rd qtr this year!

  • "It worked!" Hahaha, nice reaction.

  • please?

  • separation of church and state....

  • you can dream about it ...

  • the crowd sounded a bit lack luster. they should have shown abit more cheer.

  • it sure was fun obama was in a good mood he spoke to me about creating jobs and getting more money to schools he even said he wanted to legalize marijuana within the next few years.

  • I had a fantastic time there yesterday.

  • Whoa, now that's a huge tree, but it's very beautiful! :)

  • Its so hilarious and glamorous!Long live Obama!God bless

  • a Muslim participating in a Christian ceremony that was stolen from a Pagan religion....... Church and state come together with socialism and communism. It's just f*cking great!

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, true to that...but I think U can sayy that the ritual was adopted not stolen =]

  • It Worked!!!  lol

  • Oh no! You can't say the C word! (Christmas). You have to call it the "Winter Festivities Tree".
