I cant believe Gov. would allow a Tree. No 10 commandments. No prayer in schools. Why a tree? Maybe change the date too, after all we use Christ as a benchmark in time. 2008.

I'm so proud that part of my tax money was spent to provide this tree to the countries capital building. Such a beautiful tree for such a Joyous and Wonderful time of the Year.

getorp, Maybe they're using a solar source of energy by now, ya think!

I doubt it - they wouldn't want to start a new trend using cheaper, alternative sources of energy!

No big profit in that field!

Do they have enough money to pay the electric bill for the lights. With 8.5 Trillion dollars down the drain that they gave away this seems like an awful extravagance.

My gawd, you're cranking out such pleasant videos.

How about the next video announces

Obama presidency canceled, emergency session

of Senate and Congress called.

The same Delta forces who are still loyal to the United States go in and detain every single politician that's led to the mess this country is in!

Sorry to burst the christmas tree lights but this ain't no season to be jolly!
