Christmas Wishes From President & Mrs. Obama

: Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas. As you and your families gather to celebrate the holidays, we wanted to take a moment to send greetings from our family—from me, from Michelle, from Malia and Sasha—and from Bo.

FIRST LADY: This is our first Christmas in the White House, and we are so grateful for this extraordinary experience. Not far from here, in the Blue Room, is the official White House Christmas Tree. Its an 18-foot tall Douglas-fir from West Virginia and its decorated with hundreds of ornaments designed by people and children from all over the country. Each one is a reminder of the traditions we cherish as Americans and the blessings were thankful for this holiday season.

PRESIDENT: Thats right, especially as we continue to recover from an extraordinary recession that still has so many Americans hurting: parents without a job who struggled to put presents under the Christmas tree; families and neighbors whove seen their home foreclosed; folks wondering what the new year will bring.




But even in these tough times, theres still so much to celebrate this Christmas. A message of peace and brotherhood that continues to inspire more than 2,000 after Jesus birth. The love of family and friends. The bonds of community and country. And the character and courage of our men and women in uniform who are far from home for the holidays, away from their families, risking their lives to protect ours.

To all our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen—I have no greater honor than serving as your Commander in Chief. Ive been awed by your selfless spirit, your eagerness to serve—at the Naval Academy and West Point. Ive been energized by your dedication to duty—from Baghdad to the Korean Peninsula. Michelle and I have been moved by your determination—wounded warriors at Walter Reed and Bethesda, fighting to recover, to get back to your units.

And Ive been humbled, profoundly, by patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. In flag-draped caskets ... Distributed by Tubemogul.

Exactly. He's no Ronald Reagan.

That is a touching message. Too bad it comes from a teleprompter and not from the heart.

Obama measures his accomplishments just like a valley girl would. "Dad:What did you today dear". "Daughter:Oh, I just bought a luis viutton purse and some earrings and a couple of tickets to spain and I am exhausted."

"Dad:But did you do anything productive?" "Daughter: well if I didn't buy all that stuff alot of ppl would be out of work so who knows how many jobs I saved or created!"

"Dad: but do u think money grows on trees!!!!". "Daughter: Oh just take care of it daddy like u always do!"

@stonerbudkap I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I criticize him all the fucking time and people have yet to call me racist (over this at least). Cenk from TYT criticizes him all the time and he hasn't been called racist. I can't speak for everyone but it hasn't happened to me.
