What if Bush had done this?

Seems the White House Christmas tree had a few very interesting ornaments. I wonder how many other Presidents had a Christmas ornament with the murderous Chinese Dicator Chairman Moa's face on it. Or an ornament with Mount Rushmore with their face replacing one of the original faces? How about a drag queen's face on an ornament. This President is more than scary with his actions. :roll:

UPDATE #3: It has been confirmed that the controversial “Mao” ornament contains a reproduction of Andy Warhol’s 1973 painting “Mao” which is at the Art institute of Chicago (http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/artwork/47149). An educated guess would indicate that the ornament is a link to the Obama’s Chicago home and the Art Institute. While some can argue that it’s not an ornament of Mao, but an Andy Warhol ornament instead, there is an image of The Great Wall of China on the ornament.

one would think that they could find a better "excuse" then that?

And drag queen Hedda Lettuce chimed in that she is proud to have her portrait hanging in the White House, even if it's just temporary:

"A month ago I was doing some volunteer work with SAGE, at the Gay Community Center in NYC," she posted on her blog. "SAGE is an organization that helps elder gay people by providing them social activities and a community space to hang out with their peers. It was a festive afternoon, for our task of the day was decorating Christmas ornaments for the Presidential tree in the White House. As it turns out, the White House sends ornaments to various organizations, the job is to make them dazzle in hopes that they will be proudly displayed at the big white mansion in our nations capital....

"I may never get equal rights, I may never be blond and pencil thin, I may never see Lady Gaga in concert this winter at Madison Square Garden (I could not get a ticket) but one of my balls is hanging in the White House with my name for all to see."

Designer Simon Doonan, who was in charge of organizing Christmas decorations at the White House, did not respond to calls for comment. Neither did the White House.

well at least she? he? (the lady drag queen) is not denying it.. or making lame excuses.. :roll: :roll: :wink:

I thought about that as well,,

a better solution would be to donate them to the state or museum in the president's home state to use on a holiday display so we could all have had a chance to see them before they are defaced...

I was a bit curious to see if this was true and stumbled across the snopes site on another Christmas in DC issue

I was able to find the sentence they claimed was false..

• Ornament designs may not reflect religious or political themes

and the link that snopes says it is false... ( I guess they didn't delete all the memos????
