The office of first lady Michelle Obama said that the White House didn't know what was on the ornaments, which were made by community groups and were among 800 placed on the tree in the White House's Blue Room. Do the decorations suggest a lapse of judgment or is Breitbart just scandalmongering? (Watch a report about the controversial White House Christmas ornaments)
Obama's being disrespectful: The Mao ornament is "a slap in the face to every American," says Nancy Morgan in Newsreal, but it's "not a surprising choice — considering the eerie parallels between China's Great Leap Forward and the path Obama has put America on today." Throwing in a drag queen, though, shows Obamas lack of respect for our Christian traditions — sort of like "a dog peeing on a Bible."
