George W. Bush's holiday cards
What's missing from the White House Christmas card? Christmas.(read more here.)
This month, as in every December since he took office, President Bush sent out cards with a generic end-of-the-year message, wishing 1.4 million of his close friends and supporters a happy "holiday season."
Many people are thrilled to get a White House Christmas card, no matter what the greeting inside. But some conservative Christians are reacting as if Bush stuck coal in their stockings.
They really do act like they own him, don't they? The conservatives feel they put him into office, and by gum, he'd better deliver the goods on their pet issues. This an interest group which seems to me to have a sense of entitlement which is growing seriously out of proportion to their proper place in American life (because they think it is their right to take over American life), and I am finding it increasingly alarming.
