Funny how "tradition" is far more appealing on election cycles...
The First Family is all smiles in their Christmas-themed family portrait card which was released Thursday, continuing their recent string of holiday-related appearances.
The Obamas are shown sitting hand in hand in the Oval Office, with Michelle and Malia leaning in to one another while Sasha rest on her father's knee.
Even though Mr Obama has been president for the past three years, this is only their second family portrait, having skipped the tradition last year.

Congressmen can't say 'Merry Christmas' in mail.....
"Currently, incidental use of the phrase Happy Holidays is permissible but Merry Christmas is not," said Salley Wood.
So it's true, the elected representatives of the nation that puts "In God We Trust" on its currency are not permitted to use the greeting that has likely been uttered by every living adult American at least once in their lifetimes.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: 'Don't ... use me as a whipping boy'.....
Sheriff Joe for President!!!!
Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Thursday he would cooperate “the best we can” with demands for changes to his Phoenix-based department, which federal prosecutors said had illegally arrested Latinos, abused them in the county jails and failed to properly investigate hundreds of reported sex crimes.
But Arpaio, whose national prominence is partly due to his pugnacious nature, added: “And if they are not happy, I guess they can carry out their threat and go to federal court.”

‘Indefinite Detention’ Bill Heads To Obama’s Desk As White House Drops Veto Threat.......
I think this should give people pause.....alot of pause.......
UPDATE: Obama has dropped his threat to veto the bill and is now expected to sign it into law. Remember – it was Obama’s White House that demanded the law apply to U.S. citizens in the first place.
The bill which would codify into law the indefinite detention without trial of American citizens is about to be passed and sent to Obama’s desk to be signed into law, even as some news outlets still erroneously report that the legislation does not apply to U.S. citizens.

Obama Campaign Collecting GOP Emails ......Jeez..I already get enough JUNK!
Where's the internet kill switch when ya need it????
The Obama information collection effort is cast under the mischievous guise of asking Obama supporters to “have a little fun at the expense of a Republican in your life” by signing them up to get an email from the Obama campaign ribbing them for having “inspired” the Obama supporter to donate.

Atheists Demand Nativity Scene in Texas Be Torn Down .....
How about this...you ignore it, ey? And, how is this bothering you anyway? Your group is located in Wisconsin!? GO AWAY!
Christian pastors in Henderson County, Texas, are fighting back against atheists who are demanding that a nativity scene located on a courthouse lawn be taken down.
The group behind the complains, the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, frequently targets faith and religion projects that are placed on public lands. The group sent a letter to the county that explains how a local resident, who wishes to remain nameless, is offended by the scene.

Special Michelle Hawaii Flight Would Cost Thousands ....And they would care why?
"Let them eat cake!"......
President Obama’s decision to send Michelle and his daughters to Hawaii ahead of him if he is delayed by a fight with Congress could cost taxpayers tens of thousands of extra dollars to fund two separate vacation flights and related costs. The move would also violate the intent of an executive order he issued just last month urging federal employees to cut back on expenses like travel.

Repairing the Broken Budget Process......
Obama and Co. haven't introduced a serious budget YET. However each day they ask us to live on less and less, give more and more without once batting an eye at their failings as ( and I use this term loosely ) Leaders.
Paul Ryan...who almost daily is vilified even by his own party....keeps chugging along....offering idea after idea.......trying to stop the insanity.

Has Obama Set the Stage for Pearl Harbor All Over Again?.....
Here is the scenario: The U.S economy has hit the skids. Millions of Americans are unemployed. Federal stimulus programs have piled up debt but haven’t brought back jobs for most Americans. Critics charge that the stimulus funds have mostly gone to friends of the President. At the same time, the defense budget has been cut to the bone, and America’s troops have neither the weapons nor the personnel to carry out their assignments.
