Barack Obama did not release a special statement
for Christmas this year.
But, Barack
Obama did issue a statement in celebration of the fake holiday Kwanzaa on
Monday December 26.
From the White House website:
From the White House website:
Michelle and I send our warmest
wishes to all those celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season. Today marks the
beginning of the week-long celebration honoring African American heritage and
culture through the seven principles of Kwanzaa — unity, self determination,
collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity,
and faith.
We celebrate Kwanzaa at a time
when many African Americans and all Americans reflect on our many blessings and
memories over the past year and our aspirations for the year to come. And even
as there is much to be thankful for, we know that there are still too many
Americans going through enormous challenges and trying to make ends meet. But
we also know that in the spirit of unity, or Umoja, we can overcome those
challenges together.
As families across America and around the world light the red,
black, and green candles of the Kinara this week, our family sends our well
wishes and blessings for a happy and healthy new year.
To be fair, the president did send out a
Christmas card… But it did not refer to Christ or Christmas. It was a picture
of Bo the dog.
