Oh, it&#039;s not even a real image of Mao, it&#039;s a 1960&#039;s portrait of him down by Andy Warhol.

		<description>By that I mean latching on to this or that latest, most innovative idea that some self styled money making guru has put out in the hope it’ll go viral and make them a lot of money off the backs of all the headless chickens who will follow them blindly down a blind alley. Its a shame but a truism nonetheless that people will follow where someone they see as an expert leads. Even if they lead them to certain disaster, which is what most of the gurus tend to do to their flocks. 
The trick is to recognize a shadow when you see it!

		<description>[...] From Chattahbox: Right-wing fake controversy arrives right before Christmas, courtesy of the crack reporting team at Andrew Breitbart’s right-wing BigGovernment website in a big “scoop” entitled, “EXCLUSIVE: Transvestites, Mao And Obama Ornaments Decorate White House Christmas Tree.” Photos of the offending Christmas ornaments are shown and we find out that none other than a gay, Simon Doonan creative director of Barney’s New York, is responsible for this outrage. Out of 800 Christmas ornaments sent to community groups, schools and charities for decoration, the right-wing sniffs out three that fit nicely into their favorite activities according to Media Matters: “red-baiting, gay-baiting, and suggesting that Obama is arrogant.” [...]</description>

		<description>Oh no! Republicans MUST NOT get their knickers in a twist because it&#039;s just a &#039;silly mistake.&#039; Oh NO, Republicans (and their &#039;ilk&#039;) are just being &#039;oversensitive&#039;.

I&#039;M GETTING SICK OF HEARING THAT CRAP!!! When SHOULD we get our knickers in a twist???? When he takes all our money? When he turns this country into a Socialist Hell??? When our Parents are killed due to rationing from this train wreck of a healthcare bill? Oh WAIT...It&#039;s already HAPPENING. 

Perhaps if all of those people who say there is nothing wrong with this would PULL THEIR HEADS OUT OF THEIR ASSES, then they would realize that this so-called President is running this country into the ground.  His narcissistic bs will kill millions and turn us all into slaves for the government. 

But hey...when the gov&#039;t tells you that you cannot give or get Christmas Presents because the United Socialist Government of America says it&#039;s illegal....don&#039;t get your knickers in a twist now...................</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t have any input as to the design of most of my Christmas ornaments, either, but if I had a picture of Charles Manson that somebody else made, it would raise an eyebrow, don&#039;t you think?  Okay, so I didn&#039;t specifically tell anyone to put it there (maybe even had no idea it was there), so I&#039;m off the hook, right?  Someone I approved to decorate my tree thought it would be a good idea.  So, yes, it is a reflection on my choices and who I have making decisions in my home.

The logic of Dave&#039;s post and others is pretty transparent:  Obama has Mao on his Christmas tree, and, therefore, Republicans don&#039;t have a brain.  In other words, &quot;I can&#039;t really defend this, so I&#039;ll just call you an brainless idiot.&quot;   

Some dismiss the Mao ornament as a work of art, as though that supercedes the content of the image.  Well, great.  Using that logic, why can&#039;t he have a classic painting of the birth of Jesus?   Maybe a great big one should go on public display at the Capital.   It&#039;s only a work of art.   It means nothing.  Right? 

As far as the image of Obama on Mt Rushmore, I&#039;d say it is more likely a reflection of his sense of humor.  I&#039;m sure it isn&#039;t arrogance.  He probably doesn&#039;t take himself and this &#039;leader of the free world&#039; stuff too seriously.  Neither does the majority of Americans polled, so let&#039;s give him a pass on that one.

Bottom line is, either O digs Mao and circus freaks, or he isn&#039;t calling the shots at home.  Whatever the case, thumbs way down on your Christmas tree, Mr. President.  

I think a copy of Obama&#039;s Nobel Prize hanging between the image of Mao and Mt Rushmore would be about par for the course.</description>

		<description>Sometimes the right wing, religious conservative rednecks in this country just kill me.  They really think they&#039;re on to something here!  If we show the world that Obama has an ornament with Mao&#039;s picture on it, everyone will realize he&#039;s a muslim/communist/satanic man whose intent is to destroy the good ole&#039; USA, right?

If you actually bothered to read the article, it&#039;s obvious that Obama had no input on the design of the ornaments. The whitehouse shipped hundreds of plain white ornaments to various community groups around the country to decorate as they pleased.  The fact that someone put a picture of Mao on one, might suggest that somebody, somewhere in this country is a communist. That shouldn&#039;t exactly be a surprise to anyone; there&#039;s a communist party in the USA that puts someone on the ballot for president every four years. What it tells you about Obama is absolutely nothing, except that he&#039;s too busy to personally approve each and every item on the whitehouse christmas tree.

The ornament with Obama&#039;s face on Mt Rushmore tells you that somebody, somewhere thinks he&#039;s one of our greatest presidents. It tells you nothing about Obama!

Finally to respond to Bob Schnorgy:  Didn&#039;t I hear that exact rant from Rush Limbaugh? We liberals can&#039;t think for ourselves, but it&#039;s all of you right-wingers that proudly call yourselves ditto-heads! 

Despite what you said in your post, I don&#039;t have any trouble thinking for myself and defining my own beliefs.I don&#039;t disagree with everything the right-wingers say simply because the say it; I usually disagree with it because it&#039;s not based on anything but hatred and ignorance.  And as for why I&#039;m here - it&#039;s for the comic relief. It&#039;s ridiculously funny to watch the dittoheads jump on anything, no matter how insignificant, to try to prove their point. I can just imagine the conversations.  &quot;Let&#039;s see, the economy is recovering after 8 years of Republican stupidity,  the stock market&#039;s up, inflation is down, we are slowing gaining back the respect of the rest of the world, everything he&#039;s doing seems to be working......What can we bitch about to make everyone believe that Obama is not only wrong but an evil and immoral person?? Oh, wait. I&#039;ve got it!  Christmas tree ornaments! That will show the liberals how wrong they are!&quot; 

Too funny!!! And they take thenselves so seriously. I really think the Republican party should change their symbol to the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. &quot;If I only had a brain&quot; seems such an appropriate theme. 

Thanks for the entertainment!</description>

		<description>You must act before it is too late! The lefties will say this is just a cute prank, it is not! My country (Sweden) has been enslaved for many decades by hords of little &quot;obamas&quot; : socialist and communist opression. We have the highest taxes in the world. People can not say anything negative about mass immigration by muslims into Sweden, if the do they are immediatly branded &quot;nazis&quot; or &quot;extreme right winged&quot; Sounds familiar?

		<description>You can&#039;t logically conclude anything specific from the ornaments, but it&#039;s quite natural to question why he would have these images on his Christmas tree, unless you are a mindless suckup.  On one extreme, there are those who seem to look for evidence under every rock that Obama is the commie loving antichrist.  There is no shortage of the other extreme who would think him a darling if he gave the State of the Union in a red toga holding a hammer and sickle.   If you are one of those two extremes pointing a finger and hurling cheap shots at the other, you are really just looking at yourself in the mirror.    Enjoy.</description>
