The View on The White House Christmas Card (VIDEO)

December 22nd, 2007 at 09:48 by MsUnderestimated

Well, I may be a couple days late and more than a dollar short, but here is the video of Barbara Walters being aghast at receiving a “Christian” Christmas card from President Bush and his family. The stunned host of The View displayed the card apparently hoping to elicit a complimentary response to her reaction. Did she get it?

Here’s a partial transcript from LifeSite:

“First of all, let me show you the cover of the White House, which is nice and bland…So that’s pleasant enough. This is what interested me, that it is a religious Christmas card. Usually in the past when I have received a Christmas card, it’s been ‘happy holiday’s’ and so on- And this says:

“‘You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You gave life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.’

“That’s from Nehemiah in the Old Testament. I don’t remember- and I’m sure people will remind me-getting a religious card. Now does this also go to agnostics and atheists and Muslims and -”

Moderator Whoopie Goldberg and co-host Sherri Shepherd tried to steer clear of controversy by joking that the Scriptures were about Walters, but Walters persisted in her critique, asking, “Don’t you think it’s a little interesting that the president of all the people is sending out a religious Christmas card?”

Oh, the HORRORS! Please, Barbara, save us from this absolute TRAGEDY of a U.S. President expressing his Christian wishes during this *gasp* “Christmas” holiday!

Watch Barbara’s shameful display here.

    Walters is just another example of the "secular" "tolerant" left.

    what complete and utter rubbish. She should be feeling honored to be on the White House/Presidential card list. Why do I have the feeling that NO MATTER WHAT Mr.& Mrs. Bush did with the card for BABA she would have taken it as a chance to snipe and ridicule.

    Like it or not Ms. Walters, Christmas is by and large a Christian holiday, observed and recognized by both civil holiday as well as a major component of the US population (includes citizen, permanent alien resident, and illegal immigrant as well).

    If Mr/Mrs Bush had elected to blanderize their greeting, I am sure MS. Walters would have complained about how non sectarian it was, "was Mr. Bush afraid to vocalize his traditional religious feeling of good will and thankfulness?' would have been the question she raised. She took the time to trash ("bland") the artwork of the cover of the card (more needless sniping and complaining). Absolutely, I think Ms. Walters should ask to be removed from the list in future, and perhaps she should WORK on Tuesday, if expressions of religious /spiritual good wishes at the time of Christmas holiday troubles her so much. I am sure her artistic comments bring warmth and appreciation to the artist behind that picture of the White House. Gotta wonder if same card/same art/same message but signed by Mr. Clinton would be treated same way by Ms. Walters?

    On behalf of many of my american citizens (and residents) and retired servicemen, I would gladly accept a CHRISTMAS CARD from the President and First Lady, and would under no circumstances feel a need to gripe about the spiritual content nor the choice of cover art. And if in future we elect a Baptist or a Mormon or a Muslim president, and they were to include my family in mailing list for a similarly spiritual/religious greeting card, I would WELCOME that too...


    I would be delighted to see an apology from the Network for her poor behavior..but then again, there are only so many christmas miracles that can happen.
