Obama's Christmas Card

Debbie Palin criticizes Government vacation card -- and the dog

So much for the vacation heart. Former Ak Gov. Debbie Palin is once again directed at the Current, questing a critical glare at the recognized White House vacation card for not concentrating on Xmas.

The card, seen above, was designed for the Government loved ones by L.A. artisan and developer Level Matuszak. It functions an picture of Bo, the Government loved ones dog, in entrance of a fire place in the Bright House selection with a poinsettia and other designs. The card, which makes no immediate discuss of Xmas and doesn't function a Xmas shrub, states: "From our loved ones to yours, may your vacations glow with the light of the period."

Palin informed Fox Information that she found it "odd" that the card focuses on the dog instead of cultures like "family, trust and independence." She also said that People are able to appreciate "American fundamental principles shown and viewed on Xmas credit charge cards and on a Xmas shrub."

In the past, Bright Home cards have assorted in terms of a high-end compared to a Religious approach. The Henry W. Shrub administration maintained toward the spiritual. In 2008, the Bright Home card made no direct reference to Christmas but presented a quotation from the Gospel of Matthew. In 2005, the Shrub family card presented a quotation from the book of Psalms.

The Expenses Clinton supervision took a more high-end add. The family 1995 card used the term "holiday" but presented an picture of a Xmas shrub.

The Government family has also recommended a more high-end strategy. Last seasons vacation greeting card presented an picture of a Bright Home included with snowfall, with the following greeting: "May your vacation be chock-full with all the simple presents of the period, and may your new year be endowed with health and enjoyment."

Matuszak said in a phone appointment the other day that he was approached a few months ago by the Bright House public assistant, who requested him to make this seasons vacation card.

"They desired to do an within photo, something house relevant," said Matuszak. One concept was to pay attention to Bo, the Government loved ones dog. "So we imagined, let's put Bo in entrance of a fire place."
