“The president said he usually writes back.”
“The president expressed amazement that detractors have accused him of trying to “kill Christmas” with political correctness. He accused conservatives of hypocrisy, saying they decry political correctness from liberals but act offended about issues such as the secularization of the Christmas holiday. (Washington Times) “Look, I had to live through controversies like the notion that I was trying to kill Christmas. Right?” Mr. Obama said. “Well, where’d that come from? Well, you know, ‘He said Happy Holidays’ instead of ‘Merry Christmas,’ so that must be evidence of him either not being a Christian or not caring about Christmas. It sounds funny now, but you’ll have entire debates in conservative circles around that.”A not really politically correct Barack Hussein Obama? Now that’s a new one.
“The president said he finds it ironic that conservative commentators such as Rush Limbaugh or conservative lawmakers “are very quick to jump on any evidence of progressives being ‘politically correct,’ but who are constantly aggrieved and hypersensitive about the things they care about, and are continually feeding this sense of victimization, and that they are being subject to reverse discrimination.” (Washington Times) “The Christmas holiday has been front and center at some of Mr. Trump’s “thank you” rallies in recent days, with large Christmas trees on display in arenas where he has spoken to supporters.”Notice that it’s “Christmas trees” at the Trump Thank You rallies, but “Holiday trees’ decked out in the White House? Ironic indeed that Obama would feel taunted by the letters of detractors he claims not only to have read but to have responded to.
