“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!
