Christmas Comes to the White House

Michelle Obama unveiled the Christmas decorations today at the White House with military families.  The theme this year is Shine, Give, Share.  The military has been put front and center on many of the decorations.  There are medals and symbols from every branch of the military.  

There is also a Gold Star tree.  A Gold Star mom looks on.  

Bo the first dog has a prominent presence, he appears in some form or another in almost every room. Here he is in licorice, recycled plastic bags, and felt.  

Michelle Obama also hosted military children in a crafts and cookie decorating session.

This is the official tree in the Blue Room that features handmade cards from military children.  

The trees are lovely.  I am glad to see that the main theme is designed around military families, to say thanks for the sacrifices that not just our soldiers make, but what their entire families make.  


I guess they put the Mao and Lenin ornaments in the residence this year.  So, I got snarky.  Sue me.

A Pay Check for Me, But Not for Thee - Congresswoman Refuses to Give Up Pay Check During Shut Down

A federal government shut down is all but certain.  The new house rules do not allow enough time for the house to vote on a new piece of legislation to fund the government for the balance of the fiscal year and the senate will not vote on the house bill that passed 45 days ago.  Many federal employees will not get paid during this shutdown.  The men and women who are serving in our military will have a check cut from DoD on Saturday that will pay them for the first week of the month and will not be paid again until the federal government re-opens.  We have families that have loved ones serving in Afghanistan risking their lives and they will not paid.  Many of these families do not live on base.  They have mortgages to pay, food to buy, and need gas in their cars.  The president has stated he will not sign a bill that will continue to pay the troops and fund the wars.  Some members of congress have said they will forgo their paychecks while this is going on.  Congresswoman Linda Sanchez doesn't agree.  She lives paycheck to paycheck.  On a salary of 174,000 per year.  That is almost 4K per month after taxes (depending on the rate she pays, I deducted 46% for federal and state, after all she is from CA and they pay high taxes).  Poor baby, the military families would love to make that kind of money.  Oh, and that doesn't include her husband's income. CA's 39th must be so proud.
