I was on another forum and read a thread about Obama not celebrating Easter but celebrating Muslim holidays.
Frankly, I'm surprised lilMike hasn't brought that one up yet. It was front page center on Drudge. If Sam was here, I'm sure he would have though.
The claim that was made?
Big fucking deal!Predictably, Fox & Friends has picked up where Fox Nation and Sean Hannity left off in attacking President Obama for not issuing a presidential proclamation on Easter. The morning crew made a lot of hay over the fact that Obama has never issued a proclamation on Easter, despite mentioning that Obama hosted the White House Easter egg roll and made "some comments about Easter at a breakfast last week."
Not reported? That no presidential proclamations have been made on Easter for at least the past 20-plus years. Additionally, that "breakfast last week" where Obama mentioned Easter? Yeah, that would be the Easter Prayer Breakfast that Obama hosted. Oh, and Obama also mentioned Easter during his weekly address. But, such facts could never stand in the way of Fox's mission to attack Obama over anything at all costs.
As Media Matters has noted, Little Green Footballs blogger Charles Johnson documented that presidents going back through at least 1980 have not released a proclamation about Easter.
