[...] proves it. All things considered, for sheer probative news value, this clip falls short of even the Barney video Christmas card. Just further proof of how right — and awesome — James Harrison [...]

That was cute. I wonder how the Obama dog will top that?

I think the golf vision could have been spruced up with a Happy Gilmore-esque meltdown when he missed the put..no profanity or anything; just show him barking at the ball.

How about you grab some lube and head to the bathroom and keep your fantasies to yourself. Have a little respect. It’s a Christmas video. Does your mom run around in a bikini on Christmas? Do your friends compliment your sister on having a great a** over dinner? Time and place for sleazeball thoughts..this ain’t it.

What “holiday” season?

If you want to wish someone a happy [fill in the Wicca feast day], go right ahead.

If you don’t want to mention every possible celebration that might happen around Christmas, suck it up and say Merry Christmas.

What would have been a home run if Gov.Sarah Palin came to the door of the White House and told the President she was just visiting(for now)

I went to South America at Christmas last year and it really warms the heart and gives one so much joy to see Nativity scenes everywhere, Feliz Navidad said by all and whole towns show up for midnight Christmas Mass. The United States is losing it’s soul slowly but surely… I don’t care if there are Muslims, Jews , Buddist etc but this country was founded on Christian principles by Christians and that is the reason I believe God has blessed this country so much…I fully expect for those blessing to start to diminish…Who mocks God?

I like the president and I like Laura but this was lame… It might have passed if they had mentioned the reason for the season and said “Merry Chrstmas”…

I liked the credits music.

Republicans are bad actors unlike Dems, but I’m sure that’s what gets Dems in so much trouble.

When you say Holiday 4 times and Christmas 0 then you are going out of your way to be pc. Would a muslim, jew or budhist be offended that the Bushes said Christmas once or twice in the video clip? I doubt it, as they know they are Christian and that the holiday they actually celebrate is Christmas. As a Christian I find it offensive when people do not say Merry Christmas on purpose. It’s almost like they are Peter and denying Christ.

“Reading into things” at it’s finest.

Who was the vid shot for? Children – what adult would really care to watch the “first dog”.
Were they trying to be PC? Probably. It’s a video from our President on a tax-paid website.
If they said “Christmas” – would there be an atheist uproar? Probably. Look at the garbage in Oregon right now.
Who really cares if he doesn’t say “Christmas”? Religious zealots.

Seems you can’t please everyone. There’s not a damn thing wrong with the video OR the Bush’s saying “Happy Holidays”.

Let’s just continue to parse a video intended for children a little more.

I’m going to miss these videos. Judging by Obama’s performance at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner, such things will be unknown in the upcoming Administration.

When the president and his family use the word holiday four times in the video clip then they are going out of their way to be politically correct.

Jenna says decorating the house for the holidays.
W says last holiday here in the white house.
Laura says red, white and blue holiday.
And then Laura wishes everyone happy holidays at the end.

I agree Happy Holidays is appropriate for our entire nation. But W could have said that it was their last Christmas in the white house. Laura could have said red, white and blue Christmas. Why because it is personal to them that it will be there last Christmas there and they are making the Christmas tree red, white and blue.

When you say Holiday 4 times and Christmas 0 then you are going out of your way to be pc. Would a muslim, jew or budhist be offended that the Bushes said Christmas once or twice in the video clip?

Nastia Lukin and Shawn Johnson… yummy >_>

I’m not that much older than either of them, so I can totally say this >_>

BKennedy on December 15, 2008 at 9:47 PM

I’ve got a few more years than Nastia and Shawn – combined. Those two and the Bush daughters sure are good for the eyes.

Would have been a better video if the Bush daughters had worn bikinis.

I’m pretty certain that the Barney vids aren’t meant for adults to appreciate – and weren’t designed to impress – so quit dissing them. It’s like listening to someone whine and complain about the acting in the “Frosty the Snowman” and “Rudolph” stop-motion films. *sigh*

Kids love it – and offers a nice insight to the Christmastime happenings within the White House.

I thought it was really cute and cornball in a sweet way. I’m gonna miss the Bushes when the White House gets all cool and trendy under the Obama’s.

I’m not a big fan of this sort of thing, but I have no idea how anyone can watch this family and not think they are good folks.

Some of you guys would b!tch if they hung you with a silk rope. I though it was cute and the President is the President of all the people at the holiday season regardless of the fact that he personally is Christian. Stop being a bunch of poop heads and you know who I talking to. Thanks for the link AP, very sweet.

It's nice to see the happy first family. Barney seems pretty smart. I did notice the music and it sounded a little familiar. I kinda miss Bryan and Michelle and the all the funny threads Allah used to write.

You know I reckon Barney doesn’t dream about winning gold medals at the Olympics. I bet he dreams about going Cujo on reporters, especially ones from MSNBC.

Dreadnought223 on December 16, 2008 at 1:36 AM

Just what I was thinking, Dreadnought223!

Also, was anyone else reminded of Jib-Jab during the end credits?
