| The Obama received backlash form the Consrvatives an the religious right for sending out their final holiday card that did notexplicitly state Merry Christmas, saying the omission downplays the Christian nature of the holiday. The direct references to their faith and saying "Merrry Christmas" in the final Christmas video should clear the air about the First family's religious beliefs. |
