Did anyone else get a White House DNC Christmas card?
I got one two days ago

I can't find a picture of the front of the card but it has a gold relief Presidential seal and says "Season's Greetings 2009"

7. How Do You Know This?
and why is it "too bad" considering the DNC paid for them?

The holiday cards, to be mailed to foreign dignitaries, friends and family, were paid for by the Democratic National Committee. A DNC spokesman declined to say how many cards were sent out or how much they cost.http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2009/12/american_greetings_making_the.html

I must be "a friend" because I got one.

11. She bitches about anything the WH or Obama does. She'd find a different reason if this one wouldn't
work.

12. Because some friends in the WH told me. I have no problem with the DNC cards
but this is the first time ever the WH didn't send cards to those depts that work for them. Many folks were very hurt.Personally, I think someone dropped the ball.

23. Because they're mostly sent to people who gave money to the Democratic Party or to Obama's campaign
And sending Christmas Cards to people for that reason would be using taxpayer money for political purposes which is illegal.

22. Pretty sure I was on the list b/c I was a volunteer
not all volunteers got one, I'm sure - we had a wide range of volunteers in my county. some that phone banked or did a walk list once or twice - much appreciated.. but then there were some that were categorized by the campaign as "super-vols" those were the ones that took on leadership roles and were there every week and weekend phone banking, knocking on doors, organizing other vols, entering data, etc.

15. I got one. I just assumed because I had volunteered for the
campaign. My husband bought me a nice frame for it.

16. Isn't that a "holiday" card?
Or is it "seasonal"?

It covers lots of bases.
