Amazing how a “reelection” can reshape an incumbent's thinking about many things. Now safely ensconced in the White House for 49 more months, the Obama's have decorated the place with "54 Christmas trees" this year.
Even allowing for the usual Washington excesses with “taxpayer” money, that's a whole “grove” of Christmas trees.
In fact, the Obama's 54 trees this year are almost 50% more Christmas trees than last year. That was during the campaign before Obama whispered a reminder to the Russians that he had to be careful until November 6th when a victory would give him more “flexibility.”
Also, I'm sure they are not referred to as "Christmas trees" at the White House. Probably more like “Comrade Firs” or “Islamic Spruces.” I would have suggested “PC Bushes,” but that would have been “racist” for anyone to reference Bush in any positive way.
My question is why only "54 trees?" Shouldn't there be one for each of the "57 states" Obama campaigned in this past year?

“We have 54 trees in the White House,”an excited Michelle Obama proudly told visitors the other day. “54! That's a lot of trees.”

This is Obama's way of giving the “middle finger” ornament to poor Americans who cannot afford a Christmas tree, let alone all the rest of us. The actions of this couple remind me of past "monarchs" that didn't care about the "serfs" who voted for them.
