President Obama And First Lady Michelle Obama’s 2016 Holiday Message The Obamas are wishing America a “Merry Christmas.” The President and FLOTUS sent out their final holiday message from the White House and gave a special shoutout to our troops. THE PRESIDENT: Merry Christmas everybody! One of the best parts of the holiday season is spending time with the special people in your life. And for me, that means getting some help from my best friend for our annual Christmas Weekly Address. THE FIRST LADY: Given how our first Christmas Weekly Address went, I realized that Barack needed all the help he could get. [PAUSE] THE FIRST LADY: Celebrating the holidays in the White House over these past eight years has been a true privilege. We’ve been able to welcome over half a million guests… our outstanding pastry chefs have baked 200,000 holiday cookies… and Barack has treated the American people to countless dad jokes. THE PRESIDENT: Although a few got a…Frosty reception. THE FIRST LADY: This year’s White House holiday theme is “The Gift of the Holidays,” and our decorations reflect some of our greatest gifts as a nation: from our incredible military families, to the life-changing impact of a great education. PLEASE…DON’T…GO.

$10,000 Raised For Terminally Ill Mom’s Christmas A Georgia mom who’s terminally ill and was facing eviction recently received a Christmas miracle. Jamie Kolev of Gwinett who’s dying of stage 4 breast cancer, received $10,000 from a local restaurant manager who spread cheer to her and her kids. WSBTV reports: “I think it will be a Christmas they will never forget,” Kolev said. Michael Clarke and his team at Del Frisco’s Grille in Buckhead stepped up to help this family, by taking donations. “It broke my heart to think what if these were my children,” Clarke said. They raised nearly $10,000. “The love, support, and caring the community has shown has just been incredible,” Clarke said. Kolev said the first thing she will be doing with the money that was raised is find a new home for her and the girls. Such a sweet story, nice to see Christmas kindness being spread this holiday season. We were there to see the girls open their first Christmas gifts. @Camera_girl_Nee pic.twitter.com/i0kRfW4bAk — Nefertiti Jáquez (@NefertitiWSB) December 25, 2016

Former Trump Advisor Calls Michelle Obama A “Gorilla” Folks are getting bold with their mouths out here in Trump’s America. Carl Paladino, an honorary co-chair of Trump’s New York campaign, was interviewed by local Buffalo newspaper Artvoice for an end-of-the-year feature on their hopes for 2017. Paldino’s hopes? Just a nonsensical string of racist insults toward Michelle Obama. Via USA Today : In response to a question about who should “go away,” Paladino suggested the first lady should “return to being a male” and move to an African cave. “I’d like (Michelle Obama) to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla,” Paladino responded, according to Artvoice. Paladino’s remarks drew a near-immediate backlash from officials and many social-media users in western New York, some of whom called on him to give up his school board seat. Instead, Paladino doubled down, claiming the remarks were meant to be humorous and had “nothing to do with race” despite the references to the African country and Michelle Obama, an African-American. “And yes, it’s about a little deprecating humor which America lost for a long time,” Paladino said of his Artvoice response. “Merry Christmas and tough luck if you don’t like my answer.” Seriously?? Since this is how Trump and his cronies think, tt may prove to be a rough four years on the horizon… Vogue/Getty/AP/Splash/WENN
