Israel Matzav: President Obama's 'holiday reception'

President Obama's 'holiday reception'

Even when he's trying to do something right, he can't get it right. This is from a New York Times article on the White House Chanuka party.

President George W. Bush, who began the tradition of White House Hanukkah parties, invited 600 people to his last party, administration officials say. But rumors spread wildly, first in the Israeli press and then locally, that President Bush had invited 800 people and that the Obamas were planning to invite only 400. (Administration officials say they have invited 550 people.)

The invitations have also caused some consternation because they make no mention of Hanukkah, inviting guests to “a holiday reception” on Dec. 16.

I wonder if they're officially letting the media in this time. Heh.
