  Obama felt the need, and had ABC’s complete agreement, to knock out a time-honored Christmas tradition “A Charlie Brown Christmas”.  This gives rise to a NEW special.  Man, was this ever a fun graphic.  Thoroughly delightful. His ego was… three… sizes.. too large. (Update:  It has been rescheduled for next week.) (Update 2:  [...]
