“..The descendants of those who crucified Christ... have taken ownership of the riches of the world, a minority has taken ownership of the gold of the world, the silver, the minerals, water, the good lands, petrol, well, the riches, and they have concentrated the riches in a small number of hands.” - Hugo Chavez, December 24, 2005

President Bush's annual Hanukkah message is here. The White House 2007 Holiday page actually has some pretty interesting videos of the various celebrations and decorations in and around the President's home this time of year.
