Bill Donohue comments as follows:
 
The Italians are famous for creating novel nativity scenes, but this year they outdid themselves by including President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle. Look for the ACLU to import the Obama crèche and have it erected on the White House lawn, making the case that this is a free speech issue, not a church and state matter. And because some of the figurines hold a sign that says, \”God Bless America,\” look for Obama’s fans to thank him for his blessing.
 
Shame on the Italians for overlooking Joe—there are any number of animals he could have represented.
