On Dec. 24, Christmas Eve, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama issued a joint weekly address where they wished the nation and the world a Merry Christmas. In addition to expressing their gratitude for serving the nation for the past eight years, the President gave a special mention to U.S. troops and encouraged all citizens to show their support for the armed forces. President Obama suggested citizens visit the website Joining Forces for tips, suggestions, tools and ideas for supporting our troops and their families.
While the First Lady will discuss White House decorations in the Oprah Winfrey special, she told viewers that this year’s holiday theme is “The Gift of the Holidays.” President Obama also addressed the nation and stated the following.
“And the greatest gift that Michelle and I have received over the last eight years has been the honor of serving as your President and First Lady. Together, we fought our way back from the worst recession in 80 years, and got unemployment to a nine-year low. We secured health insurance for another twenty million Americans, and new protections for folks who already had insurance. We made America more respected around the world, took on the mantle of leadership in the fight to protect this planet for our kids, and much, much more.
“By so many measures, our country is stronger and more prosperous than it was when we first got here. And I’m hopeful we’ll build on the progress we’ve made in the years to come.
“Tomorrow, for the final time as the First Family, we will join our fellow Christians around the world to rejoice in the birth of our Savior. And as we retell His story from that Holy Night, we’ll also remember His eternal message, one of boundless love, compassion and hope.”
