Destroying Presidential Traditions

The White House has an age-old tradition of throwing a Christmas Party er, Holiday Gathering, er, mid-December get-together for the press corps, diplomatic officials, and others.  At this get-together, it is traditional for the President and First Lady to host a receiving line, where all the guests are greeted, and have the opportunity to have a picture taken with the first couple.  It has been a tradition for decades, honored by Presidents of both parties.  No more.  The lord and lady Obama cannot be bothered with meeting the plebes, and the White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel did not inform them of what a breach of protocol this would be.  This is upsetting to the chief constituency of the Obama administration, the state-run media.  Yet another example of the utter disregard for American traditions by this administration.
