'The shifting dates of this popular holiday have always been confusing to the average American,' said White House spokesperson Scott McClellan. 'Now, the President certainly has nothing against the Jewish calendar. But this year, apparently, Hanukkah overlaps with Christmas. Many of our nation's leading ministries feel this is inappropriate, and the President agrees.' "
