She's a panderer. Simply saying "Merry Christmas" should suffice for all Americans.
83% of Americans identify themselves as Christian, so the odds are good you won't "offend" anyone with the greeting.
That said, no one should be offended anyway.
As a Christian living in Israel, I would happily return a "Happy Hanukkah" if I received the greeting. I wouldn't be offended.
As a Christian living in an Arab state, I would especially be happy to return a "Happy Ramadan" if I received the greeting, not offended (or else I may be beheaded).
If you choose the "Happy Holidays" route because you feel it's the PC thing to do, and it makes you feel good about yourself, then thats your prerogative, but no one should be apprehensive about wishing anyone a Merry Christmas.
