This entire thread is really getting me PO’ed. This is not my FR, not the FR I’ve been a part of for a long time. This is shameful and DU-worthy. They are little girls and we are treading on some really sick stuff here

The left and the MSM set the tone and the tenor of the last eight years. I for one and not going to let them up. For me kids are off limits until the family exploits them then they are fair game. Dog has a valid point.

An example of what you would consider exploiting the children?

Evidently there are far fewer adults left on this forum...

Agreed.

I fear that unless we take a hard line against this kind of behavior and demands some standards of behavior from others here, we can expect a great deal more of it.

Amen. I've been noticing that a lot since the election. There is a lot of nastiness here lately, but not just on this thread. I was away from FR for several years while overseas, and I miss the old civility. We cannot preach principled living and gutter fight at the same time. Barbara and Jenna were showing a lot of class and we should do the same. The muck on the Palin children was done by bottom dwellers and we have no right to be outraged if we behave in the same manner ourselves.

In the event of a crisis like say lewinsky. The family organizes a story about the kids Christmas pageant and the following trip to a soup kitchen and donation of a turkey or something orchestrated like that. Then follows it up with the kids showing BawWah around the home to show off Christmas decorations.

I would consider exploiting children leaving them to die after a botched abortion, and voting over and over to keep that happening, for political capital.

...helped them jump on a bed....

&&&&&
What?! Only an idiot would teach a kid to jump on a bed. I just want to scream when I see this stupid stunt on TV commercials. There is nothing cute about this, just as there is nothing cute about kids displaying poor table manners.

Sometimes in war you have to do things you are not proud of and if you do not think this is war on the part of the left you are sorely mistaken. The idea here is to win not make nice.

Damn it! By all means let's make fun of Obama when he deserves it, which is usually, and Michelle too if she presumes to stick her nose into the nation's business like Hillary.

But for pity's sake, the kids are off limits. This is not Daily Kos. I hope the mods are vigilant at slapping down anything about Sasha and Malia that is unseemly.

And PLEASE, do not give the Left evidence to portray us as racist. We despise Obama only for his policies and philosophies around here. PLEASE!?

When it comes to personal issues that touch on race, if you wouldn't put it in a letter to the editor of your hometown newspaper and sign it with your full name, don't put it here.

From the context of the story I believe they showed the girls how to jump onto a bed, which is too high to get onto easily.

But I am bad with other people’s kids. I love to teach them about sea food (see food!...opens mouth, showing food) It gives the parents something to undo.

That’s lovely, but because of Obama and his ilk, many children will not have the joys of jumping on beds and “see food.”

As the “Presidents’ Club” has a very small membership so does the first daughters’ club. It was very kind and thoughtful for Jenna and Barbara to welcome the Obama girls.

Agreed. The Zulu spear stuff is beyond the pale. We are better than this, guys! Do not stoop to their level!

The White House is a terrible place to be just a kid.

I am glad the Bush2 showed O's little un's some coping skills.

No harm done.
