You may already have heard what the First Lady had to say when speaking with David Letterman (David Letterman?) the other night about raising kids in the White House:
“For us, it’s the values. The thing that we try to do is make sure — the residence is on the second and the third floor of the White House. And what we want to have happen is when they get off that elevator and walk in to our residence that it feels like the south side of Chicago, the same values, the same rules, the same sense of responsibility…”
She may want to re-think the import of those “south side values,” given what’s going on back home these days:
“Chicago’s police superintendent says the city is re-tooling its anti-gang strategy, following a particularly violent weekend during which several people, including a 6-year-old girl, were killed.”
and
“The majority of shootings in the city between Friday evening and early Monday morning happened on the city’s South Side, but areas from West Rogers Park to Humboldt Park also saw gun violence. The youngest victim was a 6-year-old girl, who was likely the innocent victim of gang violence in the Little Village neighborhood.”
Based on a quick search of “chicago south side violence”, I really don’t want South Side values being instilled in the White House. Do you?
2012: Anybody But Obama
It sure was awkward to hear her say that.
South Side values? She wants the daughters to feel like they are on the South Side?
Among the sad features of the South Side: drive by shootings, youth gangs doing God knows what, baby mamas, boys and young men with pants falling down, gang graffiti everywhere, abandoned buildings, houses and buildings with bars on the windows, hustlers of various stripes, high school dropouts hanging out on the streets not doing anything with their lives, people speaking Ebonics rather than standard English............
She really wants her daughters to feel like they are on the South Side????????
You can take the kid out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the kid.
“when they get off that elevator and walk in to our residence that it feels like the south side of Chicago”
And when you go down there you better just beware of a man named LeRoy Brown... Cause he’s bad
South Side values. You can’t make this stuff up. And this message from a mug like that...
Southside values. Isn’t “Rev.” Wright teaching values in his church there? Mrs. Obama is speaking in code.
