bad writing- Malia is going to camp, Sasha and Wookie and 30 of her closest friends are going to a resort in Spain
Maybe the first vaca Michelle has had without Reggie in a long time
She: “Honey, next vacation we leave Reggie home or me go without you....
He: “ uh uh uh Buh bye”
She: “and I ain’ taking the DOG! So make sure Reggie scoop the poop!”
Obama never said they didn't celebrate the kids' birthdays. What they said was that they don't load them up with gifts. They have parties. Sasha Obama Celebrates 9th Birthday With a Pizza Party
Here's the original quote from People Magazine that started this whole thing:
PEOPLE: Someone told me today that you don't do birthday presents.
Michelle: No, because we spend hundreds of dollars on a birthday party and movie tickets and pizza and popcorn ...
Barack: That sleepover is enough. We want to teach some limits to them. And their friends bring over presents.
Michelle: They get so much stuff that it just becomes numbing. Malia believes there is still a Santa Claus even though she's a little wary because some of her friends are non-believers. But Malia says, "Ma, I know there is a Santa because there's no way you'd buy me all that stuff." [Laughing]PEOPLE:So what does a slumber party at the Obama house look like?
Barack: They're pretty noisy.
Michelle: The older they get, they just talk a lot. But they're at the age where they're pretty self-sufficient. [For Malia's birthday] we're going to go swimming, see Wall-E, make pizzas, have sundaes.
You’re correct. I knew qll this from having read a dozen stories on it. I was a bit taken back by the person telling me the story was denied.
Barack will have a time with all his gay friends with Michelle not around. Only thing, those gays better take
out a life insurance policy that pays if murdered.
And this comes on the very same day that the New York Post is reporting that Obama supporters pay $30,000 each for dinner with the President, but he eats alone in another room.
They probably know when Obama’s REAL birthday is.
Not only bad grammar, but why did she even write that? It seems so forced. Something is strange about the comment. I know they do not celebrate birthdays, so perhaps she was advised she must say something. Or, was she trying to make it look like Obama's family will be with him another year, when actually they are tired of the whole scene and would rather not be in Washington but just want to reassure him they will stay. (Remember, MaBelle is going to a friend's villa in Spain with the girls, not staying around for Zero's pretend birthday.) In all, it seems to be a very strange comment --- totally devoid of love or affection. But then, I have always felt there is no love between these two, and hasn't been for many years. Another "opportunistic" marriage in politics.
Okay, this seems to contradict what I had previously read.
Facebook has an ad concerning the signing of the asshole’s birthday. I deleted the ad and FB wanted to know why.
One of the reasons why the ad was deleted was - It offends me.
Yep, I picked that reason, lol.
Yeah, the soundbite that the Obamas don't buy their kids gifts took on a life of its own, with people leaving out the whole story.
