Why the right uses a ‘different standard’ for the Obama family

MSNBC ^ | March 28, 2013 | Morgan Whitaker

[Zakeet]

Even before Iowa Congressman Steve King criticized Sasha and Malia Obama

[Zakeet]

It's OK to attack the Bush daughters because they deserved it, but it's racist to tell where the Obama daughters are vacationing because that's suggesting they are uppity Negros ... high-level welfare queens ... living it up on our dime.

P.S. Back in the good old days, the hippie idiots had a game where they would place an Alka-Seltzer tablet on their tongue ... the last one to puke won. Similarly, we need to have a contest to see who can watch the Al Sharpton video embedded in the article the longest before ...

Let me see, uhmmm, oh yes, we are all RACISTS!

Yes, that’s it!

</sarcasm barf off>

Actually, when they shut down White House tours, etc because of a lack of $$ yet their kids are jetting all over the place, I think they kind of set themselves up to be criticized..

[Responsibility2nd]

Now that news has been reported that the Obama girls have taken TWO SPRING BREAK TRIPS (to the Bahamas and to Utah to ski) in ONE WEEK, I wonder how the liberal idiots will spin this?

[El Cid]

...accusing conservative critics of trying to treat the first family like “high-level welfare queens” who are “living it up on our dime.” ...

Well, that IS an accurate description of all of our Government officials in Washington D.C. They ARE living on the taxpayer's dime, and rather than treating the taxpayer's hard earned labor in a frugal manner - they treat themselves to gold-plated health care plans; extravagant vacations and junkets; and endless treats. The ARE all welfare queens. The President and his family appear to be the most egregious - just how many vacations does one need? And why are we paying for it? - but I'd lump the Senate and most of the House into the same bucket of faux royalty.

Articles like these make me feel better. When liberals play the race card on any issue you know they know they are losing the argument.

[pnz1]

I think they are the ones the one holding themselves to a “different standard”.. of course someone is going to notice and point that out..

[Wiser now]

They set themselves up for criticism and now that they are getting it, they hope to bully us into silence by screaming “Racist.”
Me thinks the left is demanding a double standard for the Obamas.

[drypowder]

apparently the obozo hussein family is trying to reap all of the reparations they can for themselves thus leaving little to none for anyone who actually deserves some

[FroggyTheGremlim]

“Suggesting ... high-level welfare queens” who are “living it up on our dime.”

Uh, Hmmm?

Here how it is...you gets jello and we gets ice cream and cake.

[SMARTY]

They’re certainly trying to unload the cash register one vacation, one cocktail dress, one round of golf at at time!

It’s great fun spending OTHER PEOPLES’ money!!

[Iron Munro]

If the Obama family was white and republican they would have been torn to shreds in the MSM by now.

Of course that ignores the fact that if they were white and republican Barack would never have been elected to the Senate or the Presidency.

[Iron Munro]

high-level welfare queens” who are “living it up on our dime.”

Well said!

It would be difficult to come up with a more succinct and accurate description of the First Moochers.

Obama’s daughters are NOT being targeted for anything outside of how much the Obama’s are spending tax payer money to spoil them. In contrast, the extensive criticisms of the Bush daughters were about their personnel characters. The hypocrisy is so absurd as to make one wonder about the mental competency of the left to operate as adults in a free society.

[CaspersGh0sts]

They set themselves up for criticism and now that they are getting it,

Agreed. Perhaps Mr. Obama could tell us again how the wealthy need to pay their fair share again. Maybe from the slopes in Utah? Or the shores of Martha's Vineyard?

All the while his policies continue to fail. The restrctions on businesses continue to mount (and why conservatives don't call him to the carpet for this as a tax on the American people is beyond me--a regulation is a tax at best two steps removed).

[Baynative]

A good percentage of the support for Obama came from people who knew they'd be able to use his race as a tool to stifle opposition.

This is part of why the media collectively worked to hide his background and conceal his past associations.

[“It’s going back to this idea of the ‘uppity Negro,’ isn’t it?” Touré suggested. . . accusing conservative critics of trying to treat the first family like “high-level welfare queens” who are “living it up on our dime.”]

If Obama had turned around the economy, or even put the U.S. economy on his priorities list, his plush lifestyle wouldn't be an issue. The basis for criticism is that millions of Americans suffer while Obama dines and parties like a rock star. Someone on FOX News Watch last weekend described Obama’s relationship with the press as “Master/slave.” MSNBC best exemplifies that.

Never mind how they treated Bush’s daughters...look at how they treated Sarah Palin’s family. This liberal couldn’t BUY a clue.
