More evidence that the public will see as Obama not having control of anything or even caring to, as he can't even control his daughters in a Thanksgiving White House photo.
"All things considered, I'd rather be looting in Ferguson"
FTA :The post quickly drew ire on Twitter and elsewhere, with many calling for Lauten to be fired, even after Lauten deleted it and posted an apology.
"After many hours of prayer, talking to my parents, and re-reading my words online I can see more clearly just how hurtful my words were," Lauten wrote on Facebook, also widely reproduced before she made her page private.

There is so much to attack the Obamas' for. There's a veritable endless number of topics to choose from. I believe Lauten should be fired for being so incredibly stupid for giving the opposition a reason to show how mean-spirited Republicans are.
Generally speaking, it's never a good idea to attack the children of politicians. It just makes you look bad and is basically a defenseless posture. The same reaction occurred when Rush called The Clinton's daughter a "dog". It's crass, tacky. Leave the kids out of it.
She is the one without class. Besides. She gave one of the dumbest apologies I've ever heard. What kind of idiot prays before making a non-apology apology? "I'd like to apologize to all of those who I have hurt and offended with my words, and I pledge to learn and grow (and I assure you I have) from this experience," she added.
Not a big fan of Rush but in defense of Rush, he NEVER called Chelsea Clinton a dog.
She told the truth. I am saddened she apologized for telling the truth. Flame away. I disagree with your PC perspective.

Back in the early ‘80’s we lived in Kenya, had no TV and were very much out of touch with current US “fashion trends”. My wife & kids were visiting the “mall” during a trip to Nairobi when two Western teenaged girls walked by with the latest punk outfits, complete with dog chains around their necks.
As our six year old daughter, jaw dropped in astonishment, swiveled her head to watch them pass, my wife asked her, “well, what do you think?”
She replied, “Oh, Mommie, don’t they have mothers?”
Same comment applies in this case.
Liz:
You ignorant slut.
Lay off the kids.
Stupid party strikes again. Apologies never work.
Meh. The dishes it out but they can’t take it.
The same GOPe that always cautions conservatives to back down will probably fall over themselves to offer similar apologies even though they did not say anything.
The American people sent a message that they want Obama stopped. They want Leaders who will tell it like it is (Ted!) and really stick it to Obama. They want Leaders who will shut down the government if necessary to drive a stake through the heart of Obamacare. They want Leaders who will defend the Constitution by impeaching Obama.
The same GOPe people complaining about a simple matter of fashion criticism will also likely be the loudest to complain if Obama was not allowed to give the State of the Union.
Unfortunately, the lame stream media will keep this in the headlines to cover for a lack of policy in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the IRS scandal, Fast and Furious, etc
I think it’s classless and small to go after people’s kids, no matter how much you loathe the person. Their wives too, for that matter (just because they’re their wives), except for the stupid things their wives say or do on their own. I don’t care if the other side does it or not. I refuse to lower myself to the level of classless liberals and other low-class people.
When you are in the White House your whole family is a public figure. Nothing is off limits. PC crap. The criticism of the kids was valid there is nothing to apologize for. Short memory you have. Where were you when George Bush’s daughters were being criticized all over the media? Hmm?
She deserves every bit of nastiness she gets. This woman is lower than pond scum and that is pretty bad. Picking on a 10 and 15 year old.....Repulsive. She seriously needs to grow up.
I guess it is "hurtful" to describe them the way they appear accurately.
Maybe they're tired of his BS too.
Someone wrote something impolitic on Facebook.
Stop the presses!
She merely criticized their behavior. Lefties need thicker skin.
Obama is very boring and embarrassing. Teenagers can’t hide that kind of emotion when it’s happening right in front of them. The girls are being put through what the entire field of Democrat candidates in the last election avoided like the plague. Being seen with him.
Children should not be used as political props, or be conscripted by adults to further the political goals of the adults. This is exactly what Barack Obama did to his girls.
By the way, for those who follow education threads, they have seen me post this many times.
Other examples:
—Parents should not force children into public K-12 schooling in an effort to improve the irredeemable schools.
—Children should not be conscripted as Christian missionaries and forced into government K-12 schooling in an effort to spread the gospel in these godless places.
Since it’s a Republican, they call for firing. If it had been a democrat left-leaning media sycophant, it would be ignored.
Regardless, the girls should not be targeted or criticized.
And this is news in France (AFP) because????
The Obamas should give the girls the option of making appearances or not. If they choose to, they need to dress and behave appropriately. If they want to dress like trash and act like brats, that’s fine with me. Do it in private.
Those skirts are way too short and are totally inappropriate for this family event. They would not even pass our school dress code.
