his daughters got that “I’d rather be in my bedroom watching Nickelodeon” look.
No matter how stupid, incompetent, out-of-touch, idiotic a politician is, his family is stuck with him (her) and should not be criticized for being his family. Just think...they have to live with the dope!!
The oldest one always looks like MO.... enough attitude there to choke the whole stable.
The media lost any right to outrage over a remark about any Democrats kids, when they went after Trig Palin. They need to just shut up right now.
I’ve seen a lot of “we have to leave the daughters alone” stuff here on FR over the years. A lot of posts about the horrible Bush girls, some on Webb’s daughter, and now the two Obama girls. Yet, invariably someone pipes up about how they should be “off target” and “off the table”, etc. We shouldn’t be that way, and all that.
The arguments go like “well, they can’t help it if their father is so-and-so” -— “they’re innocent.”
Well, there has also been a great deal posted here about blacks’ and liberals’ great protestations over “white privilege” and how we might not be directly responsible, but we receive the benefits.....blah, blah, blah...... and therefore have to pay up somehow, either through ridicule or some other way.
I submit the two girls are beneficiaries of the same kind of gain that we white privilegers are. Round the clock protection, fabulous taxpayer funded exotic locations, the best of schools, the best of futures..... to me it’s no different - and they should be fair game for comment, in my opinion.
and they both also have that “God Dammit, I can’t believe I have to put up with this (Fill In The Blank) for another two &^%$!! years.”
The left and the media/entertainment complex is completely hypocritical. They have one standard for their favorite lefties, and another for normal people.
If the President puts them on display, why are they sacrosanct? They weren’t just tagging along, they were props.
He chose to be President while his children were young, he chose to put his parenting on display, people have a right to make observations - his children were immodest in dress and acted like brats.
Those kids are not stupid. The look on their faces says it all. They’re bored out of their skulls by the simple-minded lameness of the event. Worse than that, they’re being used to make their father look like something that he isn’t (empathetic, warm-hearted, compassionate, presidential), and they know it. If the staffer made a mistake, it was in not pointing this out.
There is a big difference between Nancy Reagans Just say no campaign and Michelle Obamas school lunch program.
Nancys program was not a government top down initiative. Michelles program is.
Michele Obama is not an elected official she has no executive power what so ever. Her actions should be censored by the Congress.
Why the people of the United States put up with this crap I dont know.
The problem here is a communications director for a DC pol made those swarmy remarks. It's not appropriate to post negative stuff about anyone's kids, politician or not. I thought the real story was her lacking the judgment to be communications director for anyone.
The pictures are from a WH function. They should've been posted with no comment except that this is Sasha and Malia at a traditional WH event. The photos speak for themselves.
Sarah Palin was President......shame I missed it. It would be great but that is not what the point is. We are talking children of Presidents.
It’s not just being bored. It’s contempt. That’s the look on their faces. Contempt is the defining characteristic of the whole Obama family. Contempt for this party, contempt for this father, contempt for the law, contempt for the entire country.
Exactly
No one can argue with that reasoning! Good on ya!
They’re old enough to know that dear ol’ Dad is a complete schmuck, and possibly a poofter, and that Mommy Dearest both dominates him and holds him in contempt.
I feel sorry for them.
