What Should Sasha and Mailia's bedtime be in the White House? (sarcasm)
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 11:44 PM by redstate_democrat
Seriously, people need to get a fucking life! Stop obsessing over those kids. They are cute, ok. I know we haven't had kids in the WH in a long time, but this crap is seriously getting freaky.

It kind of looks like people are fetishizing this family.

No one has any say whatsoever on where those kids go to school. No one has any say whatsoever where the Obamas go to church when they get to D.C. No one has a say on those kinds of personal decisions. No one tells you how to carry on your private life, so why would you do that to the Obamas? Please just stop it.

1. I agree
Leave them the fuck alone. He is our President now (well, in January), but that doesn't give us the right to start messing around with his kids.

2. Exactly. This is some strange shit. Were people acting like this over Chelsea?
I get the feeling some people think they own this family or something. It ain't 1808. It's 2008.

4. I don't know
The Republicans had a field day and were vicious in their attacks on that poor girl. But not having a computer back then, I don't know if our side tried to micromanage her life like that.

7. In regards to Chelsea,
I recall a general furor over the fact that the Clinton's chose a private school for her as opposed to a public school. And comparisons to Amy Carter who went to public school.

It's not just these girls, it's any kid in that glassbowl. Remember the poor Kennedy kids?

11. Yes, the Clintons were majorly criticized for sending Chelsea to Sidwell Friends, a private school

in DC. There was a lot of interest in Chelsea (I remember as she was only a few years younger then me) and she managed to grow up into a fine young woman. I hope Malia and Sasha the best and Michelle and Barack are great parents so they should be fine.

3. No matter what time Barack & Michelle choose
I'm going to register a complaint with them about it! I'm committed to micromanaging every aspect of their lives - from staff & cabinet selections to which schools the girls will attend.

I'm also omniscient enough to know what decisions they're considering even before they do, so I'm going to bloviate tirelessly in order that they don't have to bother with heretical thoughts in the first place.

9. I REALLY must know exactly how long Michelle breast fed her daughters. My local La Leche league
will be demanding the answer from her shortly.

:sarcasm:

8. I think they need to be allowed to watch DVDs until they get sleepy and eat popcorn in bed.
And they should get candy for breakfast and be allowed to jump on the beds whenever they want to.

:D

10. And they should be able to fall asleep without having to get up and brush their teeth.
