President Obama Not Keen on Keeping Up With Kardashians
EmailPresident Obama has big problems on his plate, so no surprise he has little interest in keeping up with the Kardashians.
As for the first daughters, Malia and Sasha, he’d rather they didn’t watch “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” either.

“Barack really thinks some of the Kardashians – when they watch that stuff – he doesn’t like that as much,” first lady Michelle Obama said in a recent interview with iVillage.
But it’s not totally up to him.
“I sort of feel like if we’re talking about it, and I’m more concerned with how they take it in. What did you learn when you watched that? And if they’re learning the right lessons, like, that was crazy, then I’m like, ‘OK,’” said the first lady, who monitors her daughters’ screen time.
The girls, ages 13 and 10, are not allowed to watch television or use the computer during the week except for schoolwork. They can watch a limited amount of television on weekends.
But perhaps the president is softening his stance some on the Kardashians. When the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team attended a ceremony at the White House last year, Obama shook Khloe Kardashian’s hand – her husband is Laker Lamar Odom – and said, “Great show,” according to TMZ.
The Kardashians, frequent Twitter users, were surprisingly mum about the Obamas’ comments on their show, nor did their rep or the show’s rep respond immediately to a request for comment.

I wish people would get over it. He is human just like everyone else. My kids are 12 and 5 and if I was t catch them watching “Keeping Up With Kardashians” it would be a problem. I have nothing at all against them but I is not a childrens show. Get over it, he is being a father to his children. Some parents just don’t care what their children watch and can’t figure out why the are having problems with their kids.

She didn’t say he didn’t like the show. She said he didn’t like his daughters to watch. I like the show but its certainly not a kid’s show. Not with kloe’s mouth and telling her mom to suck her**** among other things
I agree – he’s a dad looking out for his kids best interest and ensuring they are not exposed to things that are inappropriate for them.
The media is at it again – making news where there isn’t any!

I don’t blame the man, specially with the way the Kardashians act now, did anyone say PLASTIC!
The first episodes they seemed down to earth, but that was just acting cause now you see the true colors……I don’t think any child should watch, and I think adults watch just because we can’t believe there are people like that in this world!

I pulled the plug on my cable a year ago, and I don’t miss it. You can watch anything you want over the internet, and in my mid-size town, we get ABC, CBS, NBC and a bunch of other stations over the air for free. Better yet, the over the air is HD, so as clear as over cable. Saves me $70 per month, which is $840 per year. Woo Hoo!

I agree the guy has every right to say what he doesn’t like, just because he is the president shouldn’t be used against him as some stupid reason to throw punchs. grow up people, the only reason people say things about him is because he is in the lime light as a leader, he does have a father side as well. god grow up. I see more idiots on the road everyday in traffic texting and talking on there cell phones then paying attention. take the time and your mouth and solve idiots that don’t deserve to drive on highways while talking on phones and causing my insurance to go up.

I will agree that the Kardashians and many other reality shows are not CHILDREN friendly. Especially how people call each other names and the Kardashians calling their mom the B word-INSANE! President Obama has the responsiblity to monitor his childrens entertainment choices. As a matter of fact, all adults and parents with common sense know they are obligated to monitor their childrens televsion, movie and game playing choices. As an adult with common sense like Obama he is not againt the Kardashians he is parenting his children in a proper manner.
