Jonas Brothers Surprise First Tweens with White House Visit

if they were not appreciated,they would not have gotten in.

Thats nice for the girls…new home, new area…probably not as cool being a Presidents kids in some ways as some may think. Im sure this helped them settle in a bit more. Im not an Obama fan, in fact its really scary how little people knew about him, but put the reigns of the worlds most powerful and FREE nation into his self -professed Marxism loving hands…kind of an insult to My uncle and grandfather that fought and died fighting Marxism in the 1900s. That said, these two young girls are sweethearts and its nice to see young kids in the white house again. I hope the white house staff has lots of fun things/surprises planned for them as they transition into their new surroundings.

Tom, how’s that capitalism working for you right now? The banks get “bailed out” while the working men and women get p*ssed on by their bourgeois masters.
WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!!! You have nothing to lose but your chains.

Hey Jake,
Since when does one refer to a 7 year old as a tween?

That’s pretty cool. I’m no Obama fan, but I can’t imagine how positively surreal it must be for his family to be living in the White House. As someone who has moved an awful lot due to my husbands military career, I can relate to going to a new city and new house. Only, we didn’t have the Jonas brothers showing up for our girls, 24 hour room service or a media that wants to know every detail!

That is a great thing to do for this little girls. I did not vote for Obama, but I respect the office and the tasks of running the country and being a daddy will not be easy. I hope they enjoy all the perks of being the President’s daughters. Nice touch by the white House to have these things ready for them on day one.

I’ll tell you what happens when you try to run America like you would a plantation….revolt. So you should be happy there is someone who is thinking about the poor before they come climbing through your window to TAKE what you have by force. You don’t have enough bullets to keep out a starving nation. You people are arrogant fools. and you sound a bit racist…but who cares. Simmer in your own juices.

The Jonas Brothers wear Purity Rings and believe in abstinence. I hope these little girls will always have heroes like these guys, who were made fun of at a Music Awards Show by the host (Russell Brand) because of their abstinence belief. Of course, Brand is a former admitted Sex Addict, so what can you expect from him?

Pattobay,
Starving poor? Have you seen how fat the poor people are in America? Hardly starving my friend. Hardly starving. And, yes, I do have enough bullets. Let them come!

So much for the Obama’s shielding their daughters from the press. I’ve seen these kids on more magazine covers than Brittney, Angelina and Demi Moore combined. Will it be front page news when Malia starts her period? Inquiring minds want to know.

What a joke liberals are. They act like babies and deface monuments and disrespect the office of President. But the moment anyone questions anything being done that they support then you are racist or worse.
One other thing I noticed is you never see liberals take responsibility for anything. Of course Barney Frank and Chris Dodd had nothing to do with any of the economic issues we now face.
The other thing I will say is President Obama is going to give an address on ethics today. Wonder how that will affect the Clinton Foundation and the other democratic hacks who raided Fannie and Freddie Mac.

I think its a wonderful time for America. God Bless those 2 beautiful girls and keep them safe from the media!
I only wish that Obama was more thankful and appreciated how far this country has come. His speech was flat and empty. Our family watched and waited for an exceptional speech about life in American. How America has grown as a nation. How Martin Luther King had a dream that finally came true. How democracy is a blessing and takes time. Freedom doesn’t happen overnight. Its in America that dreams come true. Its in America that there is no room for excuses and through hard work and personal responsibility that you can be anything you want to be.
People can and will knock George W. Bush, which is a shame. Since the 9-11 attacks… he has promised and fufilled the promise to keep us all safe from another terrorist attack. Thank you “W”!
As far as the financial crisis, blame and sarcasm from the media is in the wrong place. PEOPLE created this financial mess! PEOPLE did not pay there bills. PEOPLE overextended themselves with outrageous charges to their credit cards. PEOPLE refuse to accept responsibility for buying things they KNEW they could never afford. PEOPLE were greedy and lliving above their means. It was the American PEOPLE , not the President, that created this financial monster. Until American’s that failed to fulfill their obligations of the credit they received accept responsibility and STOP LOOKING FOR BAILOUTS…. America will not survive this. We cannot and should not throw more money to people that have no intentions on paying their bills.
America needs to MOVE ON… forward… we need to suck it up.. face the losses.. and DEAL WITH THE DEBT.
Making false hopes, dumping money into a black hole, allowing people to keep a home they never should have had in the first place is INSANE!
You.. an American that has been living a lie… YOU are responsible… stand up and stop blaming everyone else.
Our government must STOP allowing tax write offs for bad debt. Our government must STOP making excuses for excessive spending. Our government must acknowledge that it too… failed to monitor and control the amount of credit issued by banks.
This will not be solved overnight. Obama is not going to wave a magic wand and all of your bills will disappear. YOU can do something for your country. PAY YOUR BILLS. Stop spending money you don’t have. Cut up your credit cards NOW! If you don’t have the money saved.. you can’t afford it… deal with it. Get a second job, a third job do what you have to do… stop feeling sorry for yourself. Minimum wages will pay bills too… you have to start somewhere! We as a nation have to start somewhere.
Today is the beginning of a new America… we’ve come a long way from slavery… lets not become slaves of our government. Concentrate on freedom from debt… and America will be a better place.

I can’t believe all the uptight people who posted here. Chill out and lighten up.

Hey Dana, this isn’t a “plantation” nation. Everyone has an oppurtunity to work and succeed in America. The problem is that some of those that you refer to as the “poor” have chosen to sponge off of those of us that work for a living. Those that have chosen to make welfare a way of life for themselves deserve no pity. Oh, and another thing, you don’t know how many bullets I and my friends have (big grin).

saying this is “neat” story. wow, that’s almost as eloquent as ” awesome”. WHO cares!. Because Idon’t care about the socialist Obama’s does’t make me a hater. NOT drinking Kool Aid doesn’t mean we’re haters. Get over that. I see barry is sporting a flag pin? well well, why now? wouldn’t do that during the campaign. We don’t care about the Obama kids. That’s nice they had a party. BUT WE’RE NOT ON AN OBAMA WATCH FOR 48 MONTHS. jeesh

It’s amazing how people refer to Bush by keeping us safe after 9/11. What about before. The worst terrorist attack in American history happened on his watch. I’m so glad that he’s gone. It was an eight year nightmare for America. Obama has a huge task before him but 70% of the country likes him. So for all you hate mongers (30% of you) get over yourself. It’s over.

Deana- it’s nice to see a conservative not attempt to trash 2 little girls! As for People Mag and others, they did grant 2 or 3 interviews. Why not the same knuckle rapping for the McCains who were on Peoples cover or the Palins? Just asking! Also, the Palin children were never targeted. One was pregnant, questions would be asked. I can only imagine the conservatives response if it had been one of the Obama girls! Double standards are the norm with some of them. That being said, GWB wasn’t trashed until he started making decisions that put profit of friends and the rich first and not the country! Not sure what your concerns about this Presidency are considering I see the Republicans falling over themselves to say they are in talks with the new Pres, and what the Democrats are proposing is and I quote “Oh, my god!” (bailout) in case you didn’t follow the news.

Attention: Obama hasnt done ANYTHING yet. your Obama-maniacs are so blinded by ignorance and hate for Bush that the truth and guilt being suppressed is astonishing. Bush was friends with Saudi’s and the conspiracy theories starting rolling. Obama has more crooked friends than a Soprano yet there is no problem with that. I personally like the man, but the love-fest and lack of inquisition regarding his scandalous past is pretty pathetic.

Susan – you are wrong. Productivity in the US is the highest it has ever been, but salaries have stagnated since Reagan. Deregulation – the mantra of the right – has allowed corruption to soar to the worst it has ever been. That has resulted in the financial mess – not the people. The corrupt ARM loans recommended by Greenspan were junk and a rip off.

From what I remember Bush had more than 50 warnings about 911, and ignored them all. He was vacationing for a month when “OBL determined to strike in the US” memo was given to him. What did he do? Should he have called Clinton?

Posted by: Mike | Jan 21, 2009 8:32:26 AM quotes “…I would say that the country is more apt to be hit by terrorists than ever before,…”. How do you figure? We were attacked because our previous Democratic leadership decided to do nothing about the terrorists throughout the world that were looking to destroy us as a nation. So Pres Bush comes along and does something about it and you still whine like a baby. At least he had the guts to do something, unlike Pres Clinton who did nothing after NY was attacked the first time. The only reason we haven’t been attacked again is because of what Pres Bush has done in the years since. Like it or not, he fulfilled his promise to the nation to keep it safe from further terrorist attacks. And as for the economy let us not forget it was the Clinton administration that opened the banks’ floodgates to provide money to those they knew could never repay it. The only fault Bush has in this is that he didn’t repeal it (if he even could have) and force banks back to loaning money only to those who they know can repay it. Selfish Americans have gotten us into the mess , let’s see if those same Americans are willing to sacrifice to get us back to where we once were, or if it’ll be more of the same sense of entitlement.

I suppose that President Clinton is not to blame at all for FORCING Banks to loan money to deadbeats for houses they could not afford?
We have learned…if you can’t save at least 20% to deposit on a new home, car, or purchase… then YOU CAN’T AFFORD IT!
Banks and business have been burned by our government…. no more loans to deadbeats!
End of story!

You guys are adults? Really? This is a light-hearted article, superfluous maybe, but light-hearted nonetheless.
This ineffectual Message-Board-Bickering is silly. Grow up.

Wow. I am far from an Obama fan but I don’t get how a story about these 2 little girls has anything to do with political debate.

To Tom Above:
It is the night of their father’s inauguration. The children of the president are big news. They are adorable.
Get real. You are in for a LONG 4 years with your attitude.

It’s so sad…after 8 years of one of (if not THE) greatest failure of a president this nation will ever see, the right wingers are still angry and whining over any little mention of PRESIDENT Barack Obama. It’s that kind of foolishness and idiocy (i.e. one governor from a far north state) that has decimated your party. Based on the kind of attitudes I see from some of you here, your party will remain decimated for the next 40 years or more.
To Bush’s credit, he did work with the transition gracefully, and for that he should be respected. However, that in no way makes up for the pile of feces large enough to fill the Rose Bowl that he created. You wingnuts can continue to sing his praises all you want. That won’t improve his legacy when the history books are written.

Hopefully for the Obamas, they won’t be shown the same level of courtesy and respect that was shown the Bush family over the last eight years. Hatred, intolerance and bigotry should remain the philosophy of the Democrat party.

I didn’t vote for Obama, but no one should knock his kids.
I think it was really sweet of the Jonas Brithers to visit them! (good PR too =p) and the white house staff did a good job at babysitting. =3

And how much did this PR stunt cost the taxpayers? You know those little dweebs didn’t just show up out of the goodness of their hearts.
It’s (other people’s) money what talks the loudest.

Hmm… it appears that the Obama crew has had a much warmer reception than what George Bush received from the Clintons. I seem to remember that the keyboards were trashed, furniture destroyed, lots of items stolen from the the White House. I am proud that President Bush took the high road and greeted President Obama and his family in a warm and friendly manner. The daughters of Obama are cute children and I hope they have lots of fun while their dad is President. Let them be little kids for as long as they can.

They better enjoy daddy while they can.
Obama 08 / Biden 09

This was very painful to read some of the above post. How did a story about the girls lead to such bitter comments? I am all for free speech and everyone should have their say but choose a better topic to attach them to. I am a mother of a five year old girl, and she has watched us follow this election and knows that this is a big deal to adults. But an article like this makes it a big deal for her. She is learning more about the President and the election at age five then most of us knew before we were able to vote. So please do not use the human interest stories that children can enjoy to share your closed-minded views. You have a million others to choose from.

JOESNOPY
Do you know anything about politics?? The “religious right” loved Sarah Palin and the only reason McCain didn’t lose all 50 states is because the GOP religous right came out to vote for Sarah Palin who is a born again Christian. Get a clue before you post again.

What a wonderful treat for the girls!
pdm etc — you don’t have to be a Democrat to be happy Bush is GONE. Some people are just happy they get their country back. People from ALL backgrounds, not just Obama supporters or Democrats. Keep the partisanship to yourself.
As for the “how Clintons staff left the WH during the transition” — I thought that was pretty much proven to be exaggerated. However, if it is true, I’d rather a few keyboards be trashed then our entire Democracy. Thanks W!

“Lord, in the complex arena of human relations, help us to make choices on the side of LOVE, not hate; on the side of INCLUSION, not exclusion; TOLERANCE, not intolerance.” Rev. Lowery 1-20-09

BOTTOM LINE, MY PRESIDENT, YOUR PRESIDENT, OUR PRESIDENT, BLACK PRESIDENT….OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT. LET HIM DO HIS JOB!!! VERY NICE OF THE BUSH GIRLS TO LEAVE A VERY TOUCHING LETTER TO MALIA AND SASHA. IT WAS ALSO VERY NICE TO SEE HOW GENUINE LAURA BUSH WAS/IS TO THE NEW PRESIDENTIAL FAMILY.

I too am one who voted for Bush both terms, and didn’t vote for Obama but am happy to see Bush gone with a fresh start for our country.
But what a nice surprise that must have been for the girls to end up with their favorites, the Jonas brothers! I’m just loving the fact that these kids are experiencing never-to-forget moments in their young lives!

The Jonas Brothers actually do a ton of stuff for Charity’s (one of them being their own that 10% of their earnings go too as well as Nick bein an embassador for juv. diabetes) I would be VERY suprised it if cost the taxpayers anything…and in fact they have performed/visited there several times during the Bush administration…AND they have met the Obama daughters several times before and consider them friends. Now…playing at the Kids Inauguration Ball, well if other stars such as Beyonce/Miley Cyrus/Jamie Foxx were paid I’m sure they were too, if not they would have followed suit.

Amazing how the Left is ragging on Bush as being one of the worst Presidents ever and yet, if you look at any time line, the economy and the nation as a whole was doing incredibly well before the Dems took control in November 2006. Since that time, the country has slid into the mess we are in now and these same educated idiots are now telling us how to fix the problem they created! This CONGRESS is the worst of all time. Bush may have made some decisions unpopular with many (including myself) but he was upfront, honest and believed in his cause. I for one will miss him greatly. Thank you President George W. Bush for your devotion to our country.

Try the truth -
Your memory of quite a few things is a bit . . . faulty, I’m afraid.
I simply do not think it is appropriate to target the children of political figures. It is base and cruel, regardless of which side it comes from.
And yes, leftists DID target the Palin children. Google Bristol Palin and then come back and explain story after story about whether or not Bristol was the mother of Trig, whether Bristol engaged in underage drinking, whether or not she used birth control, and so on.
Also, you appear to be a reader of People. I confess I don’t subscribe to the magazine but when did the Palin family ever invite People magazine into their home to follow them around and photograph their children? I’m just asking – perhaps it did happen and I didn’t see it.
Now. Please spend a little bit of time reviewing the news stories from 2000 forward. Your claim that President Bush “wasn’t trashed” until he “started making decisions that put profit of friends and the rich first” doesn’t hold water.

Good for the little girls and the Jonas Brothers.
Now for the political part.
Dear fellow posters:
This is a Representative Republic. Our government was never to be and is not a “democracy”. “…and to the Republic for which it stands…”
Read the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to learn more. Your public education teachers no longer teach history worth a darn.

Hey Brooke and all you other closet racists who want to blame the mortgage mess on lending to minorities, explain to me how:
1. ~ 65% of all mortgage foreclosures are on refinances which are not in any way, shape or form associated with the community reinvestment act
2. investment banks (such as Citi Mortgage) could not participate in CRA
3. ARM and interest-only loans are not allowed under CRA programs
Yet you and the other right wingers want to blame Clinton for “FORCING Banks to loan money to deadbeats.” Nobody forced these banks to underwrite the refinance loans to middle and upper-middle class so that they can drive that new Hummer or have new granite countertops. The government didn’t burn these banks their own greed burned them. But what else would you expect from an economy that has completely lost the ability to manufacture value (i.e. turning a $5 piece of steel into a $100 door). Instead the US was led to believe by fantasy-driven, Reaganomic politicians that manufacturing wealth through financial servies was the way to a strong economy. Well guess what when you exclusively deal with paper gains/losses these can evaporate overnight because they have no intrinsic value. What we have witnessed is the result of Reaganomics.

Since Shane wasn’t smart enough to figure out what post he was responding to, I wouldn’t trust him with any bullets.

Susan…………On Bush’s watch we were attacked. Please stop acting as if we weren’t post 9-11 because of something Bush did. He did nothing. The only reason we weren’t again attacked is because the enemy chose not to. Stop giving credit to the undeserved. People want to pat him undeservedly on the back for something he didn’t do while sweeping under the rug Katrina and it makes me sick to my gut. How you’ve choosen what is worthy of hero worship in America while omitting how some who needed protection by that so-called hero makes me sick.

etherspirit,
Tweens does not = 20s!
Tweens are kids between the ages of small children and teens, usually from 9-12. I’m sorry, I coudln’t let that comment go.

Bravo Bozzy…..I work in West Whester Ohio; Butler county; Boehner country, and as right wing, pro business, conservative and Repub as you can get, and I have been floored by the foreclosures of people who before the collapse bitched, ranted, raved, waved the flag and blamed everything wrong in the USA the fault of people who didn’t share the WC Ohio mindset. Ha! It’s been so surreal seeing these half mil homes with signs in the yard. All the gated community dwellers who work for P&G, GE, DHL and the rest having to sell off cars, boats. One couple i know in passing through mutual friends has simply disappered. He was a broker, and they were living large. Poof, phones are turned off, house is dark. Point is, these aren’t minorities. these are the assumed well-heeled. These are people who now we know, were not living within their means, and who are less rare than the news is reporting.

Who are the Jonas Brothers??

teen is between thirTEEN and nineTEEN

Wikipedia: Tween – Preadolescence, the stage between middle childhood and adolescence in human development, generally in the age range of 10 to 12 years of age.

Allie -
Every single morning, the president wakes up and is given the PDB which outlines the newest threats and concerns from an intelligence and defense perspective.
Think about that. Every single day, the president is told about new threats many of which are hard for the CIA, the NSA, and the other intelligence agencies to assess properly because, well, it’s the nature of the beast. Few folks who wish to do us harm send the President a letter and let him know the details of when, where, how, and so forth.
So, I guess in your point of view, President Bush and the folks in his administration and the intelligence agencies were supposed to somehow “know” what those 19 men had in store for us.
That’s fine if that is what your expectations were for President Bush but then it is only fair if we have the same expectations for President Obama.
Personally, Allie, I don’t expect President Obama to divine the tea leaves and figure out beforehand what our enemies want to do to us. It isn’t fair to expect him to do that! I simply want him to further strengthen our military capabilities and our ability to make it as difficult as possible for crazies to come over here and try to kill us.
I pray that what Obama said yesterday about defeating our enemies is a true reflection of what is in his heart. I hope he quickly comes to realize that talk and diplomacy have their places but they are very limited tools and we had better have the ability and willingness to use additional tools when our well-being is at stake.
Deana
P.S. A very small correction: we were attacked a little over seven and 1/2 months into President Bush’s presidency. Not nine. Remember, you start on January 20th of 2001.

Yes indeed. Obama is a Marxist. He has stated plainly that when he was in college he sought out Marxist professors. That certainly gives context to his extreme left-wing leanings.

that takes care of these little boys coming concert and their trickets – these liberals just saved me some money and my wife some time by not having to take kids to their propaganda stop

as a black man with family ties that go back generations in this country and who have suffered oppression of the white man, i can’t stand all the talk of obama being the 1st black president! he is not black, he is mix… and to say he is the first black, is to deny his white history….. and should the rest of those fellow negro brother out there remember, it was his negro daddy who walked out on them and it was the white mother who raised him. It should be, he is the first white president that is part black….

First, Obama is no “Marxist”–the only people who say this are people who know nothing of history or political theory. Ignorant fools, in other words.
Second, Obama IS black because the laws in this country have ALWAYS defined black as a person having ANY black blood; this is why mixed race people were still sold as slaves in the South.

The Jonas Brothers are good guys who were probably contracted by Disney/ABC to go and visit the Obama daughters. They visited President Bush quite often and they liked him alot. Nick Jonas has said that he wants to be president one day and I hope he works towards that goal. The Jonas Brothers are all about their fans and so far they have stayed true to their beliefs about God, family and country.

kekoa – amen, man! I’ve been saying the same thing as a white, woman, conservative, mother. They are denying the man his white heritage. We should be proud that race is no longer an issue! Jo’ Bros – Miley etc if you are asked by the prez, you don’t say no. Sure, i would like to see these privileges bestowed on military families. They deserve it and so much more!

Christopher says: “Yes indeed. Obama is a Marxist. He has stated plainly that when he was in college he sought out Marxist professors. That certainly gives context to his extreme left-wing leanings”.
I don’t have any problem with this, does anyone else…? : )

“Tweens” is not a word!!

Billy Sullivan
I come from the religious right church
so I know alot of about the right. Some did not like. The image was not right.

What a crock of mess this all is. If he wasn’t in the spot light most of you wouldn’t care if his white heritage was embraced or not. All that you would see is a black man. BUT now all of a sudden, in an effort to tear down a victory and success that is well deserved, you go fishing for whatever you can grasp a hold to. Give me a break and grow up. This nation is moving on and growing into bigger and better times. White, Black, Asian, whatever the race we all bleed the same blood, have the same problems and want a good quality life.

Pres. Obama run as a candidate of all Americans, he purposedly avoided the stereotypes and labels. Moreover, he was elected by a strong coalition of Americans of all races and colors. However, the media has created this show in which mostly African-Americans are shown and Oprah, Beyonce,Spike Lee, Denzel Washington etc, etc are all over and quite frankly it has been a bit annoying. What I mean is they are showing only one side of the coin, leaving out all the millions of non-black Americans who have also made history and have been kind of left aside.I feel that sometimes it was too much for Pres. Obama himself and he would have prefered a more balanced celebration and btw I am pretty sure he and his kids were very happy with the J. brothers.

Wow, after reading all of these negative comments I really bad for you. What a New Day, what a new America, unless you have walked a mile in someone else’s shoes please do not judge, embrace our new President and first family. We are truly blessed to have such intellegent Leadership and direction, isn’t that enough…get over it are you chosing to complain and live in misery for the next four years? I hope not. Talk about how you are going to be a better person, American, help someone else, talk about that. Keep the First Family in prayer because they are going to need it. Liberals, Conservatives, Republicans, Democrates, these are all titles aren’t we all human

oops, drew said that, not bobby b

Gosh! I thought this article was about the two young ladies getting to meet the Jonas Brothers. Why all the B.S. in the comments??? Leave politics out of this. There is plenty of time to agree or disagree with Mr. Obama’s programs.

I personally think the only think African American about Obama is his wife. His mother was WHITE, he was raised by a WHITE grandmother. So, I wish everyone would stop saying he is the first African American president. He is just another WHITE president, and we will see if his policies really help all the African Americans who were dis-allusioned into voting for this guy. So, now is time to stop giving great speeches, and now he has to actually do something!!

Obama is not technically president. He never said the oath as it appears according to the law of the land. Albeit a mistake of a word or two on the part of the Chief Justice, it remains a fact that Obama never took the correct and requisite oath that he is supposed to take.
Actually, the law of the land confirms the president at noon on inauguration day. the biblical thing is there just to appease the christian believers.

You know what they say about ‘always a critic’ These are people who never have anything good to say (or do) because they are too busy criticizing people who are successful. Give me a break- I’d be really curious to know if George Bush and his Daughters were targets for your venom? Or are you just mindless pessimists? Just shut up and enjoy the ride- everyone else doing the work and making our world a better place while you kick back and judge.

Obama is African American. His father was African (Kenya). His mother was American (Kansas). His paternal grandparents African arabs ancestry. He is a true African American. Black Americans need to stop calling themselves African American. They are Americans.
Obama is a grown man. If he prefers to be called African American so be it. Tiger Woods chose not to be called African American. To each his own. They are happy with their identity

I am about sick of all of this name throwing, calling bull crap. Ex- President Bush is blamed for everything that can go wrong in your life. That is crock. Blame Lousiana for Katrina, they were there and forewarned should have done something, oh but Bush being in Washington was suppose to do it. What about Congress, shouldn’t they have done something. 911 well Clinton had Osama in hand and let him go, but that was Bush’s fault to. I tell you all to grow up and do something about your life yourself, the problem with American is we have to many freeloaders that take and never give anything back but lips. Clinton didn’t balance the budget the Republican Congress did, everyone of you give the Presidents to much damn credit, or to much blame. The judicial system is divided into 3 parts so one person won’t be in total control of the country.
Obama, you act like he is Jesus on the second coming, he is just a man, who hopefully will do what he said, but like all politicians was probably all talk and no action.
No we have not been living in a socialistic country, then we would be like Venezuela or Cuba. NOT, get your facts straight before responding. I personally respect Bush, He held his head high, kept our country safe, and the next time a hurricane comes to Louisana why don’t you go there and get them out yourselves since their own state can’t do it.

Kelly,
You should be aware that the Constitution does require that the oath be administered. Obama did become President at Noon on January 20 but was without authority until the oath was given.

Yea, he has already done soooo much good. Tomorrow he signs papers to use U.S. dollars to fund worldwide abortions. Real story, you can find it on some news websites. There is a real good use of money that our country doesn’t have in the first place.

President Obama has a tough job ahead of him: trying to repair the nation’s economy, as well as to attempt to repair our status in the world, deal with the war in Iraq and the conflict in the Middle East. And none of these will be resolved overnight! His inauguration was uplifting to many people, who saw it as a “vacation day from everyday troubles”. I am also glad that his daughters were able to enjoy the day, as well. May God bless him, his family and his administration.

“Yea, he has already done soooo much good. Tomorrow he signs papers to use U.S. dollars to fund worldwide abortions.”
This is the by-product of using govt money to fund abstinence-only education programs.

Bertie -
“I dont see why thats true. Could’nt you get a loan and then get into a position where you refinanced?”
There’s no govt program forcing the banks to refinance into more risky loans. That’s why it’s true.
“And on the flip side why are 35% of the foreclosures not a problem?”
Actually, CRA-associated foreclosures account for ~15% all foreclosures. You have to remember that these CRA-associated loans are for low-value housing. Contrary to republican spin, there still were income requirements for these loans. So actually, 85% of this crisis is directly due to GREED on the side of the banks. I bet you didn’t know that the vast majority of people who took out the ARM and interest-only loans that are now foreclosing (remember CRA does not allow these loans) actually qualified for fixed-rate mortgages and were never told that they did. It’s called disception bordering on fraud all to increase profits. These loans brought increased fees into brokers.

in the video he says “George’s daughters”. really?!? Really?!?

Let’s try to work together to move the country forward. Let us just for once concentrate not on our differences but what we can do to heal the nation’s problems. Our problems are so serious that a moment of energy wasted on incriminations is a moment too much. Let us please raise the level of civility in this nation. Say what you have to say without resorting to name calling or foul language. Use your time to write a well considered letter to the editor or to a legislator rather than expend it on unsubstantiated rants (and that happens on both sides of the political fence). Let’s all make a greater effort to model integrity and honesty for our children. Let’s make an effort to sew seeds of kindness instead of divisiveness. Transformation of this nation and this world does begin with each one of us.

so when did we start calling little girls ages 10 and 7 tweens????? my goodness they are babies………..

Adorable girls. Just a question, why aren’t there any young, black christian male bands?
Something for young black girls?

Why didnt they talk about the joe bros in the video?

Come on…. the girls are 7 and 11 they are children not TWEENS and what little girl that age is not in love with the Jonas Bros.

Way to go Jake… lots of plugs for mother corp. properties. Keep up the good work.

Good idea to teach the girls respect for the White House. Times are hard now, but then thinking back they were hard for Bush as well. 9/11 and Katrina were big events for his administration to deal with and tweak the necessary responses. However, the MSM beat him down just like they did McCain, Palin and even Hillary to get Obama elected. Hopefully all their effort will prove to be a good thing for America and Obama will be up to the job for ALL Americans.

hey, that’s great. They got to meet the Jonas brothers. Hey, Reba, Be very proud of your indian / native heritage. I am. If it wern’t for the native americans, the earliest settlers would have died.
One day We’ll have a first people preisident.

I am black and my kids LOVE the Jonas Bros as well as me. So that’s not true that black kids don’t like them. Grow up. Our kids are not racist like many of you were and are. And todays generation consider tweens to be ages 8-12. It’s the time before you become a teenager. Before yall make dumd comments research them first to be sure you don’t look like a doofus. Most of you sound like tweens yourselves. Grow up and get your own lives.

awww those girls are soooo lucky

To everyone who still discrimanates, GET A LIFE! We have our President and the First Family and they should be able to do whatever they want to do with their personal lives! I think it is great that Malia and Sasha got to meet the Jonas Brothers! After all, they are our first family girls! :)
