Roses and Thorns

What a great American family!! Keep working hard President Obama. The American People have got your back.We are praying incessantly that God protects you and your family and gives you the wisdom to guide the country through these difficult times.

I heard they also play “JUMP OFF THE BRIDGE” how about little Georgie and Charlie play that

Ease up people. There are a lot of important things to think about without slamming everyone that leans a little bit one way or the the other.

That tactic has been done at summer camps since I can remember. Now that the first family is doing it, it’s worth recognition?! Come on!

Children take a while to unwind after school.Usually it will be around dinner when they will tell you if something is bothering them. We made a practice of finding something to be grateful for each night as we said bedtime prayers.Even if the day had gone badly we could think of something to say “Thank You” for.

The President’s sister was the woman with long dark hair that sat with his daughters at the inauguration.

Too bad he can’t do that in his JOB…say something nice then something negative.
A management class that I had said the sandwich method was the best: Say something positive about the problem, something bad, then somethign positive. Sandwiching the negative between positive give you a better change to have things more positive….

I love the racism of the media and many of the Washington insiders. Gee…a black family actually discusses their day with each other! Wow! Amazing! Breaking news! Let’s write an article about this amazing phenomena! Not only is Obama “articulate” or “well spoken” (or in Biden’s thinking “clean”) but a black family can act “just like us”! Amazing!

George this is really too much, even for you. Do you plan to have a daytime talk show similar to Oprah dedicated to the Obamas? You destroyed whatever credibility you had with the news that you “talk” to your friends in the White House EVERY FREAKIN day but this love note is beyond hilarious. You do still consider yourself a journalist?

Ed,
Actually, if more families did sit down at dinner together (not dinner is cooked and people sit around the tv or eat at different time) and talked it would make the First Family just like them. Unfortunately, that does not happen as often as it should.

come on we can’t pick on everything they do…………!!! It is a nice thing for families to chat at dinner. Lets face it he has one heck of a thorn to worry about…………so give them all a break on this one !!
God Bless America, and I am a Republican

They set a wonderful example!

To the poster who called this a “love note,” you couldn’t be more right. George S. should be embarrassed for having called this journalism. Not that this Obama tradition is a bad one, it’s just stomach churning to see the way GS fawned over Team Obama choosing to report on this.
Also, am I the only one who questions the number of times the Obamas have sat for photo shoots that end up on yet ANOTHER magazine cover?? Sheesh, you’d think they were Paris Hilton the way they’ve bought into their own hype on that one…

For some people, life is a bed of roses. A rose bed takes real commitment – just like our government, rose canes need to be cut back and sometimes heavily fed to produce growth. There’s always the risk of thorns, bugs and disease, but the expense and time is worth the reward of fragrant blooms. Then again, for some people, life is a bed of thorns. They don’t believe in fertilizing the plants and let the vines and bugs grow without control. Then they whine and complain when flowers don’t appear and blame it on Democrats. This is a lovely story and a living example of our President’s family. Those of you complaining about it should go clean up your own yard.

One hell of an example for us all!

George, George, George… really… you are not a journalist! Far from it. You’re still spinning and puffing. You haven’t stopped spinning since you left the Clinton administration. We KNOW you have lunch at the White House. We also know you regularly meet with insiders. We know you are one of the chosen ones. Why not leave the menu report to Martha Stewart? You’re having a hard enough time trying to be a credible moderator of your Sunday show. What’s the name of it? I forget. I used to watch it every Sunday.

Is this journalism or a “Slobbering Love Affair”?That’s great that the first family take time to talk over dinner like mnay of the rest of us,but how many stories did we hear about the baskets that the Bush girls left for sasha and malia,and the wonderful example that Laura Bush set?I would like to know why this emergency “Stimulus” bill was railroaded through Congress and signed by the president without being read and discussed,and one week after signed the LARGEST spending in American history,Obama has the audacity to call a summit on fiscal responsibility! What a joke! We all know that the whole purpose was to push his spending bill through,repay all his special interest groups that elected him,and stick all Americans with the bill by raising everyone’s taxes. Keep your ears open,America, because Obama is trying to push through measures that will turn us into a one-party country.Don’t let Rahlm Emmanuel take over the census!

That is, indeed, Michelle Obama in the picture.
I like the Obama family, but I do think that too much attention is being paid to minor issues. We don’t need to know about their dinner-table conversation. When the media focus on these matters, they only encourage the critics to do so as well. I’m sick of seeing the petty, trivial remarks from small-minded people about the mother-in-law, or Mrs. Obama’s clothes, or what restaurant the Obamas chose to dine in. George S.: don’t bother with this “cute” trivia. Instead, tell us about policy; and if you must, tell us about what Mrs. Obama is doing with the Office of the First Lady, but leave the parent/children interactions out of it. They are not relevant. Stick to substantive issues, and we’ll all be happier.

Uh, Deborah: though I feel that we don’t need to know about the Obama’s parent-child dinnertable conversations. I also don’t think that Malia and Sasha Obama are going to be “traumatized” by knowing that their father has a “thorny” job. The Obama children are intelligent and sophisticated; they knew that their father’s jobs as state and U.S. senator were “thorny.”
Moreover, plenty of children know that their parents have difficult jobs, and they may well find this stimulating and fascinating, as I did. Indeed, Mom’s or Dad’s job, however difficult, may postively shape a child’s future. What Mom and Dad do should never be hidden. Hiding and pretending always cause trouble, in the White House and out of it.

Deborah: go to bed or somewhere, perhaps HE__ ___.

The American people have a President that they can be inspired and motivated by… that’s what LEADERSHIP is about.
It’s not to talk about negativity incessantly or to see who can get the most negative news coverage!
We want to copy their lifestyle. As someone said in an earlier blog… a lot of the families do not sit down together at all… nor read to their children… nor show emotions of kindness as the Obamas show regularly to Malia and Sasha. No wonder the kids are so popular… they exude maturity, charm and an easygoing manner that is absolutely fabulous!!!
We Love Our President And The First Family! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Well…this post proves the point…opinions are like a–holes…everyone of us got one…some more stinky than others, but all are cracked…just depends on how ya view the world…LOL
