Father’s Day for the Obama Girls

I am just glad we have3 such a good role model in the white house.

You appear to be the only person in traditional big media who does any actual reporting. Thank you.

An iranian father is cradling the bloody dead body of his daughter on the bloody streets of Tehran and our wonderful FIRST FATHER is giggling with his daughters over ice cream!!! The irony is even more compelling given that THE ONE can hardly share his voice with the crying voices of the youth in Iran.
I AM DISGUSTED AND EMBARRASSED BY THIS CLOWN IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

Well, thank goodness are President isn’t just sitting around worried about an ongoing revolution in Iran, and all those young people being murdered by government thugs, I’m sure he needs to relax. I’m sure that he’s just waiting for whoever the winner is to emerge so he can start those negotiations.

T:
“who are so blind to complexities and loyalties”
I see what you did there. Do you?

How’s the family dog? How’s Michelle’s garden going? How’s your jump shot? Keep up the hard hitting questions. It’s like our President and his family have become Father Knows Best in reality tv.

Better enjoy ice cream while you can. When Obama is done burying us in debt, tearing up contracts, and apologizing for America, he will outlaw cows due to their excessive methane. Of course, he and Al Gore will still get to have their ice cream.

Geez people, some of you are being downright ridiculous. The man had ice cream with his kids, get off his case.

Lord what next, what is happening to the media in the USA, from swatting a fly, bo the dog, Obama going for ice cream, are you people serious in the media?
Is this news? Please stop this nonsense now it is getting ridiculous what you guys are putting out there as news, my god has everyone in media in America gone mad?

Happy early father’s day, Jake. Nice to meet you. Thanks for the posts. Hope to see you in the next life. -Mark

People are dying everywhere, Darfur, Myanmar, North Korea, Mexico, and in the US as well. So the President takes 30 minutes to take his girls out for icecream. Well, yes, he has to have the motorcade and security (remember all those crazies who´ve been threatening him), but 30 minutes for a treat for his daughters who are probably also going stir crazy in the White House? Some of you sound like you begrudge him the hours for sleeping. Get a life, folks.

What is it about Obama that has the right so unhinged?
In 2008, y’all were singing “Bomb, Bomb, Iran!”
In 2009, you are worried that Obama doesn’t show enough care for the poor Muslim people in Iran.
There is more to life than trying to cynically score points for your political team.

Do we really need or give a damn about this right now? Cutesy stories about what the pres is doing are not important, especially when there are very serious events taking place.

Jamie Shafer:”Commandant O can be a good father without 12 limos or SUVs escorting him to Alexandria. ”
So nice to see an arm chair expert insult the work of our secret service. I suppose he should take a taxi or something and those idiot secret service guys just don’t know what they’re doing.

t,
One does not have to be a “mindless right-winger” to note the excesses of this particular First Family. We are exposed to their marketed performances, their extravagant comings and goings, and their profuse, imprudent expenditures almost daily.
Rather than appear humbly as the public servant he actually is, the president and his family parade themselves before us regularly like privileged members of a ruling class – on our dime.
My criticism of W.’s junkets to Crawford extended over 7 years , but he, at least, on almost every trip, went home, putting distance between himself and the press. On the other hand, the Obama’s jaunts are out on the town: Chicago, New York, Paris complete with choreographed appearances, detailed, deferential news analysis, and every step photographed.
The Obamas have chosen to lay themselves open as a marketing brand, dependent on a fawning media to cast them in perfect light. Some of us see those images differently.
12 limousines with 2 children in tow for 3 ice cream cones was an indulgent photo op for the Obama brand.

Who cares everyone who has a Dad should be thankful if their Dad is a loving Father and not dead beat. Quit putting him on a pedestal he’s just a man not God.
Good thing it’s Father’s day and not Presidents day, cause then there would be nothing to celebrate.
He’s worse than jimmy carter and is living up to the democrats standards.
He will go down as one of the most worthless Presidents in history. who cares about his personal life, what else destructive is he going to do to our nation next only his democrat cronies know. Stay tuned I’m sure he will let us know.

Obama is the most BS President in our history – if one man has no job, then all men has no jobs.

John, you make it too easy. Let me respond to your clever post piece by piece. (The bits in quotation marks are John’s words.)
“Ha — what a bunch of awful unsubstantiated whining. Is fox news having their blogging force posting in here.” Ah, a less well expressed example of the usual “hey, you Republicans always parrot talking points from (name your poison– Rush, Drudge, Fox News) As a matter of fact, I have spent a large part of my day watching Fox News and CNN alternately to keep up with the situation in Iran, and noted that MSNBC showed canned material rather than report on the turmoil in Iran.
” Bush sat on his hands for 8 years, is responsible for 90% of the deficit and pushed the middle east into such disarray that the whole world hates us.” Breathtaking in its egregious errors and ad hominem nonsense. Sat on his hands? Funny, you are usually fussing about the things he did do, like declare wars on Afghanistan and Iraq, prevent any further terrorist attacks, etc. etc.
Bush increased the deficit 2.5 trillion over 8 years. Obama will increase it by more than that in less than 4. And the crack about “pushing the Middle East into disarray” is so ludicrous I don’t knwow where to begin. As if the Middle East has not been in disarray for hundreds of years. As if Saddam, al Quaeda, Iran, Syria, etc. nothing to do with the problems in the middle east. Wow.
“Obama is clearly smarter, more sensible, and a harder working president.” Not really “clearly,” in my opinion. And certainly not ‘harder working’– yes, he works hard, but not excessively so. He got back from Europe and spent a day golfing. He weekends at Camp David regularly. He has plenty of leisure time– which is not a bad thing. But don’t get high and mighty acting as if he is chained to his desk 7 days a week and Bush was not.
“He went to get ice cream with his daughters.. on fathers day.” Crack. Me. Up. Today is not Father’s Day, you know. Tomorrow is Father’s Day. But maybe the president has a golf game planned for tomorrow or something. He went to get ice cream while the protests in Iran where turning bloody. Bad timing. I try to avoid this line of reasoning, but this is a situation where it is clearly called for— if Bush had done this, we would never have heard the end of it from the press and the democrats. So did the president take the girls home and read “my pet goat” to them?
“The 12 vehicles wasn’t his choice.” I won’t argue with you on this one.

Thank you ABC News for this nice story. Sad to read the comments section with all of the nasty comments from all the haters. What small, miserable people they all are.
Yes, it is truly amazing that wingnuts are now so concerned about the fate of Iran when a year ago they wanted to wipe that country off the face of the earth.
America: love it or leave it!

Politicoli . . ..
“Bush increased the deficit 2.5 trillion over 8 years.”
You should get your facts straight if you’re going to pretend you know what you’re talking about.
The Government of the United States Treasury website lists the debt as follows:
09/30/2000 5,674,178,209,886.86
09/30/2008 10,024,724,896,912.49
That is an increase of approximately $4.5 trillion.
Oh well, you were only off by $2 TRILLION dollars – small change for a Republican overspender pretending to be fiscally responsible.

I read some comment down. Wow, you are so baby.
remember. He still a father. I’m so proud of him.
GOP is so baby as always.

Some of us are happy to see stories like this, we happen to like what our president is doing, and nothing will change our minds-sorry to the haters, get over he is now YOUR president too. Love it or leave it.

Oh how we Illinoisans love our yogurt, and especially on a waffle. Happy to see him have a “few” to spend with his young daughters….. he has alot on his plate……. and I trust him.

Ironray….talk to Paris, tell her John McCain sent you!

Did ABC ever give a dam about Bush and how he spent Father’s Day with his daughters! Let me answer that for all you Obama lovers – NO!

ml you are right. Obama dines in Paris and New York while people the US are suffering. The girls spent the entire day with the Harry Potter kids meanwhile I worked at a shelter passing out meals. The Obamas ARE the status quo. Obama gave little to charity look at their tax returns.Fakes and Poseurs. That is what they are. He is a one term president so he can live it up while he can and Michelle can continue to wear her $520 tennis shoes.

If you speak about President Obama in an ignorant and arrogant way, then you need psychological help.
He’s a Harvard graduate, he’s smart… much smarter than most of us so cut him some slack!
Read his books and then formulate an intelligent comment, or at least try to.
Peace

This story disgusts me. First off, find something better to report about. And second, Obama has no excuse for going to get ice cream while other children in Iran are getting shot in the middle of the street. He has a responsibility just as much as the rest of America does to stand up for freedom wherever it tries to ring out. Obama asked for American fathers to be better. Well I ask Obama to be a father to the world and be responsible. He should have come out on TV, not a paper press release yesterday. His words and actions do not match what is happening in Iran. It is time for Obama and ALL Americans to stand up for freedom and civil liberties around the world. It is OUR responsibility.

Dear Seth – Are you saying that the Obama’s should not be allowed to go get icecream together because people are dying all over the world? He is already willingly giving up a great deal of his life to serve his country, buy you also want to deny him ICE CREAM with HIS daughters! What are you doing and giving up while people are dying across the world. Dang! Cut this family a break that they so rightly deserve!!!
Get a life Seth!!!

The Liberal Press is relentlessly attempting to do a John F. Kennedy “Camelot” number on Obama.
The only problem with their vain attempt, is that Obama is miles and miles away from being the legend who risked his life sand saved his crew on PT109 and who stood up to the Russians in Cuba and didn’t back down.
John F. Kennedy said “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”
Obama says “Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what your country can do for you.”
John F. Kennedy is an American Hero.
Barack Obama is an American socialist wimp.

Ken Tito,
Isn’t it interesting that Fox news(venomously anti Obama) have been leading all the other net works in prime time for a while now etc..and yet they were not able to influence people’s vote against Barack Obama during the last elections? I’ll tell you why!..fox news is comedy central and most Americans love to laugh and have fun..Comedy works all the time in America..”the spin stops here Oreilly” and “Sean the clown Hannity”

Keith, I am a Democrat who did not vote for Obama, nor am I a Christian. However just because a person is a christian does not mean that they can’t disagree with the president. If you are a liberal, you are a narrow minded one which is NOT liberalism. Just like the many liberals that called anyone against Obama a racist.
Michelle Obama’s tennis shoes were from Lanvin and cost $525. Is that christian?

Fantastic.
And Tony Hawk gets to skateboard through the White House.
Maybe next Obama will let Hell’s Angels ride their Harley’s down the White House halls next.
It’s really good to see Obama comletely destroy the dignity of the Presidency.

When the going gets tough, the tough go for ice cream.

Look, even the Liberal New York Times mentioned it:
“Mr. Obama is coming under increased pressure from Republicans and other conservatives who say he should take a more visible stance in support of the protesters.”
Yes, that is from the New York Times.
Even they conceded it!!!
Now that Obama finally took a stance, this reporter failed to mention the reason why and is giving readers the impression that Obama heroically came forth on his own to take a stance.
Can any Liberals counter this with facts?
I guess not.

“Ironray….talk to Paris, tell her John McCain sent you!
Posted by: tychisum ”
Notice how the liberals can only resort to ad hominem attacks. It’s because they are bereft of any knowledge to refute or answer claims that go against their god Obama.

Well Lynn, you notice that in the entire United States, not one Liberal has come forth with any facts to respond to my question.
The moral of this story is that if you want to silence a Liberal, just task them with presenting you with facts!
Silence is golden sometimes!
As intelligent as the Liberals believe themselves to be; not one of them has come forth to respond to my question, as to why this reporter failed to mention that Obama was pressured by the top Republican leadership to take a firm stance on freedom in Iran, with any “facts”.
Well, that being the case, I am going to give them five additional minutes to put some facts on the table, regarding this biased reporting and then I am going to sign off and take my dog to the dog park!
It’s a beautiful morning in Southern California and I’ve wasted enough of it already and my dog is giving me “the look” right now!

liam: “Why not save the taxpayers the expense of a cavalcade of twelve vehicles, as well as the personnel necessary to man them, and have an ice cream party at home,”
He is President, not a king cloistered away in a castle. He SHOULD be going out among the people who elected him and empower him, not be shuttled back and forth in isolation from one exclusive retreat to another as the past President preferred.

To jhw539,
You missed my point.
My point is that the author of the Obama Iran article failed to include the “fact” that the reason that Obama made his statement, was that he was pressured by the Republican leadership to take a firm stance on freedom in Iran.
The author of the Obama Iran article on this ABC website eludes from that fact and attempts to disillusion readers, by giving them the impression that Obama heroically came forth and decided to make this statement on his own accord.
The fact of the matter is that he did not.
Look, even the Liberal New York Times mentioned it:
“Mr. Obama is coming under increased pressure from Republicans and other conservatives who say he should take a more visible stance in support of the protesters.”
Even the most Liberal news publication in America conceded this!
You gave a great attempt to twist my specific question; my question being why the author of the Obama Iran article failed to include the “fact”, that the reason that Obama made his statement, was that he was pressured by the Republican leadership to take a firm stance on freedom in Iran.
Nice try.
It didn’t work.
Keep on twisting the night away!

To talmag:
First off,why do you play the race card and mention that Obama is the first “Black” President?
Obama is a “person” and the fact of the matter is that he is 50% Caucasian, if you insist on playing the race card.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to analyze what is occurring in Iran.
It doesn’t take take days of pondering to figure it out.
Obama was sitting on the fence and wasn’t coming forth with a public statement, in support of freedom in Iran and condemning the oppression that is occurring there at this moment.
It doesn’t take a real smart sharp guy days to conclude this!
Come on now, give me a break!
It is apparent as the Sun rising in the morning!
The Republicans pressured Obama to make a public statement and he finally gave in.
This is fact.
Just Google “Obama pressured into taking a stance on Iraq” and you will see a multitude of articles appear on the subject.
Even the New York Times reported this and frankly, I’m surprised that this ultra Liberal Publication did report it!
I can only conclude that they reported it, because their newspaper sales have been floundering and they are realizing that they need to report the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth in order to survive as a newspaper.
Only ABC News omitted the fact that Obama was pressured into making a public statement, in support of freedom in Iraq.

Correction to my last comment!
Only ABC News omitted the fact that Obama was pressured into making a public statement, in support of freedom in Iraq.
and
Just Google “Obama pressured into taking a stance on Iraq” and you will see a multitude of articles appear on the subject.
Should have read:
Only ABC News omitted the fact that Obama was pressured into making a public statement, in support of freedom in “Iran”.
Just Google “Obama pressured into taking a stance on “Iran” ” and you will see a multitude of articles appear on the subject.

The 23% of Americans who LOVE Bush and think he did an awesome job are the same 23% of Americans who absolutely HATE Obama.
They hate that he eats ice cream. They hate that he “thinks”. They hate that he uses a teleprompter. They hate his foreign policy.
But first and foremost, they hate the man. Even when he does similar things to Bush. They hate him because he doesn’t have an R next to his name.

“Obama pressured into taking a stance on Iran”
This part of the statement is obvious Ken. There has been a lot of pressure for him to take a more forceful stance, but if anything he has resisted the pressure. However I don’t see any hard evidence other than opinion that the actual stance that Obama decided to take or the timing of when he decided to take it was influenced by anyone else but his administration, regardless of the number of articles one can find regarding the subject on Google.

T wrote: “It is clear that the Iranians see the President as a symbol of hope and reject the interference and self-interested proclamations of “support” of many Republicans in Congress and their lemmings, who are so blind to complexities and loyalties and the different cultural understandings of the world beyond their own world view.” “…and that the Republicans can no longer endanger the security interests of the United States by their ignorance of world cultures and damaging bravado.”
Did it ever occur to you that maybe the Iranian people are revolting because they see Democracy evolving in Iraq and Afghanistan? And they like what they see? And they want the freedoms that Democracy will provide them? You can “blame” that on Bush as well!!

To Blip :
I dont like what Obama does not because he is a democrate ( i have voted democrate before) but because he does alot of double talk. He promises one thing and delivers another. He is very good at figuring out what people want to hear and says it yet he does something totally different. I am against total control of the government and all the free spending that is happening. I am against pork spending which is exactly what the stimulus package is. I am against increase taxes. As far as going out for Ice cream with his family that is not news that is pubicity stunt only.This is not news.

Anne Lieberman:”Who pays for the motorcade? Did all the taxpayers chip in, without being asked or even told,”
Without being asked or told? What nonsense. The security and transportation package for the leader of the free world is well known and has full bipartisan approval (and for travel is less generous than most CEO’s of even moderate sized companies).

As usual, the haters here got nuthin’ so they’re, as usual, ranting on about “what did that cost the taxpayers?” about things EVERY president has done, and will continue to do. (Are y’all asking if it was the taxpayer that paid for Abraham and Mary Lincolns tickets to the Ford Theater the night he was shot?)
We do not ask our presidents (thank goodness) to abandon their families for the time they are in office. Why on earth would “liam” insist that Malia and Shasha never leave the White House or Camp David, other than to attend school, for at least the next four years of their young lives? I’m quite sure he wouldn’t expect his own children to be prisoners in their own home for four years. They don’t deserve to ever go out and get ice cream with their dad?
One of the things Obama promised us was greater transparency in the presidency, as well as greater access from “grass roots” … which means the common people. If he wants to know what the average person thinks, does he do it by shutting himself up in the White House and asking his advisers to tell him? Or does he do it by making a lunch run for people in his office, and taking his children out for frozen yogurt on a Saturday, and then talking to the people he meets while out and about?
Why on earth do you people think he was so reluctant to give up his Blackberry? He didn’t want to give up one of his few links to reality. He didn’t want to just sit there in the White House, only being told what a bunch of “yes men” wanted him to hear.
And I’m sorry you guys, but Michelle, Malia and Shasha have a right to have some sort of lives while their husband/father is president as well. Michelle married a financially successful man with a white-collar job, and she has a right to expect a few dinners out and plays/concerts, etc. while he’s in office. Malia and Shasha have a right to do the same kind of things with their Dad, every once in a while, that other daughters can do.
If you all stop to think about it, Michelle, Malia and Shasha are giving up A LOT in order for their husband/father to serve as the President of the United States. So why in the world you haters out there think you have any right to whine and complain every time the man does anything with his family is far beyond me.

jhw539, haven’t you ever seen someone eating chocolate chip mocha ice cream, or a slice of almond lime cheese cake, or a juicy prime rib subway sandwich, and decided that you just had to have one of those? Just because you may have tried something before doesn’t mean that someone’s actions down the road might not cause you to try it again! If that were the case there are hundreds of advertising agencies that would have gone out of business decades ago!

I see: the President is not permitted to take his young daughters out for ice cream on Father’s Day, because children are dying in the Middle East — as though NOT taking his daughters out would have some obvious effect on middle-eastern children.
This is rather like the old, 1950′s and early 60′s claim, “Eat your broccoli, because children are starving in India!” We children back then realized the spurious nature of this claim, so why don’t the liams and whoever still not get it? Are they simply naive and stupid? And did they ever ask themselves whether it was inappropriate for George W to hang out on his Texas ranch while American soldiers were dying in Iraq?
Of course they didn’t.

Oh yes, because Obama should have just left the girls at the frozen yogurt store (the secret service could have seen them home) and immediately gone off to board Air Force One, in order to fly to Iran and take control (personally) of the situation there. No doubt that, within no more than two hours, he could have single-handedly quelled the riots, talked ImADinnerJacket into forfeiting the office, and held a new (personally supervised by him) election in which he, himself, personally counted all the votes (and personally stood guard at all polling places to make sure votes were free and not coerced), and then been home by dinner. All while getting the point across to the Muslim world that the US doesn’t intend to interfere with things that are none of our business so that the hatred against the US doesn’t continue to increase. Right?

Moderate, that was a well thought out post. Thank you.
I’m just a tiny bit curious, though, if you considered the fact that it wasn’t just Mr. Obama and his daughters participating in this. (Unlike a “normal” father-daughter impromptu outing to an ice cream parlor.) There were others’ schedules to take into consideration here, too.
I’m sure this trip was carefully planned at least some time ago, and to have scrapped the plan at the last moment *might* have created much confusion and inconvenience for others?
If you take that into consideration, does that then make any difference in your view?

In response to JHW539: “”He is president, not a king cloistered away….he should be going out among the people….not shuttled back and forth in isolation from one exclusive retreat to another as the past president preferred.”
What ill-informed commentary. Camp David serves as a retreat for the president and his family as well as an extension of the White House. President Bush owned a private property, a ranch, in the same way that President Obama owns a mansion in Chicago. They are homes, not “exclusive retreats.”
The person who is acting more like a “king,” as you describe it, and walking among the hoi-polloi, for whatever reason, as well as being shuttled back and forth to “exclusive retreats,” like Paris, New York and London, appears to be the present occupant of the White House, not his predecessor.

Try the truth, I think you are making my point. The president is keenly aware of the spotlight on him– think of the jokes he made about that at the press dinner the other night, for example. Yes, he gets far more coverage than Merkel or Brown by the press. So he should have known that people would take note of his actions as well as his words on Saturday. Since even a trip to a burger joint with Joe Biden is reported breathlessly and dissected, he had to know a trip this weekend with his two charming daughters would be covered widely, whether he wanted it to be or not.
But I suspect that the press in Europe did ask the press offices of the other leaders what they were doing on Saturday and would have reported any public activities that could be contrasted with the turmoil in Iran, as the president’s ice cream run was. Sarkozy, for example, was at the Paris Air Show, which was important to show support for that industry in the wake of the Air France tragedy of last month.

liam, I loved your comment in response to jhw’s tedious “the president should not be isolated in a retreat” statement. Very well said.
Maybe the president’s fans could revive the notion of the curative power of the “royal touch.” Not that scrofula is making a comeback or anything, but you never know.

Moderate, the reason I said this was NOT a “normal” impromptu father-daughter thing (I think you misread my earlier post regarding that) is because the article states that it was a motorcade consisting of “[t]welve dark vehicles” who “wound thru small side streets to the Del Ray section of Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of Washington.”
First, let me say that I’m really not at all sure why it took a 12-vehicle motorcade to get three people ice-cream. I used to work at SHAPE in Belgium, back when Alexander Haig was SACEUR, and we used to take great glee in attempting (and occasionally succeeding) to get our own cars in between his vehicle and his chase car on the way to work, just because his security detail would get so shook up about it. I also understand that the security detail that travels with the POTUS probably requires more than two men in a chase car. But twelve vehicles plus attendant personnel?
However, if we assume that each of the twelve vehicles in the motorcade had only one person in them (the driver), then that means that canceling at the last minute would have meant schedule interruption and inconvenience for at least 12 people. And I suspect it’s highly unlikely that each vehicle carried only one person. If we assume 2 per vehicle, that means at least 24 people.
While I have no doubt that the owner of the Dairy Godmother was only given a few minutes notice, I think we can safely say that this trip was planned (by the security detail at least) well in advance. It would seem that it would have to have been in order to organize a twelve-vehicle motorcade with attendant personnel. Would you agree?

Jaylah, fascinating response! Thanks!
I love hearing about your days at SHAPE. I have a friend who tells hilarious stories about her college years in Europe, when she used to go bar hopping with Vaclav Havel. I’m afraid I haven’t had such glamorous European adventures as you guys.
I too am puzzled by the need for 12 vehicles. Heightened security because of some threat? And I agree a lot of folks were involved and would have had their plans changed if the president rearranged the schedule (putting off the ice cream caper until Sunday). I guess my feeling is that it is in the nature of the security people’s job to have to rearrange and to be inconvenienced by the whim of whatever VIP one is covering. But you are right– it was not an outing that affected only the First Family. Good point, well argued.

Ooops, typo in my last post. Yes, I do know the difference between Iraq and Iran.

Oops, couldn’t resist visiting Politico before I put the puter to bed for the night, so I could check the pres’s itinerary for the day and see how I missed the news about the barbecue. Surprise, surprise, there was no barbecue today. The only thing on the prez’s public schedule was the golf game.
I think Try the Truth is referring to the Laua that the president is hosting for Congress and their families on THURSDAY. It sounds like a terrific event– it’s usually a picnic and he’s giving it a Hawaiian twist. Very nice– I have no problem with that, but applaud it.
Or maybe you mean the Father’s Day forum held at the White House on FRIDAY, where Tony Hawk skateboarded through the WH and Bobby Flay barbecued. Another great event, but not held on Father’s Day.

WHO CARES??? I AM SO OVER IT NOW, PLEASE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH OF WHAT OBAMA IS DOING , AND I COULD CARE LESS HE IS HAVING ICE CREAM WITH HIS GIRLS, AND NOW WHAT ABC IS DOING IS OVER THE TOP, OBAMA IS IN CAMPAIGN MODE AS USUAL, THAT IS ALL HE DOES, HE STILL HAS NOT STOP CAMPAIGNING , THIS HEALTHCARE TOWNHALL HE IS GOING TO HAVE ON ABC FOR TWO HOURS AND THEN ABC PICKS WHO THEY WANT, PLEASEEEEEE, ANYBODY SMELL A RAT?? I DOUBT IT, THE MAJORITY OF VIEWERS HERE ARE LIBS, ONE REASON I QUIT WATCHING THIS NETWORK, GIBSON IS GOING TO KISS HIS A– AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT, AND THEN WE FIND OUT LINDA DOUGLAS WHO WAS WITH ABC FOR YEARS IS OBAMA’S COMMUNICATION FOR THIS HEALTHCARE, TALK ABOUT NO BIAS HERE. THEN THEY WON’T SELL ANY COMMERCIAL TIME TO THE REPUBLLICANS TO SHOW THE OTHER SIDE, AND I AM NOT EVEN A REPUBLICAN, BUT IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE WE LIVE IN CUBA OR SOME STATE RUN MEDIA COUNTRY, NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS, THIS MAN CONTROLS THE MEDIA AND PRESS AND I VOTED FOR HIM, NOW I AM ONE OF THOSE INDEPENDENTS WITH BUYERS REMORSE, WHAT HE DID TO THE AUTO INDUSTRY GM IS A SIN, NOW THE UNIONS CONTROL IT, YOU LIBS HERE, ARE SO HYPNOTIZED BY HIM AS THE MEDIA IS, ITS SO SAD.YOU BLEIVE ANYTHING HE SAYS.

I don’t know if Obama’s outing with his girls was “staged” or not, but even if it was that doesn’t mean sinister motives were at play. Maybe he used the day/venue to make a statement about quality time with children as a father. Maybe he was making a statement about the importance of fatherhood. After all, he is the President.

hey there mate
great post i love it… check my url you might like it ;)
