‘Party in the U.S.A’ for First Tweens

Good for the girls, I hope they have fun and can enjoy life in the pressure of the White House.
I hope their dad teaches them better financial sense then he is demonstrating with the country’s wallet.

Hmmm … Dumbo isn’t gonna watch the returns; but the queen is taking the brood out the front door.

It’s kind of ironic…”Party in the USA” on election night?
If VA and NJ both turn red, it will be a party. And 2010 will be even better.

I would certainly take my kids to see Hanna M. I’ve seen the “pole dancing” she did during an awards show. It was stage prop (ice cream cart without umbrella) to allow her to get closer to the fans. The pole helped to keep her on the cart! While I didn’t care for her clothing, I thought the performance was fine. What I like most about her is that when she thanks her fans, she also remembers to thank her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What I have been dissapointed in is when Disney edits that part out when they show a short clip of her acceptance speech. As for the first kids – Good for them. BTW, how could any first kid be normal?
/S/Conservative

Best comment of the night comes from Rich…”I hope their dad teaches them better financial sense then he is demonstrating with the country’s wallet.”
Amen!

Thanks goodness someone is covering the important news today. The Republican Health care plan and the elections in three states is so unimportant. At least someone is willing to tells us what the kids are doing tonight. Whew.

I suppose “we” get to pay for this amusement as well as date nights to NYC and Valentine’s day to Chicago and fun family trips to Yellowstone and separate planes to Europe, twice, and motorcades in Africa, and a concert three nights a week…oh and not to forget Air Force One buzzing terrified New Yorkers, now THAT was amusement!

I heard the white house just went in foreclosure. Guess Prez #45 better start watching “Flip this House”. They will need to air out the stench, pull the filthy carpets, repair and paint the walls and remove the dog poop and the foreclusure dog left behind.

That’s a really good idea. I wouldn’t want to be around when the election results come in.

Miley Cyrus? On Election Day? I have lost all respect for Michelle Obama.

Yeah, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce. Totally normal upbringing.

Its amazing that FLOTUS has the audacity to waste the taxpayers money making it facially appear that she’s really concerned about mentoring young girls and yet her inability to champion any substantive issue concerning the American people. Her and “the empty suit” Obama have a duality complex in which they try to appear as if they’re “populists’ and yet both of them are nothing more than a political allegory maximizing their personal financial gain. By the way, I would hope that FLOTUS would at least have the deceny to tell her mentees why her Illinois law license was “revoked” and then she can build a relationship with them based upon “trust”.
In sum, as a conscious Black male in the USA, the “empty suit” Obama represents nothing more than a continuation of G.W. Bush and W.J. Clinton domestic and foreign policies. They only differnce if that he’ll conduct his dastardly deeds while smiling while he’s committing acts agaisnt the “constitution”.

Gee, I guess Bush 43, Carter, Nixon, or JFK ever did any events where there kids enjoyed themselves. Most of the comments I have seen here have a tinge of racism. Can’t wait to help re-elect Obama in 2012.

Wow, if that’s all a “normal” upbringing then what pray tell is an abnormal upbringing? Seriously, no one expects them to have a normal lifestyle so why pretend?

I think you all are reading way to much into this innocent family outing. I take my 6 year old to concerts, frequently, she loves the Jonas Brothers (but she thinks Miley is tacky…I tend to agree…) But what’s the big deal? There are thousands of people at these concerts on schools nights, clearly. Thousands of them are Republicans as well as Democrats so why don’t you retain what little sense and dignity and not hate on every innocuous aspect of this administration.
Personally, I think history will smile on the legacy of the Obama administration. They’re working hard to pull us back from the brink of selfish, consumerist narcissism, ruin and fascism the so-called “conservatives” were leading us into. …We’ll see.

ABC dumpster-diving to avoid talking about the election results. Hey ABC – I may have been born at night but it wasn’t last night. *Click*

Michelle takes her daughters to see Miley Cyrus. But she refuses to lift her little finger to get her husband to reinstate the DC voucher program that enabled thousands of low income predominantly black children have a shot at the same private school education her daughters’ get.

God help us. if you dare to voice outrage over this continual party time. Being Black here in Detroit I can be excused? Absent in any news are the Black men who lost their auto jobs – the Chicago schools closed and then reopened as Charter schools/ with WHITE college grads replacing Black teachers.
So much for the middle class we were able to attain. Vouchers (first week) were canceled for 2,100 (including kids who went to Sidwell)back to the decaying violent D.C. schools. Did you see this on the news? Or the PROTEST of Black parents in front of White House. NO. Michele says that she’s going to take advantage of her husbands time in office for her girls to see the world – (our dime) and for them to be exposed to all kinds of music/ entertainment that’s why EVERY WED night is fun time/ top entertainers invited. A trip to Paris shopping, onto London to see the Lion King, 50,000 estate rented at Marth’a Vineyard – river rafting, -16,000 playground (they never use) – Michele wearing 540.00 sneakers to Soup Kitchen – hiring 26 (so far) aides to help her including full time make up artist – Carbon Footprint – Shared Sacrifice?
One thing about Dr.King – he lived, marched, ate with the people – I was there. Leadership has its responsibilities. We are in a Depression with millions out of work, kids living in cars – garages – shelters – no medical care, millions of foreclosures etc and these people act like they won the lottery. Not one thing so far PROMISED in the campaign has come to fruition. My sons jobs were sent to India.
My youngest daughter’s job was replaced with a Visa holder. With the banks stealing all the money there is NO credit line for small business. Our small grocery store with barber shop is closing at end of month. Thanks for the change. No concerts for my grandbabies.

Winston Churchill once said, although we sent back an semblence of this brilliant man…
Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon.
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile—hoping it will eat him last.
The problems of victory are more agreeable than the problems of defeat, but they are no less difficult.

Who gives a rat’s behind?

Heavily campaigned for by Obama incumbent Govonors of NJ and VA lose to GOP rivals…oh look Obama’s kid went to a Miley Cyrus concert tonight!! Bo the dog stayed home.

“On Inauguration night, while their parents took in 10 balls…”
Heh, fancy that… looks like the Obamas are quite fond of “tea-bagging” themselves! Who knew?

Wow, it’s great to see those wins in VA and NJ! They provide a light at the end of the tunnel; that this clown president will go down in one term. Let’s hope the nation can sustain itself the remaining three years.

Ten sentences, one of which was actually about what happened tonight, with another speculating on what “special treatment” may have been offered. The opening sentence noted that the girls are “staying up late”, though I don’t know if that’s actually the case. The other seven sentences were about things which happened in the past.
Yunji de Nies actually got paid for this?

Mrs. Obama has said she wants to limit her daughters’ exposure to celebrities to ensure they have a “normal” upbringing.
On Inauguration night, while their parents took in 10 balls, the girls went on a scavenger hunt to get to know their new home. Hiding in the East Room of the White House? None other than all three Jonas brothers.
Sounds like a normal upbringing to me.

Just took the daughter to see Hannah Montana I mean Miley Cyrus. Music was fine; her brother’s music and lyrics were inappropriate for kids under 21; Miley’s costuming and graphics were ugly and harsh. All fire and ice and steel; her clothes consisted of short black leather shorts and a black leather camisole. The moves they were having her perform were too suggestive. Re-think this, Billy Ray: people do not like her new look. And where were you, Billy Ray? Us moms were waiting for you to come out and sing!!!Truth!

The Obama family paid the expenses for their children on the European trip.
What you call ‘continual party time’ is actually people knowing how to work hard and enjoy themselves. Life is full of difficulties, but to expect everyone to sit around glumly during hard times is a bit foolish.
—————————————
How do you know who paid the expenses? Did they also pay for their flights, the backup planes, security task force, and everything else that goes along with their decision to have a family outing?
What “hard work has Me-chelle Obama done? Nobody expects them to “sit around glumly”, but I do expect Mr Obama to lead this country, in these hard times. The best way to lead is by example. Jetting around the world, so the girls can see the world, while they have a chance, is not an example that the average American family can afford to follow, right now. The example it sets is that of being arrogant elitist superstars, unwilling to sacrifice that vacation, to stay home and most likely keep working to make that extra check, so the lights stay on, or the kids have food on the table. These people are so far out of touch with the reality facing the voters who sent them there, that it makes the Bush Dynasty seem small time. Most Americans abroad are travelling to exotics foreign lands, meeting interesting local people…and hoping that Mr Obama skips a date night to decide how many reinforcements to send so they don’t get their butts blown off by the locals. They can’t even imagine being a kid elected to the world’s biggest candy store.

What, no celebs and parties at the White House tonight? Party, party, party….that’s all this administration seems to be doing. Oh, and spending our money to no avail.

Erika PW around 3am wrote how she has waited so long to say, “This is America. If you don’t like it….well, leave!”
I think you misunderstand. I love America so much that I’m committed to staying, working and voting! Conservatives are NOT quitters. You’re stuck with us and just have to keep campaigning against us and disparaging our right to speak our minds.
Obama wanted to win the job of “First Black American President” We awarded it to him. He doesn’t appear as eager to perform the job of Leader of the Free World – and that IS the job. I’d like to see him do that job – or he’ll lose it. Just like any employee who disappoints the person or persons who hired them.
This is America. If you don’t like it, vote!

Get over it people. Who could fault teens for doing something among their peers?

Hey, I live in D.C. too and wanted to take my girls to the Miley Cyrus concert. But I couldn’t afford, let alone find tickets to the concert. I thought that the Obamas were all about redistribution of wealth. What’s going on here? Also, I saw pictures from the concert and there were hardly any people of color there. What’s this all about? The Obamas are the most racist and elitist people to ever occupy the White House.

Let me get this straight:
Conservatives are complaining because they took their children to a Miley Cyrus concert, because that money could have gone to something far better like feeding the homeless, etc.? Am I right?
What about Nancy Reagan who spent a fortune on clothing and ‘psychics’? She was married to the King of Conservatives and you never heard ANY Conservative getting upset with Nancy over those things.
You’re all complaining about how you ‘hate’ the Obamas because of their choices, but the same recurring theme keeps showing up: He’s the first black President and we gave him that priviledge.
I’m truly wondering that if he weren’t black and his father wouldn’t have been a Muslim, would any of you be complaining half as much? Do you know how many people I’ve heard say they don’t know what they DON’T like about Obama, but they just don’t like him? It’s racism, pure and simple.
Answer me this: Out of all the liberal candidates that we had out there during the election, WHICH of them would you have rather had in office?

Look, I am no Obama fan by any means, and I’m one of the most conservative people you’ll ever meet, but I can’t fault them for taking their kids to a concert. Should the kids be locked up during their father’s term in office? Now, BHO and Michelle’s date nights I have some issue with, but not with taking these little girls to a Miley Cyrus concert. They are entitled to do some fun things that “normal” kids would be able to do. Leave the girls out of it. There are plenty of things about Obama to gripe about, this isn’t one of them.

I don’t think we should blame the kids for their Dads lack of courage and disasterous economic policies.Just be thankful Barry didn’t take all his Czars to the concert.

First of all, Obama is NOT our first “Black” president. He is our first bi-racial president. His mother was white, & his white grandparents raised him.
Second I would like to address something about Mrs. Obama, it has been said she is like Jacqueline Kennedy in her style.
NO SHE IS NOT anything like Jackie Kennedy! There is NO com-parison, J.Kennedy was a lady of style, & elegance, with a soft spoken voice. Michelle, is brash, loud, & wears glarish clothing.

what no pictures? Who cares then

Amazing all the hate and racism. I’m white, older, middle class, and this Obama guy is the best president in history and their whole family is full of class. As a nation we don’t deserve him. The hate doesn’t surprise me though, read some of the things said about Lincoln at the time.

“The only real problem I have would be that its a weekday(unless for some reason they didnt have school the next day). Best to do these things on the weekend.”
Wow, completely none of your business. I hate Obama and everything he stands for. But my god, let the parents raise their own children. For you to even get on here to voice an opinion on what you think another family should do with their children on a school night is just pathetic. Have you no worries of your own to deal with?? Have you ever heard the saying “Mind Your Own Business”?

Also, I saw pictures from the concert and there were hardly any people of color there. What’s this all about? The Obamas are the most racist and elitist people to ever occupy the White House.
I am as racist as most are sexist but how in the world does the demographics of a concert they attend make them racist? LMAO

Get your facts straight as a reporter first before your hate over-crowds the story. President Obama’s and First Lady Michelle’s children are not twins. Secondly, there is nothing wrong about a parent fulfilling their kids’ healthy wish list. It is sad that ABC has turned out to be like Fox Noise…

Hey Mike -
Sorry, but there was no mistake. Don’t get your shorts in a knot!! The reporter called them “Tweens” not “twins”. Tweens are children are beTWEEN 9 and13 when they then become teens.

Let the kids be…. so what if Mom took them to a concert. It isn’t as if they would never have had a chance to go to a Miley cyrus concert otherwise. It isn’t as if Obamas used the office of the president to exert undue influence over ticketmaster…. geeze! Now if we’re talking about the fact that the parents are socialists with an agenda unlike any other former POTUS, I’m standing on that soapbox with you.

Yankee228, I agree with you 100 percent. I am a black woman in a deep-blue city and I did not vote for Obama. I dare not voice my discontent for him to most of the people, black and white, that I encounter. It’s refreshing to learn tht there are people out there like me.

Leave these kids alone. They should not be commented on even though their parents are both instrumental in the destruction of this great nation.

So Mrs. Obama wants to limit her daughter’s exposure to celebs so they have a more normal upbringing? How many kids find the Jonas Brothers in their living room? How many kids have the Pres. of France open clothing shops up on Sunday, in Paris, just for them? How many kids have tea served by the Queen of England? How many kids get to host Fergie & the Black Eyed Peas at their Easter Egg Hunts? Come ON Mrs. Obama! Your daughters happen to live in the White House. Their father is our leading star, he is the President of the United States. You, are the designated First Lady. Nothing normal about this whole arrangement, and the more you say one thing & do another — the more will come back to haunt you. Let your kids enjoy the situation when they can. It will have it’s drawbacks at times; just as any life does, regardless of selected “lifestyle”.

great caring parents and great president and this from a 78 yr old white lady. yes I liked Nixon too

At what point does Michelle Obama stop indulging herself and her daughters, and start assuming some serious roles?

I’m glad this story was important enough to makes the news…

All of you people are crazy. The Obamas did not put us in the situation we are now in. BUSH did!!! Get a grip!
Again, whatever monies they spend for their children they already HAD!! They were well off before they got into the White House. And if Bush was doing so much while he was in the White House then maybe we wouldn’t be in the situation we’re in now. And what did his wife do that was so GREAT? His daughter was a closet alcoholic, going around lying about her age to get booze. Most of you just can’t stand the fact that a black man and woman are in the White House. Get over yourselves!!

Miley is a sweet Disney star. The president should be happy they saw her. They would have seen her or Hannah ’07 even if he were still in Chicago unelected for anything.

Wow!I think everyone on this board needs to spend more time out in the sun.
~clue

Michelle…….democrats controlled congress the last 3 years of Bush’s presidency…including Obama…..
they make the laws and set the budgets etc.
Wake up …Bush has been gone for nealry a year…..are you better off now than your were in 2004?

I love how the obamas (limousine liberals) have made careers out of bashing rich people, but as soon as they have access to the unlimited tax dollars they appear to be saying “yeeehaa!!”
More golf in 10 months then Bush did in several years.
Halloween parties
Superbowl parties
Date nite new york
Date nite paris
Vacation at martha’s vineyard
the list goes on……….

I wonder if the momma leftist in chief now is proud of her country — she and the Imposter in Chief spend enough money flying around and enjoying themselves…
Come 2010 we will have a Republican house and a Republican Speaker of the house…. time for impeachment !!

RESPONSE:
YOU ARE AN IDIOT PLAIN AND SIMPLE! The sad part is that you are the “bottom of the barrel” idiot because you are one of the few that has taken this long to realize you made a huge mistake. Your BUSH comments are like people wearing 1980′s clothes. To old to be in style, and to new to be cool because its really old. Just plain out of touch. Ignorance is bliss for you.

Awww, yesss…good “wholesome” entertainment for the first children, or any child for that matter.
Wonderful examples these first people are.

You people are talking about Michelle and her daughters as if they are not even humans. How sad you can’t just disagree with the POTUS’ policies. How sad you have to pick on a mother and her children. How very sad indeed!

How much did THAT social field trip cost the taxpayer? The taxpayer who’s struggling to pay the bills, keep a job and put food on the table. The taxpayer who can’t afford to take his kids to a Miley concert, much less pay for a private box to sit in.
Do the obamas have no conscience, no character and no integrity?
What an example to set for their girls, elitist snobs living off of the taxpayers, getting all kinds of perks and special favors.
Give us a break. A tax break.
And no government controlled health care.

They have been doing charity work dummy. If you can’t keep up, don’t comment!

Gee why is everyone still crying racism? If anything it was the whites who put him into the white house!

SERIOUSLY????? why is this news worthy? if it was me going to a concert w/ my mom….no one would give a hoot. why does any one care about this…there is sooooooooo much more important things that ARE news worthy going on. Have we really become this boring?

Just how much have I paid in taxes this so the Obama’s can show their children a good time?
Now that’s Change We Can be Decieved In!

That is good about Miley Cyrus arrives in DC Verizon Center. Its especially my nieces is hearing all about it as well as my nephews !!!!
I like her music too !

Wow, BO was here in Virginia campaigning for Deeds last week and he told a reporter “I love elections” …. so he did not watch on tv? yeah. right.
This President and this administration is going down quickly. Even the BO voters are getting sick of him.

LOL, the reason this is newsworthy is to show the Obamas’ “lack of concern” about last night’s elections and the potential repercussions of them in 2010. Look, we don’t care, we’re just going to a concert and my husband is watching sports … la, la, la … No one believes it, though; everyone knows Obama is sweating and that means his “fashion queen” (ha!) wife of his is too!
I cannot WAIT for 2010!!!

I agree with Honest Abe & Megan. This is family stuff, and it should be hands off no matter what. This should not even be a news story, besides maybe in the review of the concert where they say that Michelle and the kids were spotted at the concert.
How much of it is taxpayer money? Well, the gas to get there and the security detail involved, but that is a given. We can’t expect any President or their family to refrain from leaving the White House for that reason.
But in the grand scale of things, opinions are like noses and everybody has one. I stated mine.

I really, really can’t stand President Obama’s politics or policies. But this as a news story? This has absolutely nothing to do with him. The First Family, should be left alone. Sounds like the kids are doing normal “tween” stuff. So what?

Give the kids a break. They didn’t ask to be living in the White House. But honestly, if I were Sasha or Malia, I definitely would be taking advantage of my connections to meet as many famous people as possible before my dad got kicked out of office.

P.S Anything about Miley is newsworthy.
