| In an interview with student journalists, Michelle Obama used the word “normal” again and again last Friday in reference to her children. “I want them to be normal kids, just like you guys, polite and respectful and kind,” she said, according to 12-year-old Maggie McDow of Bexley, Ohio, who was reporting for Highlights Magazine. “I’m winning,” the first lady declared of her battle to give her children something resembling regular American girlhoods.

Comments: Nothing against these nice girls at all. But the coverage just keeps getting more nauseating by the minute.

OP is right. Everything about Obama and his family is venerated as if the media has been hired to do it. They are even praised for appearing ordinary on some occasion.
This presents an interesting question. If you dissent you must hate them. And be racist. But it is entirely possible that you just think the fawning media is being silly.
For the first time in American life we are seeing the power of relentless and nearly unchallenged propaganda. With the methods perfected by advertising and brilliantly adopted to serve dictators such as Hitler who - don´t forget - was elected.
Now we seem destined to a Louis XIV reign of unlimited personal personal power, praise, and lavish spectacle. While all but an elite live on biscuits ala Soylent Green.
I wonder when the public schools will begin to order a daily oath of loyalty to Obama from every child.

One wonders if the girls have realized yet that their father is a very bad man who does nothing but lie to the nation he hates and is intentionally crippling, and that by doing so he brings shame to his office and danger to the people he so dishonestly vowed to protect and defend. And that their mother is complicit in this massive, malevolent fraud. They seem like reasonably bright girls, so at some point they must realize all this.

Obama won´t let anybody near his daughters but for other people daughters,he loves the idea of "hook ups" and "friends with benefits". If you don´t believe it check out the surge in abortions and std transmissions since Obama took over. You won´t see him preaching abstinence to young girls,not when they´re potential safety net career occupiers.

#4, in the song from South Pacific, you have to be taught to hate and fear, you have to be carefully taught.
With those parents, what do you think they´re learning?

Another big wet kiss from Jodi to the O family. #8 is absolutely right. Just watch the Grump Sisters in public. They don´t smile; they just glare from under their eyebrows...until yesterday and I think I saw a couple of smiles...similar to the ones on the Christmas card a year ago. They absolutely hate the people paying for their grand lifestyle and wondrful vacations.

One doesn´t need to be a body language expert to read the indifference with which both the mother and daughters treated Grandma Robinson as they were walking into the viewing stand. I was struck at how they paid absolutely no attention to her . . . leaving her to trail behind them like the help. Of course O swaggered in front, paying no attention to his wife who followed behind, while she paid no attention to the girls behind her and then along came Grandma. She could have disappeared and none of them would have noticed. Can only imagine what the dynamics are like at ´home.´
And O could hardly miss a beat with that childish, distasteful gum chomping. Further evidence of his total disdain for US.
And, one more thing. If M wants her girls to be "polite and respectful and kind," she might want to try it herself.

A White Plains home on handgun permit database burglarized. Officials say the target of the burglary was the homeowner´s gun case. Police are trying to determine if the break-in was a result of the homeowner´s name and address being published by the Journal News last month, along with thousands of other registered gun owners.

In this hilltop suburb of Salt Lake City, where a vista of white spires signals a concentration of Mormons and their churches, it is a given that every boy will become a Cub Scout at 8 and then a Boy Scout at 11. With mutual exaltation of God and country and a shared aim of nurturing “morally straight” men with leadership skills and a service ethic, the Mormons and the Boy Scouts seem made for each other, as entwined as a square knot.

The private equity giants Blackstone Group and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts are longtime rivals that compete for multibillion-dollar deals. But during last decade’s buyout boom, according to newly released e-mails in a civil lawsuit accusing them of collusion, the two firms appeared to be on much cozier terms. In September 2006, for instance, Blackstone and K.K.R. were both circling the technology giant Freescale Semiconductor. After a Blackstone group outbid a K.K.R. consortium to buy Freescale for nearly $18 billion, Hamilton E. James, the president of Blackstone, e-mailed his colleagues

For the first time since researchers began tracking the religious identity of Americans, fewer than half said they were Protestants, a steep decline from 40 years ago when Protestant churches claimed the loyalty of more than two-thirds of the population. A new study released on Tuesday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that it was not just liberal mainline Protestants, like Methodists or Episcopalians, who abandoned their faith, but also more conservative evangelical and “born again” Protestants.

The tale of Asimco Technologies, an auto parts manufacturer whose plants dot eastern China, would seem to underscore Mitt Romney’s campaign-trail complaint that China’s manufacturing juggernaut is costing America jobs. Nine years ago, the company bought two camshaft factories that employed about 500 people in Michigan. By 2007 both were shut down.

Two days before the first presidential debate, a new national survey indicates a very close contest between President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the race for the White House. And according to a CNN/ORC International poll, neither candidate appears to have an edge on the economy, which remains the top issue on the minds of Americans and which may dominate Wednesday night's debate on domestic issues in Denver.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

"I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ...

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
