Michelle Obama’s Oscar
presentation raises questions
about the role of a first lady

Washington Post, by Krissah Thompson

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 2/25/2013 10:49:20 PM

Is this what Michelle Obama looks like untethered to the pressure of a campaign? Is she free to follow her whims without worries about political backlash? The first lady became the buzz of the weekend when she beamed into the Academy Awards from the White House to present the award for best picture with Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson. Attendees and viewers were flabbergasted at the satellite image of the elegantly dressed Obama, flanked by young service members in full regalia, opening the envelope to name Ben Affleck’s “Argo” the winner.

Personally, I think it demeans the position of First Lady to be involved in "pop" culture and their glorified self aggranizing awards, which is all the Oscars really are. But then, Michelle Obama demeans the position of First Lady all the time.

She may be a nice lady, but she is just way too rough on the eyes and ears. Maybe float check the "Cousin It" wig, and do some real and meaningful charity work, away from the boot lick media and the spontaneous adoring crowds.

The Os are celebrities in their own minds. And in the minds of most of their voters it would seem.

Other than laughing how lame the award ceremonies are, (we watch it every year just to make fun of the clown clothes, makeup and speeches), MO topped it off...with her "Moe" hair cut, sans "Curly and Larry", facade Military back drop when clearly our soldiers were agonizing being around her (of whom she detests), and regurgitating the speech of which she has delivered countless times regarding her "Lets Move" campaign to get federal funds for school lunches to teach kids how to eat.

In my opinion, MO, as role of the first unlady...please go on TV and every where else to show how you do not represent any woman with class, confidence and actual earned success.

She has not made any contributions to the motion picture industry, so she cannot become a member of the academy, and has never been awarded an Oscar. All the above are required by the academy (see their website) by way of rule and/or tradition to be a best picture presenter. So she should not have been there. By inviting her, the Hollywood high mucky mucks told the world that the academy is just another liberal Democrat political constituency group.

If Nancy Reagan, while first lady, had been an oscar presenter it would not have bothered me as she is an academy member and therefore a voter. Oh silly me I forgot she´s not a member of the right political party!

She is the first lady. She can do, or say, just about whatever she pleases as long as it is not outright criminal. The little people have no right to say otherwise.

I was not flabbergasted. I was disappointed by the lack of eye candy. If they needed a token black women to present the award, they could´ve used Halle Berry.

She can do what she wants, she´s just a private citizen MARRIED to an officeholder. A "First Lady" like a nickel doesn´t officially exist. It´s a throwback to the time when a woman´s rank was as her husband´s baggage. She needs to be reminded of that hourly apparently. In fact as soon as the first woman entered any of the three branches of government, the whole idea should have been scrapped. Why the heck should a Supreme Court Justice or Speaker of the House take a back seat to some woman with a marriage license? We´ll revisit this when the first married woman is elected President, and it won´t be pretty.
OT:My offense is at this civilian has somehow been allowed to press U.S. military personnel into service in support of a purely commercial venture at the behest of a large political donor. What´s next? Drone strikes on the Weinstein´s neighbor´s yappy dog?

Somehow when she showed up in Grant Park in that ludicrous Black Widow Spider dress, we knew it would come to this.

However, this will not stop her from going for a new low.

I think she and they (the Academy) can do whatever they want, but the chips will fall as they may.

The same was true with the Dixie Chicks. You have to realize that the audience did NOT tune in for politics.

Let´s see how the viewers react next year. I am already turned off by Hollywood, but I did watch for about an hour. Next year, I will probably not watch at all.

After awhile, you do get tired of this stuff. I am very tired of the Obama´s.

In over 200 years, the USA has had but 44 presidents.
The Obamas apparently fail to grasp the significance that being elected as president makes one very special.
Yet, they seem to be constantly begging for our attention in the same way an insecure teenager acts out.
By appearing on commercial TV while rubbing hips with a comedian who is desperate to sell advertising, Mrs. Obama tarnishes what is special about her position as wife of the president.
Same thing goes when she appears (with an extremely small bodice) on a self serving commerical entertainment venue like the Oscars.

It was a very classless act by a buffoonish black woman who thinks she is better than everyone else in America. She didn´t have the decency to even mention or introduce the military members she was using as a prop. Just another example of how there are two sets of rules in America: if you are a conservative, you will be crucified like Christ on a Cross for the smallest of slip-ups and faux paus actions. If you are a liberal Democrat, you get accolades galore and you can get caught with live boys and/or dead girls and it doesn´t make any difference because you will be lionized as a hero for "voting the right way".

What a badly written article. Astonishngly incoherent. You can tell the "reporterette" just can´t bring herself to write a critical article about her hero, Moochelle, being an overexposed publicity hound who is finally starting to generate the disgust of even some of the propaganda reporters in the media that she so richly deserves. If the Post was a real newspaper the author of this article would have been fired on the spot by her editor when she turned in this piece for publication.

Since nothing worthy comes out of Hollywood, I thought it extremely fitting to have the Queen of Wigdom present the best picture. It is an award bestowed upon the work product of a group of individuals whose very existence relies on their ability to portray individuals in situations that confirm their own belief system. They will be worthy of an award when they make an honest film on the life of Mohammed. Until then, it is all just a big dress up party giving out awards to fellow narcissists.

"He usually has a messiah complex. He is very self-centered. He is like a "school bully" who is very unruly. He does not respect the rights of others. He uses mass meetings to intimidate his "scapegoat" and rally people to join his ranks. These mass meetings have much pomp and power displayed in them. It is not uncommon for these mass meetings to have uniformed fully-armed guards around them. They like to display their "power" in a massive parade for all to see. This strikes fear into those who would refuse to get out of his way. He can never get enough. He is obsessed with ruling the whole world."....Howard Wright
Another characteristic of a tyrant: "Invasive, intrusive, and obnoxious."
Not only is Obama a tyrant....Michelle is right there with him. She is unhappy, feels wronged, angry, and she needs a lot of attention.

Thank goodness I was watching 13 episodes of "House of Cards" - a Netflicks series about fictional Congressional Representatives and their egos and a reporter who wants to get the "big dirty" story. Every Congress critter seems to have an ulterior motive for every vote.

At least the zombies in la-la land may be questioning the Mooche´s "invasion". It´s like Neil Armstrong said when he stepped out onto the moon:"That´s one small step for man..."
This may be a watershed moment regarding Michelle and the MSM: "That´s one small question for fawners".

The question is will they take another step or two before 2014 and 2016? A smart reporter would realize that a Pulitzer might be there for asking good questions which reveal things the powerful in DC want covered up.

Is every event in the U.S. a state event? The military had no reason to be there other than a show of force to the subjects. Why does she and her husband push in on non political and pop culture news and occasions?

I could have tolerated (barely) her appearance if she had used the opportunity to emphasize with the servicemembrs standing in the background that two of the best picture nominees show how the US military has contributed to this country; the Union troops who fought, bled and died to save the union (Lincoln) and how the military and its civilian counterparts in the foreign service put their lives at risk stationed oveseas (Argo - okay - bit of a stretch), but instead we get her vacuous comments about how we all can overcome...

Other than The Passion of the Christ, every movie I´ve seen in the theater in the last 12 years has been made in England or New Zealand - Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings.

If enough of us boycott ALL Hollywood productions, maybe they won´t be able to afford to hold the Oscars next year. Maybe they won´t even be able to afford to make movies. That would be a good thing.

To tactlessly exploit members of America’s Military, by using them strictly as window dressing, was the ultimate insult. To not introduce or even acknowledge them was, at best, thoughtless. Along with a host of other awkward, inappropriate behavior, our First Family is also quite tone-deaf.

When I first saw her emerge from the glare of Bollywood glitz and fill the TV Screen, I thought OMG its another Obama Nobel Prize moment only this time it´s a surprise Oscar for Dancing (Hiphop, Gangnam, Booty Pick, etc. )Then she almost ripped off a fingernail and there it was, The Best Picture. A stunning moment as the gold braided military enthusiastically realized that this was the highlight of their career, national exposure..... for service to their country. A new medal will be created by the Obama´s to commemorate this moment. Can anyone out there name this award?

With all due respect to fellow poster #2, much of what the Obama´s know is pop culture, bubblegum royalty and faux issues. So--dating myself greatly--we need more Bess Truman-type first ladies!

From sitting down with late night entertainment show hosts to knee-bending kiss-kiss of Hollywood nobodies, there is a long list of demeaning behavior by the Obamas. Here, she was more properly dressed than when she wore short-shorts getting into and out of the presidential limo.

Michelle Obama Unchained. She just cannot wait until 2016 so she can assume her rightful position as talk show host. Creepy, creepy, creepy. No end in sight. At least it looks like she realizes she could never amount to anything a real attorney would aspire to: Senator? No. Thank God. Sad. Does she even recognize how she proves the point about Affirmative Action? Or does she revel in what it brought her? And she is just nothing more than the wife!

I don´t see why we should get all exercised over this. This sort of thing has become the norm. Americans are being squeezed by their policies and life for them is one big party. We knew they were snakes when we picked them up. Unfortunately a slight majority of Americans like being snake bit. And after all this going on, nobody is asking questions about Benghazi or sequestration or anything else.
Mission accomplished.

Those young officers are White House social aides who volunteer to serve in that position in addition to their regular duties. I would imagine they´re thrilled to be in the White House. Further, you have to be single so it´s a great place to meet people. Lynda Bird Johnson met her husband Captain Charles Robb, USMC while he was a White House social aide.

when i read all of the comments about the obamas and their terrible behavior and what bo has done to ruin this country, i hope every ldotter voted for romney. it´s the people who complain bitterly about obama(s) but didn´t vote because romney was mormon, not conservative enough, flip flopper, whatever who get my goat. if all the republicans, conservatives and libertarians who didn´t vote had, we would have a dignified, smart and able man in the white house now.

We didn´t send any soldiers to protect the ambassador in Benghazi. But these soldiers were sent into the White House to protect Michelle or an Oscars envelope?

Democrats push problem

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district. Strouse’s candidacy reflects an emerging

KAUFMAN, Tex. — The judge was on the phone. “Yep, I said I’ll do anything,” Bruce Wood told the person on the other end, rubbing his forehead. “They asked me to do a eulogy. I don’t know what I’m going to say.” Elsewhere in the Kaufman County Courthouse, a sheriff’s deputy was handing out bulletproof vests. “I brought the smallest one,” he said to a secretary, who stared at the khaki armor as he explained how to adjust the side straps should the need arise. “These have the neck for a female.” Outside, two armed guards

Vanishing workforce
weighs on growth
Washington Post, by Jim Tankersley    Original Article

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

Well, not intentionally. But Jim Ragsdale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune attended a conference in Chicago on covering gun issues, which he describes this way: “Covering Guns” brought reporters with front-line experience covering mass shootings in Tucson, Ariz.; Aurora, Colo.; Newtown, Conn., and Red Lake, Minn., to meet with gun experts and advocates and gun trainers. Sponsored by the Poynter journalism center and funded by the McCormick Foundation of Chicago, we gathered in a city that witnessed 506 homicides last year. The idea, I take it

Report: Carbon Emissions
in US Lowest Since 1994

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

When I tell campus horror-stories like “What’s the Matter With Vassar?” people ask if parents know what’s going on at these schools. I don’t think they want to know. But guess what happens when protesters step on others’ rights in full view of parents? Tufts has one of the most active campus fossil-fuel divestment groups. Lately these protesters have been infiltrating orientation sessions and campus tours for prospective students, mostly high school juniors traveling with their parents. Climate protesters interrupt these recruitment activities with questions

Behind the Dismal Jobs Numbers:
The ‘New’ Economy Takes Shape
PJ Media, by Rick Moran    Original Article
Posted By: Dreadnought- 4/6/2013 8:27:24 PM     Post Reply
It is amazing just how wrong economists were in their predictions for the number of jobs that were to be created in March. The “consensus” figure was 200,000 — a far cry from the actual number created which was 88,000. Totally “unexpected,” as usual. In one way, you can’t blame them. After a better than average gain in February of 236,000 (revised upward this month to 268,000), along with some positive numbers in housing and consumer spending, there were no doubt many analysts who began breathing a sigh of relief and believing that the long-awaited jobs recovery was upon us.

The New Climate Deniers?
American Thinker, by David Lawrence    Original Article
Posted By: Dreadnought- 4/6/2013 9:33:09 AM     Post Reply
Rich Lowery in the New York Post (4-02-2013) accuses the liberals of being the new climate deniers, considering that they don´t recognize that there´s been no global warming for the last fifteen years. This shouldn´t surprise Lowery. When the liberals hang onto the neck of a cause, they don´t let go. They have ignored murders, rapes, wars, nuclear proliferation, and everything wrong with the world to focus in on their little area -- the horror of carbon emissions. You´d think liberals would have learned from their earlier panic about overpopulation

We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for 1 MILLION DOLLARS !” — Dr. Evil in “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” At the annual White House Easter Egg Roll this week, President Obama decided to shoot some hoops with the kids.

We know Johns Hopkins University is devoted to diversity, because it says so. Its “Diversity and Inclusion Statement,” a classic of the genre, says the university is “committed to sharing values of diversity and inclusion .?.?. by recruiting and retaining a diverse group of students.” Hopkins has an Office of Institutional Equity and a “Diversity Leadership Council” that defines “inclusion” as “active, thoughtful and ongoing engagement with each other.” Unless you are a member of Voice for Life (VFL), an antiabortion group.

Obama budget would cut entitlements

President Obama will propose a budget next week that embraces a risky strategy of courting Republicans for a grand bargain on the debt while angering Democratic allies with cuts to the nation’s entitlement programs. White House officials said Friday that Obama’s budget would cut Medicare and Social Security and ask for less tax revenue than he has previously sought. The budget, to be released Wednesday, will fully incorporate the offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during December’s “fiscal cliff” talks — which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.

Sen Mark Begich declared a “sea change” in the politics of gun control immediately after the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., telling his local newspaper that he would not hesitate to buck the powerful National Rifle Association. But in the months since, the gun rights group has made itself impossible for the Alaska Democrat, and many other lawmakers, to resist. Begich has signed on as a co-sponsor of a bill, drafted in consultation with the NRA, that would change the way mental illness is reported in the background check system — a measure that critics say

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

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

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

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

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.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

SANFORD - Trayvon Martin´s parents have settled a wrongful death claim for an amount believed to be more than $1 million against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where their teenage son was killed. Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out. Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was

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,
