First Lady: Priority Is Ensuring
´Family Is Whole´

Associated Press, by Darlene Superville

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 3/14/2013 6:41:20 AM

WASHINGTON -Michelle Obama is pushing back against the notion that she and President Barack Obama don´t socialize enough in Washington. The first lady says in an interview in the April issue of Vogue magazine that she and the president were straightforward when they said — before moving from Chicago to Washington in 2009 — that their family, including two young daughters, would be their priority. She said "the stresses and the pressures" of the White House are so real that they prefer to spend free time with their daughters, now 14 and 11.

They might not socialize much here in DC ~ they save that for when they vacation. I´m not too worried about their lack of partying!

Actually, Michelle, your first priority is keeping your husband´s actual agenda covered-up. Nothing ranks higher priority with you Leftists than not being exposed for who you are and what you want to do. Nothing. Not even your daughters - who have two of the world´s greatest liars for parents.

Last time they went to Hawaii, Obama golfed the entire time. He golfs all the time, and I don´t see him bringing Sasha and Malia along for family time. Reggie Love gets more time with O than his own kids.

Oh puhleeze. I would hate to see the cost of the Obama´s entertainment if they socialized anymore. These two party like it´s 1999 on our dime and in the people´s house!

Just because you can do something doesn´t mean you should do it. The vacations, parties, golf excursions are an affront to so many Americans who work two or three jobs just to put food on the table. The Obama´s have an imperial entitlement mindset which is much like the entitlement mentality of their supporters. They all want what they have not earned.

Vogue´s Anna Wintour continues her continuous propaganda campaign for Obama. Fund raising wasn´t enough. Articles lauding Syria´s First Lady, Mrs. Assad, to demonstrate how Obama is so much better than Bush in dealing with Syria´s murderous dictator, weren´t enough. Photo spreads on Hillary, Susan Rice and numerous other Obama women weren´t enough.

Now, to push the lies about Obama, we get a story on how the Obama children come first without explanation of the vast amount of time Obama spends away from wife and offspring. Or, an explanation on why Obama´s mother in law has been raising the girls in the WH since 1/09. Or, why Obama has struggled to remember the names of his offspring, Wintour is a devoted propagandist, and we can expect warm articles on the Kerrys, the Hagels and all of the Obama mediocrities.

I don´t know about this. The purported reason michelle´s mother is there is so there is someone (other than the servants assigned to take care of the children)to take care of them. This gang has two children that need HOW many adults to take care of them? And they seem to take almost separate vacations and the parents sleep in seperate rooms. Perhaps that is michelle (and it would appear most of the black community)definition of a "whole" family.

Their best friends from Chicago, the Whittakers and the Nesbitts own homes in D.C. They travel to Boomtown on the weekends to be with their "friends", they socialize at Our House, travel on vacation in this country and overseas with the first family. I assume that the American taxpayer is paying for the friends travel tab.

ValJar and the Chicago couples must be all they need to have a fulfilling social life.

Stress from what? It is reported that he does not show to the office until 10 am or later. His schedule is public. It is shown that on many days he has lunch with someone, maybe Biden, and his schedule is blank for the rest of the day. He is always playing golf or partying and it is time for another monthly luxury vacation.

Obama faces choice on
morning-after pill limits

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

GOP Must Stop ´My Way or the

Projecting madly, the White House on Sunday pushed the notion that Republican intransigence is the reason that Democrats have been unable to pass a budget during President Obama’s tenure. “Right now,” said senior White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer on Fox News Sunday, “the approach of many Republicans, particularly the leadership in the House, is my way or the highway.” This is certainly rich coming from an administration that has failed to garner a single “yes” vote on its budget proposals for the past several years, even from members of its own party.

WASHINGTON — President Obama went out for a round of golf Saturday afternoon, his second weekend in a row to hit the links at a course at Joint Base Andrews. The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush. Last Saturday, the president played golf at the same course with Nicholson, Brush, and friend and Chicago businessman Marty Nesbitt. The outing marked his first time on the golf course since the sequester cuts went into place on March 1. The president also took in the Syracuse-Marquette NCAA tournament basketball game

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s. Such sobering tales of teens snookering mom and dad caused mixed emotions in me — a solidly pro-choice

Last fall, Ginnette Powell traveled from her home in Boston´s Dorchester section to her old middle school in South Boston - a journey of just two miles, but one that covered a huge emotional distance. Finally, she was able to leave the painful past behind. Powell endured the explosive battle over desegregation in Boston in the 1970s. Tears come to her eyes when she talks about how it took her decades to return to the place where she never felt safe as an African-American seventh-grader."It was scary because of what you were going into, getting bricks thrown at your bus.

Is that? Is that?’” Adams recalled during an oral history interview. She knew, of course, what “that” meant. “That” was where Kennedy had been shot.

They’re big. They’re ugly. They’re noisy. And they’re coming. So get ready. The blockbuster brood of the periodical cicada, large insects that emerge en masse from the ground in 17-year intervals across the northeast, is on its way — and New York City’s largest public radio station is encouraging residents in Central Jersey and beyond to help track the invasion. “The whole idea came from our news director, Jim (Schachter, of Summit), who lives in New Jersey — he promised his wife that they would move from their home before the 17-year cicadas came back,”

Antonacci soon texted his friend Mike Pineda to help him deal with her. Both men had sex with her that night. But what distinguished May 8, 2009,

"She was everything a foreign service officer should be: smart, capable, eager to serve, and deeply committed to our country and the difference she was making for the Afghan people," Kerry said of the slain official.

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.

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

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

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?”
