Leave the Obama girls alone…oh, never mind
Remember what Barack Obama said about keeping his daughters out of the media eye?
Never mind.
Fresh off their Access Hollywood exploitation, Barack Obama had them sit down for a People magazine spread. (Hat tip: JWF)
The rules in the Obama household for Malia and Sasha are clear-cut:
_”No whining, arguing or annoying teasing,” their mother, Michelle Obama, told People Magazine.
_Make the bed. “Doesn’t have to look good, just throw the sheet over it,” said the mother of 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha.
_Set your own alarm clock. “They get themselves up, get their own clothes,” said their grandmother Marian Robinson.
_And the allowance from Dad for doing chores is $1 a week. Barack Obama conceded that “I’m out of town for weeks at a time, so Malia will say, ‘Hey you owe me for 10 weeks.’”…
…The Obamas rarely allow their daughters to be interviewed. After the television show “Access Hollywood” aired a report on the Obama children earlier this month, their father expressed regret for having agreed to it. “I don’t think it’s healthy and it’s something that we’ll be avoiding in the future,” he later said.
Add it to the flip-flop list.
The cover story appears in People Magazine’s latest issue, on newsstands Friday.

Melinda - #92 - Your ad about the cheapskate Obamarama credit card was HILARIOUS. You are so funny. Mastercard should hire you.
Atheling - #99 - Your comment was also so funny….but, Paris would make Kerry sign a pre-nup.
I agree Melinda! You are funny.
and you act funny.
Scooter36: You windbag. Who cares what Melinda gives her kids for allowance? Geez, your comment about her was completely uncalled for,especially that liberal bit about a confederate flag. You’re, as usual, off topic. Just give us all a break and GO AWAY.
Is this the same scooter at Jihad Watch who loves to defend Muslims and terrorists?
Comparing Cindy to Paris who is perhaps the worst example that America has to offer in terms of women shows exactly what libs are all about. They think all women are noting more than Paris Hilton’s and that goes a long way to explaining why they cheat on their wives, get caught with their pants down so to speak in roadside rest stop restrooms.
I thought Kerry preferred the Russian prison guard type? No offense to non Russian prison guard types.
If you think you can buy a confederate flag for a dollar you probably would have unprotected sex with Paris Hilton or say thank you so much fair and kind sir after Barack gives you your allowance.
Sambo, I bet you LOOK funny.
FirstSkirt, since you are easily entertained, its no surprise you found her comments funny. And i don’t give breaks, I take them. HA!
FirstSkirt,
I was unharmed by his allowance jab. I don’t have any children right now… I’m still young…
Thank you though First & Sambo!
If I did have children- they would be getting more than $1.00 a week allowance! At least 10-15/week! That’s just starting pay! What’s a kid going to do with a dollar?
As far as Scooter’s comments about my “Pathetic Life” - I work for a Fortune 200 company. I have nothing to worry about! Maybe… he’s just jealous!
you sure seem worried about what the Obama kids for an allowance, yea?
And being a receptionist for a Fortune 200 company doesn’t mean much to anybody. Thanks for playing.
*you sure seem worried about what the Obama kids GET for an allowance, yea?
HA HA … Receptionist?
NEVER!
There are receptionists in the company, but they report to me. Try again!
Hey you know what they say about people who ASS-ume.
I guess it is the same idiotic scooter at Jihad Watch!
Busy putting up those signs, Islam is Peace in your subways, dhimmi?
Have you seen many of his past posts just on this blog? He gives lgm a run for his money in just how deranged one can be.
That’s why I recognized him. Not just the name, but the asinine nature of his comments.
I probably do since I’m laughing my a$$ off at your childish comments.
Do not feed the troll!
FirstSkirt,
Did you catch #37?
Cindy McCain vs. Paris Hilton? Let’s see — both come from wealthy families who made their money in business. Paris, who gets surprisingly little from her trust fund and is not involved in the hotel business, makes money via sex tapes, paid nightclub appearances, and endorsing cheap blonde weaves that can be bought at the dollar store.
Cindy, who holds a college degree and is a former teacher as well as beauty pageant winner, took over her father’s business and made it even more successful. She managed this while being married to a high-profile politician, raising 4 children, and performing hands-on humanitarian work in Vietnam, Rwanda, and elsewhere.
Yeah, lots of similarities.
LGM has got this entire message board in check, you people cannot go a day without speaking his name. It’s awesome!
Keep dreaming, scooter-pie.
Now go back and paste those posters like a good dhimmi.
That allowance aint helping michelle kids. Also i like cindy mccain she a good person and i want two slow dances with her. Finally to the tolls here you all are lame and suck bad go to mexico and leave america alone.
Atheling, do you take off your white pointy hood when you type or can you see through those eye holes? just curious…
My kids are long grown and gone so I do not know what the current going allowance is but I do believe there is value in establishing the principle of reward for labor and saving.
Fifty years ago, my five year old daughter wanted a doll which cost a couple of dollars. We gave her a 25 cent/week allowance for emptying the cat box or something. By the time she saved the money for the doll, her wants had evolved and she chose to keep the money and add to it until her want-of- the-moment and cash intersected.
Same daughter, five years later: we built a house in a new development where all the houses had wooden shingle roofs. The shingle bundles were held together by 1″x2″ x18″ cedar lath and metal straps. I had a project requiring a couple hundred of these lath. I offered her 10 cents per lath for all she could gather ffrom building sites in the neighborhood. She hired neighborhood kid to collect lath for five cents each and delivered red wagon load after red wagon load of lath to our back yard, well over a thousand lath. The surplus lath made excellent fireplace starter that winter.
Today that little entrepreneur is a very successful attorney and my only rich relative.

You should have shared this with Chap years ago…
You know, I grew up thinking racist hate groupos were horrible anti-American organizations. However, now that I have the illegals filling up the neighborhoods, schools, stores and freeways around me and the government doing NOTHING about it.. in fact, McAmnesty and the Obamasiah planning on facilitating even MORE coming in… I am starting to understand the frustration that causes such organizations to rise..
I haven’t reached that point yet, but I am starting to see their side of the argument.
atheling said:
IAWTC. I know people who still get paid large allowances for doing little or nothing. A $1/wk allowance encourages working and saving. The elder Obamas may feel entitled to everything, but at least it appears that they’re teaching their daughters how to work. Fitting too, since Michelle says that when BO is president, he’s going to make us work. (Maybe even for that same allowance!)
The “No whining” rule is one that the elder Obamas should follow themselves, though…
This one made me laugh out loud.
I heard Fred Thompson on the Hannity radio show today… WHY COULDN’T THE MAN HAVE BEEN A MOTIVATED CANDIDATE???? HE IS ONE OF US!
He is like royalty compared to McAmnesty… sigh.
You know, if McAmnesty picked Fred as VP, I could get behind him.
Rob #125 is right. That piece is from Feb. of 2007 and it’s even worse now. Spreading to other cities. I know that if I was still in Springfield, Il. I might not be as up in arms over the issue as I am now, living in So. Cal. It’s a real eye opener and the Elites fail to notice this. This state is broke and a good portion of the problem is from the illegal invation.
L.A. is the second largest city in the USA and it has been taken over. We need to take her back. It’s that simple. Cut off all federal funding to cities that are sanctuary and then we’ll see some action.
Please support Walter Moore for Mayor of L.A. he’s the guy that wrote Jamile’s Law.
Boy I missed that one. I thought all those traits were needed to be a Democrat? The only thing missing there, in order to be a good Democrat, is an order to always carry a white flag and wave it every chance you get.
They wave that flag more than Chuck Berry Plays with his Ding A Ling.
No whining = Barack got tired of the kids leaving their arugula on the plate.
No arguing = Barack got tired of them winning the debates in family discussions.
No teasing = Barack got tired of them making fun of his ears.
I doubt if I would qualify, since I’m Catholic and not 100% white, dhimmi.
Your comment demonstrates how intellectually bankrupt you are, since all you can respond with is that tired old libtard “racist!” accusation. Yawn.
So John Ansell does this mean that while Barack’s away Michelle is raising the kids by instilling conservative values in them? Except for the arguing part, only zombies don’t argue now and again.
TGUSA, I think Obambi’s campaign handlers are “raising” them now.
I was amazed when I took this pic of a seagull teaching the finer techniques of the swoop and poop to her young.
I have a problem with Rob’s and John Ansell’s comments.
The problem is culture, not race. Organizations like the KKK are racist and bigoted; had they focused on culture, their position would be more acceptable.
I have no problems with immigrants. My mother is an immigrant. However, she diligently applied herself to learn English, learn American history, and adapt to her host country’s traditions and values. This was a time before the PC, Multikulti rot set in. Hell, my mother is a more patriotic American than lgm or Rusty is.
The current problem is a lack of civilizational confidence, coupled with the moral relativity of multiculturalism. We are not demanding that the immigrant become an American. Instead, we coddle and poison them with unAmerican and anti-American propaganda. We do not demand that they speak English, or abide by our laws and customs.
What you fellows are missing is that being an American is not about skin color or ethnicity, as it is with Europeans or Asians or Africans. It’s about a way of thinking and believing, as the Founding Fathers declared on July 4, 1776.
America is the only nation founded on a creed. Hence, anyone can be an American, as it is not limited to race or religion.
Your thinking that the KKK is legitimate only hurts our cause in that it provides ammo to the libtards.
Tread carefully, and don’t let reactionism guide your thoughts and beliefs.
Blind Mule. I love it!!!!
Atheling said this about LGM:
Be careful Atheling- he may think you are complimenting him…
LOL! Blind Mule, thanks for the laugh!
Atheling said:
Well said, Atheling…
Isn’t your call name a character from Beowulf?
love2rumba:
Yes, indeed. And my surname derives from the word.
Atheling, maybe I wasn’t clear, sorry. I don’t hate the race nor immigrants. My wife is now a Citizen of the USA as she was from Taiwan. Nor did I mean to say that I agreed with Rob on the KKK org. starting up, just the general post that the ILLEGALS are destroying our Cities. Did you read the article I had in the link?
I’m tired of cities like Los Angeles putting up with gangs like MS 13, 182nd street gang, East Side Torrance Gang…etc, if that is the culture they want to bring to America, then I’ll be the first to be called a racist and say they should not be allowed to come….even to visit.
Again, I want to make it clear, the KKK is an evil organization and has no place in America nor the world. I feel strongly about that, just as strongly as I feel about La Raza.
Thanks for watching out for me, though.
You are absolutely on fire Blind Mule.
“Aetheling” designates an uncrowned member of the royal house in Old English.
“Athelstan King
Lord among Earls
Bracelet Bestower and
Baron of Barons
He with his brother,
Edmund Aetheling,
Gaining a lifelong
Glory in battle,
Slew with the sword-edge
There by Brunanburh
Brake the shield-wall
Hewed the lindenwood
Sons of Edward with hammered brands…”
“The Battle of Brunanburh,” trans. by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
You are right atheling, absolutely, regarding America and Americans but nevertheless it is easy if we don’t watch out to get caught up in what the loud ones are saying or doing. Those are the ones that we hear about they are the ones making the news, the group of which your patriotic mother is a part are busy working contributing going about their lives as Americans no one hears about them on the nightly update. Never become what you hate it will destroy you, just ask reverend wright.
Grey Fox:
Wow, thanks, I had not read that. I wish my Dad was still alive to read it himself.
I feel very blessed to be able to experience two sides to America. On the one hand, I’m the daughter of an immigrant, so I have first hand experience of the “immigrant story” that so many Americans share.
On the other hand, my father’s people came here from England in 1640, and I’m proud to descend from such early American stock!
John Ansell:
I see your point, and I agree.
atheling said (#54):
Paris Hilton also does charity parties.
Insults hurt more if they are clever in some way. You can get some ideas from dissing contests on TV (your mother is so ugly …)
I think lgm is a closet racist. Search Google Images for “picking nits” and you get this.
lgm so lame, he one uh Jerry’s Adults.
Rimshot.
LGM reminds me a lot of Vladimir Posner, the USSR propagandist for the regime back in the ’80s before Vladimir (the son of American-born Reds who relocated to the USSR) was forced to get a real job….
Thanks Atheling.
Blind Mule, I think Die Hippie Die gave you a great pic to work with.
Just because of your photo shops, I would like to thank you. I’m going to force myself to learn how to do it. Something I’ve been putting off.
lgm is a libtard spambot.
Or, how about “libtard guano machine”??? HA!
I don’t give a crap about KKK’s cause. I only have MY cause. If YOUR cause supports MY cause then okay.. if not, too bad.
I want my wife and children to enjoy the America that I want them to enjoy. The illegals, the gang members, the rappers, the liberals… they DON’T advance my agenda.
Call me what ever you want. I just want to live in peace without fear in the America that I want.
I do NOT want multi-culturalism.. I only want AMERICANISM!
I bet she DOES a lot, just like lgm, just different guys, or not.
Did you get a glass navel so you can see where you are going with your head where it is?
Just curious.
My…what an incredibly sexist assumption made by one of those “progressive” Liberals who, you know, are all about the “empowerment” of womyn and that whole “only Republicans and Conservatives are sexist” mentality.
I love when this dweeb attempts to sound superior. Every time he opens up that festering gop of his, he demonstrates to one and all just what a pathetic, racist, sexist biggoted, hypocritical moron he really is.
I await here, on the edge of my seat, longing for the next attempt of his to appear superior and intelligent. It seems there is a contest going on between him and two other of our Lib-Trolls on here to attempt to outdo the others at being the most self-righteous, sanctimonious f-tard on the site. Anyone know which of them is winning yet?
Off topic: Hey #116-On My Soap Box. Yes. I did get it–I rarely text, so I have some trouble with all the letters, but thank you for helping me out. I still have trouble with LOL!!
Melinda–keep posting all your funny stuff. You bring a smile to many here on MM! Ignore trolls.
ArizonaNeanderthal said (#155):
Note to atheling (#153) (Or, how about “libtard guano machine”??? HA!): even a Neanderthal conservative can have a sense of humor, and make an actual argument at the same time: Paris Hilton is famous not only because she’s rich, but because of her loose “morals”. Nobody accused Cindy McCain of this.
Thanks Ret Fireman and John Anstell!
Hey First, I post when I can!
I don’t post all the time because I’m working… A LOT!
Ret- I couldn’t believe it when he called me a secretary! Not that there’s anything wrong with being a secretary…
FYI Scooter- I have male secretaries too. They’re actually called,”Administrative Assistants” here in the Corporate World.
Their job is actually something valued at my company. We recieve 80,000 + faxes a day, and over 40,000 phone calls a day. (That’s just from 8am-8pm EST). We would be swimming with sharks without our Admins! Maybe you should think about that before you take someone for granted.
Something that liberals never learn: It takes hard work to get your feet off the ground. You have to start somewhere. One of my secretaries this year- could be promoted to become my boss next year. You never know.
Yet earlier you said:
So is Paris famous because of her trust fund or because of her behavior?
Do you even have a point anymore? Why compare Mrs. McCain to Paris (other than obviously trying to deflect with nothing more than hyperbole)?
Lastly, Cindy McCain is the acting chair of Hensley & Co. Equating this to “a trust fund” and comparing her to the spoiled Hilton heiress is rather lame.
So is this your sense of your humor (as you note to atheling) or do you really believe this an actual argument on your part?
Atheling,
I kind a thought so….thank you.
