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.

Rarely?! Ha! They’ve been interviewed by every venue from Extra! to Weekly Reader! BHO’s word is worth less and less with each passing day – even where it concerns his own family.
Dear Senator Obama,
Please stop using your kids as public relations objects to further your career. It’s tacky, and it turns off people.
Sincerely,
Kathie Lee Gifford
*out*
$1.00 allowance a WEEK? Did Obama vote to cut funding for the troops AND his family?
Huh?!
This this should be the new campaign slogan for Barack Hussein Obama:

#2, somebody’s a Jim Rome fan
.
Considering he spends three hours a day visiting six different gyms, no wonder he owes them so much allowance. He is never around. The gym is more important.
Fixed it for ya.
LOL
, I think that say’s it all.
Done.
Thanx, Blind_Mule! That is better – and oh so true!
Obama’s out of the country. Did MO act alone? Is he prepared to throw her under the bus for undermining his decision?
He could get those illegals he panders to to do those chores for $0.50. What’s he thinking?
Finally, done.
So at least they’re on par with the rest of America after taxes.
Hmmmm? That raises an interesting point – Is BHO deducting taxes from their pay and is he in compliance with child labor laws?
Literally picking nits. Get a life.
You people are just totally missing the nuance. Don’t you understand? Glowbama was against pimping out his daughters before he was for it. Get it now?
Actually, I think paying kids for chores like making their beds, picking up their toys, doing the dishes, etc. is unnecessary.
Those are things you have to do to run an orderly household. As adults, we get no extra pay for picking up after ourselves.
That’s about it.
No – I don’t think so. Obama’s said his kids and his wife are off limits.
Fine. I respect that.
Until he parades them in front of the cameras. Those girls shouldn’t be in the public eye at all; they’re minors and need a childhood.
His wife, when stumping for his campaign, is fair game.
So either keep them out of the spotlight or don’t freak out when people talk about them and your life.
Sure thing lgm…. right after you learn what the word “literally” means.
Moron.
Hey! These are our own nits, and we’ll dyam well pick them if’n we want! Go get your own!
You first – idiot. Nobody wants you here so – leave. DLTDHYOTWO
What a cheap pultroon! If only he were this niggardly with our tax dollars! (and yes I said niggardly, perfectly good word, get over it!)
RE #3:
He can’t give ‘em too much…after all, they donate a ton to charity, remember?
He is obviously exploiting his children for political gain. Its pathetic, but not at all surprising…
Practice what you preach.
Okay. I want LGM to go away, too. But, please educate me…what the heck is DLTDHYOTWO?
btw, NOTHING Obama does surprises me, or his snarky wife.
If the fantasy world you’re living is called “life”, I’ll pass and live in reality where this country was founded on the Constitution. What was and is your stance on the second amendment again there commie? Oh that’s right, you refused to acknowledge an individual’s right to bear arms. Much like you and your ilk in D.C. are still violating the Constitution even after the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution says we have the individual right outside of any service in a militia to own and bear arms (which was a big duh for those of us with a brain and ability to read and take the founders documents directly on the topic around the time it was written clearly mentioning an individual right to own and bear arms for the common defense of person and property).
If you want to join one of your socialist utopia’s you keep trying to make this country into by shredding the Constitution I’d be happy to send you to France or Cuba with a one way ticket after burning your passport, social security card, and placing your name and fingerprints and picture into a government database of traitors never allowed entry in the US.
First Skirt,
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Why, lgm?! Are you implying that they have cooties? Did Obama do something to make you mad?
Obamessiah has no shame.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Wow, 30 pcs–what did I say or do to you? I was just asking a question. Geez!
And, sorry if I offended in some way.
Barack Obama sucks donkey balls. Period.
Awhile back I heard BHO discussing his kids futures in an interview. He was talking about how he hoped that they would get scholarships to college when they grew up. No one seemed to notice his remarks they went by as if that was perfectly normal, expected almost. The position he is in and the wealth they have accumulated and they cant pay for their own education? Well what would you expect from a guy who gives out a dollar a week as allowance. What’s that buy a candy bar, half an order of fries, one third of a cheeseburger, a fifth of a gallon of gas? What a cheapskate.
Well, he doesn’t have his own so you need to give him a break on this one.
She just answered your question:
D-on’t
L-et
T-he
D-oor
H-it
Y-ou
O-n
T-he
W-ay
O-ut
DLTDHYOTWO
Hey lgm:
Remember your saying that Michelle Obama would make a better First Lady than Cindy McCain because of her “education”, blah, blah, blah?
Has Michelle gone to Rwanda during the horrendous genocide in 94? What has Michelle O done to help those in need? Hands on experience?

Thanks Soap!
30 – you being mean to people again!
Alaskangrizz,
lgm wouldn’t give up his cushy tenure or fat teachers pension. He reaps all the benefits of capitalism and then rails against in for everyone else. Typical lib.
Always got your back there 30!
This time it was different! I swear!
AG, I don’t know if France or Cuba is the place to send a Jonathan “Sheikh Mohammed” Goodman. There’s got to be better places.
P.S.
Thanks for the picks, BM. They come in handy!
Giggle
lgm, I don’t think you could find a single person here who would be willing to pick the lice off Barack. You are literally illiterate. If you had said nit-picking that is a common expression. Picking nits is what monkeys do to each other.
You never know, Ron. It might be a common troll practice too.
“Picking nits – It’s not just for monkeys anymore.”
You know, if you’re online right now, Blind_Mule, what you need in your PhotoBucket gallery is a seagull with lgm’s head superimposed on it for his swoop-n-poop sessions.
Why are we surprised by Obama’s exploitation of his children for political gain? His children sat through years of racial rants at Trinity United in order to advance his political standing in Chicago. That had to be far more damaging to them than these “photo ops” and “human [dis]interest” stories. IMHO
Jenn of the Jungle said (#34):
Finally a convincing argument from a conservative. Limbaugh, Hannity, Malkin, all digested so even liberals can understand them.
atheling said (#38):
That’s not what I said. Cindy McCain has more in common with Paris Hilton than Michelle Obama. We know her name only because of her trust fund.
I don’t like to end posts with insults, but I’ll make an exception for you: it seems like you guys put what people say in a blender with a healthy dose of your own nutty imagination and pour the resulting scrambled mush into your posts.
How dare you people criticize BHMO!
That’s right, as of this moment, and I expect it to catch on, he is now known as
BARACK HANNAH MONTANA OBAMA.
He is a sweet child, and like Punky Brewster 20 years ago, we should not make him feel bad by criticizing him.
This is an adult world, and we do not want to spoil the innocent BHMO with talk of complicated issues and flip flops.
The only flip flops this cherub should have to deal with are the ones he wears to the beach. Also, no criticizing his beach sandcastles. He is trying his best, but George W. Bush polluted the water, affecting the sand quality.
Michelle Obama has three children, and they are all nice young girls.
Show them respect.

A dollar a week? I thought I was being cheap giving my kids a dollar a day. You’re right, Rogue Cheddar, the word is niggardly. And I don’t care how busy Obama is, what kind of father is gone from his kids for ten weeks? Looks like he should take his own Father’s Day speech to heart. Ten weeks. Britney Spears sees her kids more than that.
I’ll start this post with an insult to you, lgm.
You’re a lying sack of s***.
Cindy McCain has very little in common with Paris Hilton or other bimbos. Did you read the facts about her humanitarian aid? Of course not! That makes you wilfully blind, and as well as a POS liar.
Now I’ll end this with an insult as well.
You’re the most pathetic piece of human excrement on this site. You lie, obfuscate, and distort everything. Can you go through 2 minutes without lying? Can you even think clearly for 20 seconds without another lie popping into your pea-sized brain?
Screw you and your libtard fantasies, scum.
Those poor children….
PotKettleBlack
“Literally” literally has a meaning, and it’s not what you think..
As for Cindy having more in common with Paris than Michelle – you’re saying what? Both blonde? Paris has spent years helping disabled children? Cindy shows up at nightclubs for an appearance fee? Help me out, I’m trying to find coherence in your post.
I don’t have a problem with BHO giving only a dollar a week to his kids. What do they need money for, except to learn to earn it?
I won’t “nitpick” this one, if it’s the truth, that is.
Don’t waste your time, AG.
How will those kids be able to make the piano lesson payments on 1 buck a week?
Uh, Rob, I posted that already.
And be able to get arugula
Oh, gee, atheling… I am sorry, I didn’t know this was a competition for points….
By all means, you get the credit.
I had to place a call to my friend, Captain Obvious, to get this answer, but…
Isn’t that what you do here on a regular basis? Pick nits from democratic talking points with no proof or basis and then just post and run?
Mirrors can’t talk. In your case, its good they cant laugh either.
As for the resulting mush you’ve spoken of, you’re the last person to go up against someone here that presents a solid argument and backs it up with facts. While there are people here who do subscribe to your aforementioned scrambling, you rarely address anyone but those people.
I wouldnt have to bust your chops, but you dont really give me alot of options when you post things like this.
FoodFoodsA dollar a week, I wouldn’t think twice about it either if it were 1960. Work is work and should be paid for appropriately that’s how we learn early on that work equals money. So what’s he teaching his kids when he does appear, that there’s very little value in working? Just wondering, what message he is trying to send here kinda like his overall campaign.
As if you have EVER made a convincing argument – EVER.
Cindy helping children = Paris helping inebriated pachyderms
You are a complete idiot.
I think you just called the Obamas “lice.” You racist b@st@rd…
Thin-skinned, Rob? It’s not about points, it’s just that I’m surprised that you didn’t see it.
Yeah. I liked that one too!
Oh, and while I am at it, a professor who doesn’t known the meaning of “literally”: pathetic. No wonder our universities are such a mess…
Jenn of the Jungle (34) has the grace and subtlety of a battering ram.
Her husband is one lucky man, and it is possible to be attracted to and scared to death of a woman simultaneously.
Now if only she would stop hating on BHMO.
Respectfully,
eric aka the Tygrrrr Express
It’s a good’n.
In the words of Curly Howard, “Oh, took me illiterately, eh?”
Those girls better take what they can get and be thankful. There are plenty of
Mexicansborder jumping illiegal aliens who would be glad to do it for a dollar.Once in the White House I’m sure it will be increased and subsidized!
unbelievable. . . Obama, the musical continues.
He can use them as political pawns, but they are off limits to scrutiny. He is pimping out his family.
BWWWAAAHHHAAAAHHHAAA
I just visited Pari$ Hilton’s chairty web page. What a friggin loser. The page looks as if were written by a fifth grader and has no useful information on it
CLICK AND PUKE (IF YOU MUST)
Not sure if Cindy McCain has a site but HERE is what I turned up with a simple search.
More proof lgm is an idiot.
I was going to post about the $1.00 a week thing, but someone beat me to it.
Really? A DOLLAR A WEEK.
The Obama’s do live in the THIRD world… and if they get elected they’ll bring us all down with them!
Who gives their kids a dollar a week?
That’s wayyyyy low.
Well Ron Rockstar you know who used to do the yard work, bus the tables and deliver the paper, our kids. I was a bus boy at one time during HS I also made a lot of money in the years before that doing neighborhood yard work. I liked having money if I asked my dad for some work he’d say sure I’ll give you a penny a weed pulled, trouble was I never could find very my weeds to pull so I had to seek out work which wasn’t very hard to find. No one speaks about who in the beginning was undermined with this invasion, who they were squeezing out, family values? The liberals talk about saving the chillin but we see where that has led and now it’s spreading to other sectors. The question is, who’s next?
Like we needed that soap!
A dollar a week?
No wonder he was embarassed. He should be.
A dollar a week is an embarassment.
Hey- if Obama is elected- is he going to lower the minimum wage to $1.00 a week?
..I can’t get over it… he makes like a million dollars and he can’t spare his kids but a dollar a week?
Talk about a slave driver!
Obama says he’s going to do one thing and turns around and does another. Puts his woman and children in the firing line…sounds vaguely familiar but I can’t remember the name of the group that uses the same MO.
A dollar a week won’t buy arugula!
Friends, you can’t let lgm get to you. Whoever this is (whomever?), this person just loves to get the goats of MM’s readers! I’ve never read anything the least bit interesting from lgm (have you?), and therefore don’t give a rat’s derrière what they think about anything.
I encourage you to ignore lgm, as you would any other annoyance; it’s beneath our dignity to argue with such an intransigent gnat.
Actually, vicki, I look at lgm as being more comedic relief than anything else.
Arugula – $3.25
Small fries from McDonald’s – $1.12
Doing chores – $1.00/week
Growing up and realizing that your dad is a cheapskate b@st@rd…. PRICELESS
There are some things money can’t buy— for everything else- there’s the b@st@rdcard…
$1 a week is about what I would expect from Obama. Conservatives give their children allowances so they can learn to manage their money. They usually expect them to save a certain amount, give a certain amount to tithe, or charity or both and then have some to spend. Liberals don’t expect their children to learn money management because they expect the government to take care of their children.
You know, guys, even if LGM is a
littlelot on the uneducated side, you still have to give the person props for jumnping into the conservative lion’s den. I always get a kick out of the lies, spin, and liberal laughable views that lgm brings. I also enjoy the great responses that are generated by lgm’s presense. Thanks for the entertainment lgm.That is kind of insulting to liberals, isn’t it? You should be glad she was speaking down to your level (and, according to you, the level best understood by all liberals).
So who does MObama have anything in common with? Leona Helmsley (taxes are for little people)? Maybe Sistah Soljah?
Cindy McCain went out and did something useful with her time and money. Something charitable. Affirmative Action Michelle Obama seems to have contributed to worthy causes like that racist church they have to pretend not to go to right now.
Wow, that hurt!! /sarcasm LOL!
LGM
I don’t think someone who posts on-line “insight” for no charge should be telling those who write articles for REAL money to get a life…
That’s the spirit, Barry!
You could have just called him a liberal. The rest is understood.
Not to go off topic but can anybody imagine Paris Hilton voting for and giving money too anything but Democrats, assuming she is even aware of the world outside of nightclubs and parties? Come on, this party girl who is surrounded by Hollywood celebrities, fashionistas, musicians, Hugh Hefner and Co… has probably never even met a Republican. She is also very much against cruelty to animals, which gives some more insight into her ideological leanings. So I’m sure she and Michelle Obama have quite a bit in common, at least politically.
