Leave Obama’s kids alone…except when POTUS & FLOTUS need them for Obamacare

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 21, 2009 11:32 AM

Many times over the last two years, Barack Obama has admonished the press to keep his daughters out off their radar screens — only to parade them in front of Hollywood gossip cameras and People magazine photogs when it suited them.

Just a few weeks ago, the White House wagged its finger at the media to stay away from Sasha and Malia because they are “not public figures.”

But last week, both POTUS and FLOTUS shoved daughter Sasha into the limelight to sell Obamacare.

JWF notes the contradiction in tale-telling — POTUS said baby Sasha was diagnosed with meningitis, FLOTUS says she was not:

Who are we to believe? I know the Obamas detest our medical profession, but can they please provide us with the medical diagnosis so we can sort out the truth? I know, I know, this is racist for me to ask, but since this was only seven or eight years ago, I’m sure these records are still on file, so we ask the Obamas to please provide the public with the medical records so we can get to the bottom of this mystery. It’s pretty simple. Your daughter either was diagnosed with meningitis or she wasn’t. If she was, one of you are lying. If she wasn’t, one of you are lying.

Please clear this up for us. No doubt on one of the five news shows Barack is appearing on Sunday someone will ask for a clarification, right?

None did.

And don’t count on David Letterman to ask when Obama visits for an interview tonight on his increasingly politicized late night talk show (take a look at my recap of Letterman’s whitewash of John Holdren for a reminder).

Mr. and Mrs. Obama: Take your own advice. Fight your own health care takeover battles — and leave your kids alone!

    I will play it safe and believe they’re both lying. At any given time, one of them is.

    Evil doctors took his daughter Maya er Malia’s tonsils out for no reason, then amputated her foot.

    It is personal for Barack.

    Trivia of the Day:

    Barack is the Arabic form, passed into Kenyan, of the Hebrew name “Baruch”.

    Just like Musa and Moshe, Daoud and David…

    I wonder if Andrew Sullivan will get the fever to prove Michelle isn’t the mother of Sasha.

    The girl does look too normal to be the daughter of M.O.

    Simply another indication of how important Obamacare is to The One. You have to ask yourself what it is he feels he will lose, if he does not succeed?

    Obama is willing to “die on the hill” for his one. Why?

    Since I haven’t watched Letterman since he quit being funny in about 1992, and I try to avoid The Won at all costs, I don’t think I’ll tune in. Probably watch my dvr’d Beck from this afternoon.

    Since big ear barry was a state senator at the time of this “so-called” family emergency, they had insurance and very good jobs.

    A few doctor visits were not going to break this family.

    Besides big ear barry was already a published author.

    Not to mention her job, which I have not yet looked up to see where she was employed at the time.

    I heard this story last week and knew it was BS as soon as it left her lips.

    YOU LIE flotus

    Also it pays to not forget that one of the Polynesian/Hawaiian meanings of the name Malia is “Bitter”

    If you don’t want your family involved with your politics, then leave them out and treat them the same way VP Dick Cheney’s daughter was.

    OOOpppss!!! Thats right she was outed for her lesbianesse relationship to paint the Conservative movement as a bunch of hypocrites.

    Sasha seems to be OK now as far as I can tell.

    How could that happen in a country with a second rate health care system? Did they take her to Cuba to be treated?!?

    She’s one lucky little lady to have parents who could afford to take her to another country so she could get the best medical care avaiable!

    This is how cold and power-driven that the Obamas are…their kids are mere props for their “reform” programs. That’s all there is to it.

    A bit like the 11-year-old girl who was drafted to ask a “question” about the mean anti-ObamaCare protesters? Hypocrisy, thy name is BarryO.

    More importantly it must be determined whether she was three months old or four months old when this happened.

    One of them must not be telling the truth and it is certainly grounds for impeachment.

    Anecdotes about your children rise to the level of felonious behaviour and treason. The ‘MSM’ will not follow up on this.

    Yes, by all means, we should give President Obama a pass when he uses anecdotes to make his point.

    Don’t pay any attention to whether or not those anecdotes are real or even accurate… It’s just about his delivery of the words, not the actual content, right?

    It’s interesting that the Obama’s can’t even keep a straight story on their own family medical history. Just goes to show you that you can tell when an Obama is lying – the lips are moving.
