In the months to come, political strategists expect to see the first family used as a political asset.
“The value of the family is enormous,” said Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. “The more you know this family and the more you think of Barack Obama in these terms, the harder it is to vilify him.”
MO told a gaggle of reporters last week “Malia and Sasha enjoy campaigning”. Since when have their children become a “political asset”? This strategy by the BO campaign is directed at middleclass Americans. You know, the ones who were robbed to pay for his 800 billion Stimulus Bill which turned out to stimulate his big donors and friends. This is part of the new theme BO has come up with to assure middleclass voters the future will be brighter and to alleviate their fears. He can’t run on his record, a dismal one at best. He can’t run on “hope and change”, an abysmal failure of pipe dreams. He certainly can’t run on “transforming America” since most of us hate the transformations BO has done to health care, energy production, the cost of living, bailouts, the Constitution, in the form of executive orders and mandates. So, one of the few things left is to use his children as “political assets” in his bid for re-election. You had to know this was coming, it’s all BO has left. The rigors of campaigning are tough, especially the Presidential campaign. I doubt very much the decision to go on the campaign trail was one Malia and Sasha made. Dragging them into the muck of a campaign is just wrong….seriously. BO and MO will do anything to assure re-election, even use their children as “political assets”.










An ASS-et maybe butt using his wife (or something) and daughters to try and connect with middle America shows how desperate BO and his minnions are. How sad for Malia and Sasha who both look completely miserable when they are paraded out as props. They know.
Yes, they look not only miserable, but mean. I never saw two kids look so “can’t stand to be here” so often.
Gotta wonder how Smiling 101 is going?
And the older one needs to work on the “deer in the headlights” face. These days, not many kids are so often surprised by a camera as these two.
I suppose now we’ll be getting the “lay off the kids” memes.
How soon will the campaign recycle Granny? Now that I think of it, with MOOch and Granny as role models, these two unsmiling unpleasant looking kids are a success. Never thought of it that way before.
Their daddy has an awful lot of teeth lately. You can take smiling too far.
Well, I try not to talk the kids, but they are now in the middle of it. Malia is about the age of W. Bush’s girls, so I’m thinking about the age of ‘political consent’. Malia is old enough, I think, to go on the trail and handle it well.
Sasha’s my photobomber right lower corner girl, though. She often wears the expression that conveys what the viewer feels when looking at the picture.
My mother often dragged me through rest homes with her as she campaigned for the local DEM representative. It was a horrible experience, some of the homes tied the people ti wall handrails with sheets, and the place smelled like urine, and many of them suffered from dementia. The election board members would still round them up for votes, though.
This experience leads me to have a theory of those ‘hanging chads’ in the 2000 vote.
If they insist upon putting the girls out there, they become fair game. Plain and simple. You are absolutely correct, they look mean and they both have “attitudes”. Probably because they are way too overindulged. I don’t want to sound insensitive, but I don’t have any sympathy for them. I just want them all to go away, and I pray everyday that come November they will be given their “your services are no longer needed or wanted” papers. This country cannot afford these people’s unreasonable living expenses.
Ha,Ha,Ha! They couldn’t even get Malia to unfist her fist for the official White House photo!!!
This is almost child abuse. IMO, these girls are scared, not just bored. They’ve been told that many are out to kill Mommy and Daddy and even Daddy said that he’s glad “men with guns” are protecting his children. They must think people (White people) want to kill them.
What a horrible life these 2 innocents have.
Knowing kids the way we all do, I would bet that they can’t wait to get out of the WhiteHouse so that they can have something like a normal life. Bringing them front and center into a political race is, well, just wrong.
That’s exactly the reason I don’t put up pics of those kids….they should never be part of this.
It isn’t *normal* to throw them in the ring and expect them to perform.
Congregation Captain?….isn’t being involved in a political campaign by any church a subject for taxation? Isn’t it part of their 501 status as non-profit to seperate their churches from the state?
Wasn’t he going to transcend race?
Now we’re down to “vote for me because I’m in your gene pool!”
Seems that is exactly what has happened…Samuel L Jackson effect..
New Obama ad features First Family….”Help the Obamas Stand Up For Working Americans”
http://www.buzzfeed.com/h2/hnew1/zekejmiller/obama-ad-features-entire-first-family
Yep, he went there…
I use Weather Underground for my local weather…that photo has been up for more than a month. It’s not up all the time, butt when it is, it appears in 3 places on the page.
WOW, Just found it…do you think the site was the testing ground for the campaign portrait?
I’ve actually seen that photo numerous places for quite a while. Although, I can’t remember where, butt I’ll let you know the next time I see it.
Other than the portrait, this was the first I’ve heard or seen that pic.
Got to get out more (shakes head and mumbles to herself)
That was their Christmas 2011 pic.
What does “help the Obamas” infer ? Are Mo and the girls going to get gov’t jobs? It seems the campaign is trying to get people to ‘vote’ for all of them..Creepy And Stupid, somebody hit a double.
It appears on my e-mail page om Verizon/Yahoo. I just want to wipe the smirk right of his leveral, socialistic, muslim mug. The wee Wons will be needing therapy for years to get over their anger of losing the fun and happiness of their cxhildhood because their parents used them as pawns for vacay excuses and political power and re-election. If 75% of people view Moo favorably, then it was only Blacks and Dim-o- cats that they polled, I know the people I talk to just dislike her as much as Barry. That is a very skewed poll heavily weighted with just Dim-o-cats.
Is that their Christmas pic? These people have no shame.
Looks like MOTUS got a cease and desist on the Aspen photo too….
http://www.michellesmirror.com/2012/02/snow-queen-cometh-home.html
It’s the same local photog that caused Granny Jan’s video to come down. But she’s back with a roar. Since yesterday 3 new ones have shown up in my Facebook newsfeed.
I checked the Aspen Daily News article which used the photo first, I believe. The photo has been pulled…
Keith Koffler’s video of MOO skiing is gone. It was just a spoof and not even her. Scary times ahead.
nm it’s back up…
Suppress we much.
LOL!!!
Just-Pretend-She-Wasn’t-There time in Big white.. what a bunch of asshats!!
“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism”…. LOL
Amen to all the above!!

Now there’s an Official Campaign Soundtrack. No hip hop butt lots of country….
Says iowntheworld “Obama is releasing a mix, a desperate attempt to woo us back, like a nerd does in high school.”
http://iowntheworld.com/blog/?p=120926
I think these kids are angry because they know that Daddy isn’t universally considered to have been a big success as President. Perhaps they know how much of the nation feels about Mommy, too. Remember how Malia told BO that as the first AfAm President his first state of the union address had “better be good”?
Meesh said that it’s up to the kids if they want to be on the campaign trail — they liked it last time because everyone gave the ice cream. We know this family has a nutso thing for ice cream, so perhaps that will make a difference this time.
I think this is rather sick. It’s part of redeeming MeeshMoochMORE as a regular gal and down-home Mommy. Stay tuned for lots of photo ops. Do you think they will go so far as to dress MeeshMoochMORE and the Princesses Obama in Mommy-Daughters dresses?
Not unless MO wears tutus….Sasha might
No way is Malia going to wear a mommy/daughter dress. Teens don’t do that…trust me.
Butt you can count on the girls being dressed “odd” – being polite here….Malia has worn outfits lately that are more like for a 40 year old. MOOCH and her handmaidens have no clue about what it means to dress “conservative”.
As Meesh tells Americans that we can’t leave it up to parents to make sure kids eat healthy so we must change school lunches for that to happen, she admits her own wee Wons like to go on the campaign trail because gives them ice cream. What a blooming hypocrit!! By the looks of Meesh on the slope at Aspen, she has eaten many, many bowls of ice craem to get that rooster perch behindy!!
I can’t believe that we have people in schools inspecting bag lunches. We have become pre-WWII Germany in the sense that national government has become our ever-intruding big brother.
Remember how the Nazis tried to remake Christmas into a Solstice holiday? This crew just tries to tuck it out of sight from the public.
Supremes to hear case on affirmative action….Kagan recuses herself…
[...]Those bringing the case hope the Supreme Court will restrict or even eliminate the right of colleges to consider race in admissions – a prerogative last affirmed by the Supreme Court in 2003 in a case involving the University of Michigan’s law school.
In a sign that is likely to worry supporters of affirmative action (and to cheer critics of the practice), Justice Elena Kagan announced that she took no part in consideration of the appeal seeking a Supreme Court review — a likely sign that she will not take any part in the actual review.[...]

Inside Higher Ed
Watching an old, old “Law & Order” show on TV about a Black reporter who faked a story;
The gist of the story was that he had been promoted simply because the newspaper wanted some ‘diversity’ on their writing staff and even though he was caught out, the paper wouldn’t fire him for the same reason. They just watched him more carefully.
In the storyline, the writer’s attorney slammed AffirmativeAction as an insult to minorities and treated them as if they were too stupid to enter college or get a job on their own merits.
It was kind of shocking to hear this kind of storyline on L&O because they were notorious for the heavy lefty-liberal leaning shows.
I understand that such a law was necessary to help those who were kept OUT of certain places or jobs because of their race but is it time to let everyone play on a level field?
It’s my understanding that some Asian-Americans are being refused college admission because they’re so smart or dedicated that they skew the grade process for so-so students.
??
Scores for SAT tests are skewed. Asians have to score higher then the lower scores of other minorities. Lowest scores for black students, then Hispanic, White, and uppermost scores for Asians.
Low expectations breed underachievers.
Annie’s Mom knows what I’ve been dealing with for the past year with a football team. Everyone of those minority kids have a GPA of 3. and above. No underachievers allowed to play. They’re put on a probation period if their grades aren’t kept up. As a result of that every single one of them are getting scholarships to the most excellent high schools in the area. They also won the Citywide Championship. GO Cougars!!
Hooray, Cougars!! And kudos to Lynn for fighting for them!!
and kudos for your excellent help with them…
Aren’t there two of those real life “gotta get some diversity” AfAm – exclusive-reported stories, ,Jason whathisface from the NYT, and another from Wapo?
One of the NYT editors lost his job over the Jason one.
I’ll have to look it up, but that episode was based on a real life case. The fellow stayed at home and wrote the story instead of going out and investigating as he implied in his reports.
It’s why I don’t trust any “journalist” who uses unnamed sources. Heck, I could fake some salty quotes to move my story to the front page
L&O does takes based on the events in the news. It’s almost boring I got tired of it. On Castle last night the series had a global financial crisis on the horizon because of our huge amount of debt and I was very surprised to see that they almost explained that we are borrowing too much!! Such real news come only embedded in TV shows!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayson_Blair
Jayson Blair, who was, in fact, AfAm, as depicted in the show. I don’t know if the real life Jayson was moved up by affirmative action, but evidently the writers used that angle.
Even Fox is reporting the economic recovery in glowing terms. I don’t listen to the MSM, but am quite sure they are gushing. So, here’s a bit on news on the unemployment numbers from Gallup. Yup, it’s on the rise, again, and mid-month is 9%. We all know these are not the true numbers, as those that give up looking are not included in the statistics. Butt, it will be interesting to see how they spin the numbers.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/152753/unemployment-increases-mid-february.aspx
Is Fox nervous because of the Murdoch stories coming out of London?
Fox has hired a number of Soros-backed liberal “journalists” in the last few months. Murdoch’s son is a rampant liberal and it looks like Fox will be going left as he gains more control. There is also word that Soros has invested in shares in Fox.
We’ve noticed the swing away from Right, too. It’s rumored to be some sort of plea deal concerning the phone hacking case with The Sun.
Judge Napalitano is gone, I don’t watch Fox anymore.
I saw the Judge on one of the shows today giving his opinion on the Affirmative Action case in front of the Supremes.
As for the rest, it’s 50/50 on who to listen to and who you believe. Some of their hired help are definately not conservative and others are still totally on the right.
As for the Murdochs…?? I don’t know what’s going on with them.
Oh? I thought he was let go, or left.
Good to know his opinion is still being heard
This is an interesting article (especially the comments) on Fox…from The American Thinker:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/02/if_fox_fails_us.html
Well, oil is up to $106.00 a barrel, the White House is spinning that one to deflect blame.
The country isn’t satisfied with the way everything is going, only 22% say they are. I don’t care what the LSM says, BO is beatable.
This definitely falls under the category, WTF:

Absolutely hilarious! It’s also on Weasel Zipper, with comments worth stealing.
I don’t get it, expected to see young Lennon cross-dressing
He looks rather slobby, could use a shiny boob belt and a POP of color to complete his ensembles….needs to tidy up his beard and hair too.
Oh my. There’s something about rich, spoiled kids. What a mess.
IMO, John Lennon was a fruitcake and his Oko was a fortune seeker. Not good for the gene pool.
…the usual apt observations. Grats.
Funny how George’s kid turned out okay. He graduated college with a degree in aerodynamics.
ROFL….I can’t believe THAT was not sensored!! The poor kid his head is all messed up, inside and out.
MOOCH must be oh so proud!!!! </sarc

So apparently MOO is so influential now that she can get a dress with a boob belt made into it!!
influential, she says! ahahah! It looks as if they took a second hand dress and cobbled it together in a college design class to make it fit a taller woman.
“Sweet Home Chicago”…….they’ll be going back there soon…BO sings, MO styles….we are so lucky
I thought his “home” was Hawaii ?
How’d those blondes sneak in?
Interesting to see Mooch in natural color.
No, that’s only when he wants to cash in on the Pearl Harbor attacks, or justify paycayshuns there. When he’s trying for street cred, then he’s from Chicago.
We need a BO dictionary styled for whichever audience he is addressing.
sings, dances, doesn’t do a lick of work.
We’ll see him at the airport, busking for spare change, soon.
The WH will rue the day they messed with Granny Jan :
Love it!!!!
5 STARS!!!!!
That is a thing of beauty!! LOL
You go GJ!!
Thanks, Denise! My husband helped me with the lyrics. I only wish I had had help with the singing
I like it very much! It brings to mind their dismal freebie free future when they are no longer useful to the progressives.
Cindy Sheehan now has the IRS running after her due to not paying taxes, not a single progressive out there is helping her. She outlived her usefulness to them.
And all the time we just thought she was looking for a FLOTUS project. /s

So rosy it’s up to 9%.
