So, after decades of feminist progress, we have Moochelle, Lady Gaga and Beyonce as symbols of female power in the world.
A rich man's wife, a freak and an overrated lounge singer.
You've come a long way baby!

She has power in the sense that as long as she sticks by her man, or at least appears to, they may stay in the White House. But if she told us what was really up with that family, that would be it!

The president is a Jr. so any same-named son of his would be BHO the 3rd.

You’re right. My mistake.

I guess I just don’t see that as the sort of REAL power that would put someone on a list of most powerful people. I mean using the “she sleeps with him” rule would put every wife in the wold on the same list as husbands that have REAL power and that would be rather silly, wouldn’t it?

USING Free Republic as a business platform is fine with you?

USING Free Republic as free advertising for a lame-ass blog is fine with you?

Informative opinion you have there. Very.

You see this all over the place a Free Republic: MSNBC, CBS, LA Times, Drudge, Townhall, websites, blogs, etc. Someone references articles from other sources. Granted there’s a fine line between advertising and providing info.

Now his blog may be lame-ass and maybe it’s not as good as Michelle Malkin’s or Dick Morris’s. But if it’s no good it will go down in flames. I would hate to pass on the great content Freepers find us from all over the place.

Then why wouldn't the blogpimp post that content here?

If the content is the thing, why not show it? Post it?

Why should a blogpimp demand a blog-hit to read it?

FR's audience is MUCH larger than any foolish blog.

The answer is in the ads. Blogpimps get paid per hit.
The pimps want to tease you into clicking on their blogs
in order to increase their hit-count. There is no other reason.

If "getting the message out" was the goal, it would be posted in full here.

The point I was making was that she’s NOT sleeping with him but The Powers That BE want the world to think so!! And that makes her pretty powerful!! She’s there to play a role.

Well, I guess I just don’t follow. Thanks for replying though.
