"My gwampa's a bwackmailer."

Watch it, the thought police are out in force on this thread.

[merry10]

maybe..but photo op for whom?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Yes I LOVE that commercial...... almost as good as the Guinness commercial that says ""Treat St. Patrick's Day like a real holiday."

ROFLMAO........

It's all very simple, she and her illegitimate aunt are about the same age.

You owe me a monitor Mass! Or at the very least some handi-wipes! Great one!

[SevenofNine]

OHH How cuteee

I saw replay on C-Span 2 she is little cute thing too bad who her granddaddy

[beaversmom]

These liberals just can't get out of victim mode, can they? If this guy had been talking about the turn of the century (last century) he may have a point.

[beaversmom]

The proper way to say this in the 21st century is: "My gwampa's an Afwican-Amerwicanmaiwer"

[NRA2BFree]

That little girl is precious, and I'm very glad that President "Boosh" took time to hold her.

[solitas]

Did they sweep her for bombs first? You know what THAT family's like....

[NYCVirago]

I think it's a really cute story. It sounds like the wisest person in the Jackson family is the 3-year-old!

[justshutupandtakeit]

It is absolutely great. Bush obviously loves children and just had to take that little beauty in his arms as would I.
Jesse Jr. said that she thinks Bush is "like Prince Charming." I am impressed that he does not pour his poison in her little ears.

Jessica Jackson: This is a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it! At age 3! <:D

I predict no glass ceiling for her - ever!

[hoosiermama]

Look at those braid, beautifully done.

"You owe me a monitor Mass! Or at the very least some handi-wipes! Great one!"

Thanks. I thought it was pretty funny myself, but got a couple of condemning replies from members of the "thought-police." I'm glad there is at least one other person on FR who has the same sense of humor as me.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Or one at all! lol

[Syncro]

"I think it was a prearranged photo-op."

Yep free you got that one nailed.

Merry10, I can't speak for freedox but I believe it is obvious the "arrangement" for the photo op was instigated by Jackson, but it will backfire on him.

IMO, it will serve GWB much better.

I can't imagine any parent fixing a small child's hair just to make the FATHER look better when she cries for FOUR hours during the process.

I have two baby girls (four and 5 yrs old) that spend a lot of time here and I have to be very gentle when I am brushing their hair.

The don't have the same consideration for me when they are fixing my hair, but what the heck I love them anyway...They are my Pride and Joy.

[Syncro]

I saw it as an excellent post.

Politically it is good to tell the whole story with the truth not being hidden.

Some people here may not know of Jesse Jackson's adulterous past.

And yeah it was funny too...LOL

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thanks Syncro... doesn't this story sound like there is an agenda there somewhere? Why, in an era of Dems VS. Pubs would the Jackson's go to such lengths to "make nice"?

Jesse Jr. is playing this - using his daughter for something...just wait - it will surface......

[freedox]

"Merry10, I can't speak for freedox but I believe it is obvious the "arrangement" for the photo op was instigated by Jackson, but it will backfire on him.

Regardless of whose idea it was originally, the photo op was obviously arranged by Bush's people and for Bush's benefit. The SOTU was Bush's event......security measures were extreme......rules against children were already in place. Had Bush wanted to avoid this altogether, he could have easily done so. Instead, not only was the child allowed to attend, but she was allowed to sit on the aisle where Bush could grab her up in a hug and plant a big kiss on her cheek, knowing that the cameras were rolling. Although I'm sure that Jackson was a more than willing accomplice, this never would have happened without Bush's approval.

(BTW, Sync......got any pictures of yourself after those girls have been working on your hair?)

[Warrior Nurse]

She behaved better than Ted Kennedy and Hildabeast that's for sure!
