Getting to know the Obamas, on their terms
L.A. Times ^ | 4/20/09 | Peter Wallsten and Faye Fiore

Posted on 04/20/2009 9:31:52 AM PDT by Nachum

Reporting from Washington — In the short time Americans have come to know their new first family, they've learned that the president doesn't want a puppy sleeping on his bed, the girls hate green veggies but at least one loves peanut butter, and the first lady believes her husband should stay out of her closet.

Like a reality show set on the glorified soundstage at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., the details of one family's life have captivated the country -- if not the world -- making the Obamas seem within reach, an ordinary family that just happens to be living an extraordinary existence.

Sounds like irrelevant information that the American citizen needs to know.

Let’s distract the folks with worthless trivia so they won’t think about important things - like the National debt and a government that has turned on half of its citizens!!

Kosmic Kitty, I think this government has turned on ALL of the citizens; one half just doesn’t realize it yet.

Its really hard to believe that the Obama’s got a dog, when they already had the media.

TV shows that spend 30% to 50% OF THE TIME TELLING OVER AND OVER ... WHAT IS COMING NEXT, AND THEN AGaIN, WHAT IS COMING NEXT, ETC.

IT HAS CREATED 1 MINUTE OF SOME NEWS TIDBIT AND WAIT ... COMING UP NEXT IS (oooopppppssss! sorry for the CAPS) ... Brad Pitt or some such nonsense. Oprah's show pushing books and New Age Religion, .

Very few shows have much content. So we are definitely conditioned to watch the pretty colors; and the changing characters, presenting the content via ...the seeming hyper action the TV puts before our eyes.

We are almost in a stupor or trance often... So watching the Obamas is just one more stupefying nonsense. No one hardly notices. It would be funny if it weren't so sad a truth.

The Wa-Po had a boot-licking fest about how the obama daughters are all the rage in Washington.

I didn't care about Amy Carter, Ron Reagan, the Bush daughters, and nor do I care about the obama progeny.

I just wish all children the best, even if they have commie facist American-hating parents.

the first lady believes her husband should stay out of her closet.
Finally, someone saying obama should come out of the closet! I knew he was gay!

So, it takes the LA Times and not one but TWO news reporters to tell us the most important fact of the past months: Obama’s girls don’t like vegetables?

Wow! I never knew that! How could we survive without such vital information!

And Bo won’t be allowed on the Messiah’s bed. Well, of course not. Muslims must keep a proper distance from dogs. It would not be halal for Bo to get up on his bed. He would have to be decapitated, and Obama would have to be purified, and that might not go over well with the LA Times.

This just goes to show you how racist the liberal media truly is. They wouldn’t be near as surprised or fawning if this were a white family.

Chin up! This all may be just an exercise program from God to build up our patriotic and faith muscles!

I feel stronger already! :)
