Talk about two lame ducks - Shriver and Obama. They can control their families, but that can't run the state/nation without piling up so much debt that they have to cut off little services to the people like education and welfare.

Watch what happens in California in the coming weeks liberals. What you see there will be happening across the country soon too, because both are just as broke as the other. And it will be on tv too.

You have to figure the Obama's don't want their kids to see what an oaf their father looks like on tv without a teleprompter.

Michelle and Barack only let the girls watch Matthews and Olbermann. After that, what else is there? Well, maybe a little PBS with Bill Moyers.

"Camp Obama" - seeing the Obama's know nothing about the military, you just know boot camp consists of roasting marshamallows and singing Kumbaya, just like the military does in Iraq.

Michelle does let the kids watch Letterman so they can hear all the Sarah Palin jokes. Michelle hates Sarah.

My kids will actually watch politics and speeches with us. My daughter was as plugged into the election as I was. But she loves her some Hannah Montana and Zach and Cody. All things in moderation.

I am not black, so I can’t speak to why blacks don’t like him. I don’t like him because he is worse than a puppet on a string. My main objection to him is that when in a position of authority, he abused that authority. He was degrading to subordinate women who had the misfortune of needing their jobs so badly they couldn’t report his offenses. And when he was called upon to tell the truth about his offenses under oath, he refused to do so. And even further than that, he allowed Anita Hill to be vilified. He showed me that he is at best a Coward and at worst a dishonest snake willing to let an innocent victim of his ‘sense of humor’ take additional crap by his party. To have him sit on the highest court and hear cases such as Lilly Ledbetter’s and have him return the rote, party line of how it might retrospectively affect commerce (those he actually represents), well as a woman that sickens me. I am sure we can find commendable things about all human beings; but we can’t just magically erase those offenses that personally affect us. I see an opportunity to remind people that Clarence Thomas and John McCain made their infamous ‘indiscretions’ (inappropriate office humor and Keating Five scandals) while they were in their 50’s. We aren’t talking youthful indiscretions; but rather entitled character flaws that come from not being held accountable for their actions.

To turn your argument on its head, why does the right wing hate Sonia Sotamayor? Isn’t hers also a ‘classic’ American story?

BoBo the Prez — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:38:56 GMT

What - turn the TV's off

The Lefties will suffer BoBo withdrawls.

However, it is kind of funny that Maria Shriver is going to blame Obama for it.

"I'm sorry children, you cant watch Sponge Bob Square pants because BoBo the Clown Prez said so."

Maybe everyone in California should sell their TV's to pay the huge deficit they have.

Actually, Maria Shriver is probably kissing up to Michelle in the hopes that she will persuade BoBo to give California a few spare billions. See, Maria Shriver knows who is running the Big House.

Wow, more assinine teleprompter nonsense. Is that really the best you have to offer in the way of criticism? You have to be #12,408, you cannot be original?

Answer me this. What difference does it make if the speech is read off a teleprompter or off pages on the podium in front of him? Does it really matter? Does it? Oh, wait, don't tell you are so incredibly naive that you believe all the presidents of the past actually memorized every speech before they gave it?

How can someone say the Obama's know nothing about the military? Everyone in this country knows "something" about the military..and Obama is the head of it now!duh! You people really need to get a grip and stop hating. Kids need to read more and stay off video games too. That is why they are so well adjusted, they aren't allowed to do whatever they want.

Wow, so all this hate because the children's television viewing and computer use is being monitored! Where are YOUR kids, people, and how fat are they (and you?). And I for one would LOVE to see "mandatory" volunteering and service by everyone. We would be a better society for it.

I cannot believe all of the negative posts on this. The Obama's have demonstrated that they are concerned, involved parents. More parents need to turn off the TV. What is so wrong with this?? Now turning off the TV is SOCIALISM???

Wow, I never thought I would hear a bunch of hard core conservatives mock parents that believe in limiting their childrens exposure to excessive television/computers/video games. How embarrassed I am to be a Republican that was taught these same standards by James Dobson, Charles Stanley and other good conservative that preached family values.

I suppose that when you have nothing constructive to say why not mock positive values, that should be entertaining for about 20seconds.

This is just more celebrity president crap to distract the masses from their misery. Unemployment over 10%, gas over $3/gal, manufacturing sector in worst slump since end of WWII. Hey, Hope and Change is here.

The people and the press must hold Obama accountable. The “Blame Bush For Everything” excuse is wearing thin. Both Democrats AND Republicans owe the American people some answers on where the over one trillion dollar TARP and stimulus money has gone.
It has been almost 8 months since Paulson and crew told us if we don’t allocate this money immediately there will be another Great Depression. Well? We are in the deepest recession since the early 80’s. Transparency my ass, Obama is a total fraud.

Jealousy runs deep in your character. If only we had more families like the Obama family in this country it would be the fantastic country it used to be, especially BEFORE the Bush “Gang”.

Of all the statements sent in only one understands that american children watch far too much television and that the obama girls are well behaved. As for their father, the President. The man has been in office (5) months and people expect him to correct all of the failures of the last (8) years in that short space of time. Where were these people while Bush was screwing up the country? If these nay-sayers wanted to involve themselves in making this country better they would e-mail, twitter their congress person or senator and ask them to agree with a public option for health care. After all what the Repugnants are saying about this option is a lie, and their ads might as well be describing private health care. It amazes me how ignorant and ready to listen to naysayers who are rich and do no give a damn about the average person in this country are even listening to these apathetic people and believing every word. I bet when these "law-makers" get together they laugh about how gullible most americans are. None of you deserve a president that cares and is willing to do all he can to make things better. Just keep going along with the status quo, sit on your lazy butts and complain when you are doing absolutely NOTHING to make things better!
