I am not being unfair. I am simply restating exactly what was said on television BY the Obamas. IF they chose to state that they shared in each other's personal interests that would be a different story...however that is NOT what was said.

That's not even a "Dr. Phil" version. I think he would at least ask clarifying questions compared to what CNN did.

CNN and Fox News are chockful of morons...is anyone REALLY surprised?

2010-01-18T08:19:29.326-06:00

Well, I would argue that you're being slightly unfair. The concept is sound, and is very likely detailed in most all of the books you listed at the end of your post - show interest and invest some time in your spouse's hobbies and interests.

Watching it on the news, you're bound to get the oversimplified "Dr. Phil" version of the advice, so yes, it would sound quite inane to a reasonable person. And assuming this came from a sound bite from Michelle Obama, she's going to give a quick and moderately humorous answer to a question like that, as First Ladies do. However, every relationship self-help book, and all marriage counselors will tell you that this is important.

Of course, leave it to CNN to make this look like some sort of grand revelation imparted from the very lips of human wisdom. Morons.

2010-01-17T20:30:49.203-06:00

I was surprised - if my husband was working out with me (unlikely since he's forever skinny & that's what I'd guess Obama is) he'd be watching me, not the TV. I think that's the stuff that keeps us married - he can do football with anyone.

=D Love it.

2010-01-17T15:33:28.742-06:00

So I just need to be up on sports and all my problems will go away?? Things will be perfect?

Good grief, the perfect opportunity to make herself look good, give great advice, and really speak to the women of America and she blows it, sets us back to the freakin stone ages, and totally makes marriage one big joke in the process.

I really hope she is at least smart enough to monitor which shows those girls watch... even the morning preschool shows have to be picked through and rationed. Kids channels are not necessarily kid friendly - what a wasted opportunity. Once again I am greatly disappointed in the Obamas... why does this not surprise me?

Bravo, Mama!

Hi I'm Joan, from Shane's site. I'm so glad you have remembered him and honored his memory.
I love this little boy and have cried for him too.

the link you have for Shane's story I am going to shut down soon and am moving the information here.
http://sites.google.com/site/chilrenstempletepages/God-Bless-Our-Lost-Angels/8-year-old-shane-coffman
since the time I made the page for Shane I had no idea how many children were going to be on my web-site, didn't really know I was making a site, I just wanted to remember these sweet angels that have gone too soon.
Now I have so many children I want them all in one place.
Shane's page isn't attached to my site and I want to make sure he joins the other children there.
Thank you for telling his story and remembering him. There are so many kids that cry for justice.
They need us to be on their side.
They deserve to be heard. God Bless.
( I work from this page, sadly more children are added weekly, if you need anything from those pages your welcome to it)

True that we do not know the truth...however the mudslinging is ridiculous. In the midst of listening to a liberal give a review of Palin's book (and I am NOT a Palin fan) she enjoyed personally attacking her as a person and making fun of her instead of actually giving her opinion ON the book. I have not read the book, I have no plans to read the book, but if I did and was asked to review the book...that means book - not person.

2009-11-18T07:27:26.369-06:00

I would put forth that they are generally one in the same. For every time Palin is called Ava Perone, you have Fox (Hannity) calling Obama an "Uncle Tom" or heralding the tea bag protesters as heros for the modern society while calling gay rights activists "vile rapists of children and animals" (Bill O).

And as I've said many times before - modern media is owned and operated for profit. Their business is making money for investors, not reporting the truth. So long as that happens, we have no truth in media, nor a reasonable way to discern the truth from the exaggerations and opinions. Truthfully, what other sources of info do you have on events from the other side of the world? Not much. Internet chatter, occasionally a neutral reporter will say something. But we have no mechanism to separate the truth from the lies. Mixing liberal lies and conservative lies doesn't give you the truth. And face it, we don't have a good filter to separate the the truth from the lies. We can just do the best we can, but we have to realize that we don't know the truth.

And this is why you are super mom!

2009-10-09T14:05:27.023-05:00

Any argument that the prize was for Obama's accomplishments would be silly. The truth is that the prize is very international, with a strong western influence. This prize was not for Obama, it was for the American electorate.

We had a president who had put us in two wars, and was pushing for military action and even invasion in Iran, and strategic strikes against dozens of targets in N. Korea. There was even consideration about moving into Pakistan in specialized strikes. We then had the choice to continue these policies with McCain, who advocated and often joked about bombing Iran and wanted to destroy facilities in N. Korea, or Obama, who wanted to use diplomacy to attempt to solve these issues. Our election held the fate of policies and decisions of no less than 100 other countries. Most of the rest of the world was literally praying that we wouldn't chose a route that involved expanding our military actions and creating two more wars.

The American people chose the more diplomatic option (for better or worse), and decided to head off the inevitable course to larger wars. The representation of that decision was the election of Obama. Since the prize is given to individuals or small groups, he got it. Even he was absolutely floored and disagreed with it. It's asinine, yes, but that's what the committee decided to do. They do some strange things. Remember, they gave the prize to Yassir Arafat recently.

On your comment about Kayne's mother:

Shortly after the incident, he came into contact with Taylor's mother (not sure of the context of the meeting). Kanye said "she told me what my mother would have told me", but didn't elaborate on what that was.

I can't imagine it was too kind.

2009-09-11T13:25:50.802-05:00

She testifies AGAINST Ms. Drake??? I can't believe this...and to think if she hadn't that little boy could have really been kidnapped, he could have been killed, he could have been used for child pornography. Why in the world, supposing ms drake HAD kidnapped the kid, would she take him to a safer place that same day? Why would she alert the school when the school had no clue to begin with? "Hey, by the way, i've got one of your students, but you can't have him back. I'm taking him to your bosses." I mean SERIOUSLY! And why in God's good pancakes would the mother prosecute the lady that brought her son back, and not the school she trusted that let her down?!

2009-09-09T08:52:34.568-05:00

True, but the stink being raised about this speech really makes conservatives look hypocritical. They praised H.W. Bush and Reagan for such speeches in 1991 and 1988, and Reagan's speech was extremely partisan and political (inflammatory, in fact). Conservative families didn't pull their children from those events. In fact, they praised the event as something all presidents should do, and future leaders should follow the example.

Now, because the shoe is on the other political foot, it's now an imposition for the democratically elected leader of our nation to address our children. Why have the disruption? Why spend the money? Why take the time?

I would submit that your "entire district" would not have boycotted a similar speech by W. Bush, or McCain, had he won the election.
