Obamas set parenting example.

Post by Rod »

Just read this and was utterly amazed at the hold this empty suit has on America.

At least ONE person is less enamored of him. The money quote is at the end (naturally) of the article
The tendency to look to famous people for parenting advice is natural, especially in recent decades, when families often live geographically further away from their natural role models - their own parents - than in the past, said Jennifer Dubose, a marriage and family therapist and parenting columnist for Chicago Parent magazine.

But Dubose cautioned that, as with any celebrity, people should not fall into the habit of unfairly judging themselves based on the images we see in the media.

"They look wonderfully shiny, clean and bright," Dubose said of the Obamas. "They look like a wonderful family and frankly, they may well be. But who knows what happens when the cameras aren't rolling and the doors are closed?"
one can be a Democrat, or one can choose to be an American.

When they put the kids in government school instead of a private one, maybe I'll give him a little credit.
Buy ammunition and magazines.

Understand the sentiment but let's turn that a 180. Try this...

When they behind vouchers, charter schools and allowing the "little people" to have some choices for their kids too.
