Big Guy with his Red Queen at the Black Congressional Caucus Dinner
“The last election was a changing of the guard - now we need to guard the change.”
Isn’t it just like Big Guy? Keeping the Dream alive at the Black Congressional Caucus Awards dinner last night:
Which Dream might that be? Martin Luther King’s Dream?
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation were they will not be judge by the color of their skin but by the content of their character ."
Uh, no, not that one. The other one; where women and minorities are perpetual victims of “rich white people” in America.
Feeling your pain…
He reminded his audience last night that keeping control out of the hands of the Republicans (rich white people) is as important as the grassroots efforts that drove the civil rights movement; that making sure rich white people don’t get the keys back is equivalent to integrating schools and doing away with Jim Crow laws.
“Everything we’re for, our opponents have spent two years fighting against...They’ve said no to unemployment insurance. No to middle class tax cuts. No to small business loans. No we can’t. That’s their motto.”
So, hot on the heels of his post-partisan speech to the Hispanic Congressional Caucus ("But don't forget who is standing with you, and who is standing against you. ... ) Big Guy once again exhorted his troops to pull together, because Republicans (rich white people) have "a plan to turn back the clock on all the progress we’ve made."
Curiously, The Christian Science Monitor just released a report which indicates that Big Guy has actually impaired race relations since he took office! Go figure: we finally elect our first Black, post-racial, post partisan President, and people are still unhappy! Boy, we just can’t win with the hand we’ve been dealt.
So, the O’s have studied the situation and decided to change it up a little. We’re returning to a game plan we’re familiar with: one where we can always play to our strong suit, and we always have our trump card to play. So, signing off from the Big White, where we’ll remain strong, fighting to keep our Dream alive - right through till November.
Here’s Big Guy last night, telling the troops why we have to keep the limo we rode in on:

ReplyDeleteI think the USA "melting pot" has developed a major crack.
Moo's breast enhancers seem a bit uneven in this gown. One side is bigger than the other. Kinda like her eyes. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteWith her hair in this style, she is the exact replica of her ma, as far as her face goes.
It's a pretty gown, but it just makes her look ginormus with all that flowing fabric. And makes Barry look very slight.
Too bad she can't find a happy medium between balloning and too-tight gowns.
Maybe Barry is organizing us into comunities: Black community, white community,etc.
ReplyDeleteThe funny part is that now his actions come across as desparate. Going to church, explaining to the black community why (under his administration) blacks are suffering the most, explaining to legal latino caucuses why he feels Arizona is criminal, etc. Every move on his part screems "Wait!!!I am the won you were waiting for", but the people he is saying all of his lies to, know they have to go back and try to sell his crap to their people, and they know it is impossible.
The people finally see the emperor has no clothes-and Moo has way too many clothes.
They are going to an Episcopal Church? How did they pick this particular church?
ReplyDeleteObama must be hurting if his advisers made him drag his sorry ass out of bed on a Sunday to attend a mainsteam church. His daughters will be confused by the lack of pulpit humping (yeah, I said "humping" and not "thumping.)
I wonder if Michelle will be able to control herself during the service. They probably shot her up with extra botox to paralyze her face muscles.
Barry couldn't organize a trip to the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteShe looks as if she's auditioning for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. But I don't think the parade organizers need a big red baloon with billowing skirts.
ReplyDeleteof course, another photo-op! Who, may I ask, is falling for this? We already all know this family does not attend church unless it is politically convenient.
ReplyDeleteDoes she know that she can send someone out to buy deodorant that dries clear?
ReplyDeleteThe church is across the street from the WH. Maybe he got sick of praying by blackberry.
ReplyDeleteThe supposed 'Great Unifier' is at it again; and this time he is playing 'divide and conquer'. Shocking!
ReplyDeleteTo church this morning in the Hillbuzz "cat pee sofa" Thakoon dress in another kitchen curtain fabric - too tight, too short, and later bundled into an oversized (knit?) jacket that is entirely wrong for the dress. The kind of jacket with big collar that one would wear with pants.

1. I like the dress. Don't like the hair. That hair flap hanging over her face reminds me of something, but I can't yet remember what. Could it be Hitler?
ReplyDelete2. Has she toned the arms? Looking quite muscular in the waving photo. I'd think all the waving and windmilling that she does would keep those muscles built up.
3. Church -- why are the two older MOs wearing dueling bad prints? Sausage is smiling, nice to see, and she's the one next to her Dad for once.
4. Obama belongs between his two fellow race-baiters, Jackson and Sharpton. He's a pea in that pod.
5. BO still acts as if he hasn't been in office for nearly 2 years. Do you think he'll still be playing the race card and blaming Bush when he leaves office in 2012? Why do I bother asking? We know the answer is yes.
Obamas go to church? Oh please spare me the bs.
ReplyDeleteI can see November from my house and apparently so do the Obamas. ;)
The dress is really very nice it covers a lot of "stuff" the hair I'm not so sure. Is her hair the hairnet look she had when she visited the Spanish royalty?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the sofa dress but this dress seems new to me as is the jacket. I have to keep track for my next video, 2010 from the red gown to New Year's... MOO clothes video. A dirty job but someone has to do it.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading Mark Twain lately. I do it every few years. One of his stories is Puddin'head Wilson. In the story a young slave woman is portrayed as looking like a white woman, to the point that a gentleman tipped his hat to her on the street. She is only partly black, but that part is enough to maintain her status as a slave.
ReplyDeleteThe point that Twain was trying to make, that we modern-day folk tend to not see, is that very few people are truly any particular "type". We may identify with some particular branch of our racial tree, but in most cases we are generally quite a mixture. In my childhood, I knew a few people who were one-quarter Native American. It is hard to find any, now, that are more than one-sixteenth.
I have been pondering this, and wonder if any of you have thoughts on this: Wouldn't it be far better to not have anything in this country that distinguishes any race? That is, do away with the Indian Reservations, with questionnaires asking which race you identify with, with any sort of quotas based on a person's supposed race. Freedom should mean freedom from being put into pigeonholes, and freedom to take responsibility for ourselves as simple human beings.
In essence, we are all "Mixed Blood". Our Dear Leader, if what I read is correct, is really only a small fraction "black" on his father's side. I would rather aspire towards Martin Luther King Jr.'s statement, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Therefore, we do not like BO, not because he is black, but because he is BO.
The gossip around the internets is did MOO have her hair cut? Apparently, they don't read MOTUS but wighat's can be cut and stlyed, too.
ReplyDeleteYou mean politically "necessary", right?
ReplyDeleteYou mean like a color blind society?
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice thought, I'm all for it but the race baiters will not stand for it.
There are people who enjoy being victims.
Could be a haircut/wigcut but I would have to see the back.
ReplyDeleteAn Episcopal Church? He really IS a Christian! I don't know why I doubted it.
ReplyDeleteMO had a smile when leaving the church, but now away from the church grounds, she is angry. Hummm

aaaacckkk. Yes she looks like a man, and yes her gross-looking armpits would frighten small children.
ReplyDelete"Pea in that pod". So true.
ReplyDelete<p><span>Keep racism hope alive.</span></p>
ReplyDeleteKeep (racism - strike that!) hope alive!
ReplyDeleteYou're right; it is the Thakoon. The color looks lighter and no bow:
ReplyDeletePerhaps the sermon was not to her liking. Too...white or not Obama-adoring enough or too Christian or ....heck, what differnce does it make because IT WASN'T ABOUT HER!!
ReplyDeleteI never understood why the race question was put on forms. What difference does it really make when applying for anything? We have lots of native Americans-Indians-up here in upper Michigan. I don't know why they live on reservations. They have their own licence plates, police, etc. Due to casinos, they are pretty well off financially.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she's angry photographers showed up for the photo op?
ReplyDeleteI like her in that red dress actually. I think the color and cut are suitable for her and the occasion,
Gone to Church? Too little too late! It just stinks of more BOMO subterfuge and bullshyt.
ReplyDeleteAt least devotion to God and worship should be above political expediency. Sorry, I forgot who I was talking about. BO threw his grandmother (someone actually helped raise him when his dad and then this mom abandoned him) under the bus to save his own skin.
ReplyDeleteThe MSM/pundits were deeply concerned when the polls showed a significant percentage of Americans thought BO is muslim. And going to bat for him, they told BO that he should go to church to counter it; more precisely be seen going to church. So he is just following their advice.
Problem is, not too many people will fall for his not too subtle "messaging" They never found/attended church (other than rare instances like day after inauguration) since leaving Reverend Wright's church. Now suddenly they want to be seen as a devout, churchgoing family? Good luck with that! If anything it might have a backlash: in reminding people of the 20 plus years they sat in that other church. Or at the very least make the O's seem very cynical and no one wants to feel like they've been had.
The red dress, from what I can see, looks good and appears to fit except length. Motus, can you make Her see that you don't hold up formal gowns to walk on level surfaces.
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is so wrong. She looks like I do when I throw any old jacket over my nightgown so that I can run out and pick up the newspaper. Granted that's something only a lazy slob would do.
ReplyDeleteBut I am non First Lady of the United States.
MOTUS! You did a great job with the dress! MO has now worn four dresses that actually make her look dynamite. That's an average of about 1 every 6 months.
ReplyDeleteGreat work. Maybe she'll learn from this.
.....nah.
The color appears to be pink - the cat pee sofa dress was....well, shades of "yellow" and ochre. She tacked on bows in those days - tacked them on everything. Red silk too-tight UN suit, purple suit jacket, and on and on. Her thang along with the godawful brooches.

ReplyDeleteShe's really scraping the bottom for fashion inspiration now.
ReplyDeleteIf you can stand to plow through mrs-o.org, you can find every durn thing she has worn, though photos chosen are always flattering. There are also occasional commercials for the company that provides a lot of the brooches and other expensive junque jewelry.
ReplyDeleteI doubt that Thakoon has gone back and cranked out another of these awful dresses (she wore a black and red print silk that was similar in cut when he won the nomination) - Ikram may have sent her several - fleet discount?

I thought the same. The red dress is actualy flattering, but when it has to be held up like that when walking, it's a bit too long.
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with Malaria's church ensemble? A print dress and a clashing print sweater...she must have dressed in the dark or slept in until the last minute and grabbed whatever was handy.
Also, it's after Labor Day and the Wee Wons and FFA are still wearing summery frocks to church?!? Yet, it was chilly enough for sweaters. Not very seasonally appropriate.
He had to do something to counterract the increasing Muslim talk.
ReplyDeleteThey look like they're going to a hanging. Booooooooooored.

Great job, as always, MOTUS!!
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks mostly good...but then, it's all relative. After the sprayed on latex disaster, almost anything would be an improvement.
I can't believe how huge her lower half is. She must have gained a whole axe handle across the beam over the summer. And viewed from the side...YIKES!
One thing we forget to put in the 'drinking game' (and it would have been a winner) was 'back fat'!
She's oozing over the top of the dress. The trouble with Belly Bandits and clothes that 'cinch' is the stuff has to go SOMEWHERE.
Of course, she wouldn't notice it in MOTUS, because it's behind her, along with all that junk in the trunk.
An Episcopal church? Isn't that the denomination of rich white Republicans?
ReplyDeleteThe red dress from last night was a high point for MO. She actually looked good in it. The color was great on her skin tone. Even the full, billowing, flowy skirt covered up and/or downplayed her problem areas. And wisely she didn't ruin it with too much jewelry, like brooches or stacks of bracelets. It wasn't too revealing and we didn't have to see her greasy legs. Even the cut the dress the higher waist and the halter-like meckline was flattering and made her look more feminine.
ReplyDeleteCredit where credit is due, I suppose. Goes to show if she tries she can dress appropriately for the occasion and her station, and people are not left cringing.
Caveats: Though her arms look more toned she should refrain from lifting them so high. Because her triceps are still flappy and revealing the arm pit (even a shaved one this time) is not a good look . Also her new wighat was not the best. From the side it looked okay. But from the front not so much; the sweeping front bang was too long for the length of the rest of the hair. And the shorter hair does not flatter the shape of her face as the longer styles do.
You are right Janice. Though that would put the Dems and most of the so called Progressives out of 'business'. They would be left with the poor vs. rich in the us vs. them game they love to play. But it is not as much fun as the race/ ethnic card/baiting game they seem to love even more.
ReplyDeleteFrom one "lazy slob" to another; Nightgowns and jammies are appropriate attire to pick up the newspaper in the morning. Hair styling and house slippers are optional at that time, also. IMO.
ReplyDeleteLook at his pants in the first picture. All that static and wrinkling. Is it pantyhose, as Newsbird thinks? And don't miss the white underarm blob. Stay classy, folks

ReplyDeleteThis is my thought exactly, Anonymouse. He's such a reactionary.
ReplyDeleteI think she'd better begin having her pits waxed, daily.
ReplyDeleteOh Dear God! Malaria has begun picking up FFA's bad dress habits; horrible print for a young girl and a sweater that is totally wrong. Both unit 1 and 2 look very unhappy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she is channeling the church lady with the jacket/ sweater. The dress, of course, is a mess. On the other hand she goes all the way suburban churchy with the double strand of pearls. So the overall look is totally incoherent. Nothing goes with anything else. as it is often the case with MO's choices, but she probably thinks she looks great. Judge for yourself:
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she has an entire shelf full of wighats in varying styles in the closet.
ReplyDelete<p>Do you see a similarity between the sweater on the Tall Wee Won and the oil-spill themed top MO wore to commiserate with the Louisiana oil spill victims? YES! It is a twinset, and it belongs to Tall Wee Won. Which partially explains why all of MO's clothes seem to be way too small - she's robbing her daughter's closet. (BTW, Tall Wee Won even buttons it the way MO does, but with her reed-thin frame, it almost works.)
ReplyDelete</p><p>
</p><p>But, you realize that you know who is dressing the lasses - yes, the ghastly taste is not necessarily genetic, but it is being passed down.
</p><p>
</p><p>MO has always dressed inappropriately for the seasons. She wears three layered long-sleeve cardigans in the summer, and bares the arms in January. So, if you are the Sun in your own solar system, the seasons change to match your mood, I guess.
</p>
Yes, when race baiting begins to wear thin, they pick up the class warfare sthick. But they love the professional victim card wherever they can find it.
ReplyDeleteActually, a political emergency....and they think we can't see through their reasoning...too bad he didn't go to a mosque, and let the girls go to church..covering his bases, so to speak. Oh, brother.
ReplyDeleteand she should NEVER, EVER show her pits...she should ALWAYS wear sleeves!!!! OR learn to wave demurely...fat chance.
ReplyDeleteI am for a color-blind society but one where we honor the differences between races. The creator did not make us all alike for a reason...just as each flower is different. No two daisys are alike and isn't it wonderful that we have gardenias, roses, hydrangas, etc.? That is what "Black is Beautiful" in the ideal tried to instill in the '60's. Be proud of your race, culture, etc., but be part of the great whole. All human beings but each exemplying and appreciating the differences God gave us. I certainly wouldn't want a "beige" society. Booooorrrrrring.
ReplyDeleteMalaria has that cow (or is it oil spill) sweater on with a matronly flower print. Poor thing.
ReplyDeleteEver notice how ackward the kissy face/air kiss ritual they do is; with BO looking the most uncomfortable? Almost like he'd rather be anywhere else, doing anything but this! Seeing that they are putting on a show, shouldn't he at least try a bit harder to make it look more realistic?
ReplyDeleteWell, I certainly wouldn't classify any of her ensembles as "dynamite". The red frock came close to looking alright...however as someone up thread noted, it did make her look even more massive...expecially standing next to her anorexic husband.
ReplyDeleteRight you are about the upper muffin top.

That gold dress was the best ever - she should have worn it at the Inaugural Ball instead of that thing that had the cotton balls stuck all over it.
But, YMMV. Maybe she needed to throw on that teal blue argyle cardigan to snazz it up a bit. You know what I mean!!!
Heaven knows what they had to do to it. I saw a closeup - at HuffPoo - one time. Intricate carved design. A royal motif from a special batik (reserved only for Thai royals, as I recall) that his mother Stanley Ann adored, collected, and wore. Looked kind of like a serpent. Anyway, I wouldn't know where to begin to chop into that thing and make it smaller.

I certainly hope when the Os were in church today, there was a sermon on the "do not covet" commandment. I really think he needs to re-think that one a bit. After all he is "coveting" other people's wealth for his special interest friends. His greed is making people poorer who were poor to begin with. His destruction of the middle class can be seen as greed and avarice (a deadly sin) His non-attendance at church, unless politically expedient, must fall in another category of hypocrisy. Just sayin.......
ReplyDeleteWell, after a night of partying, MOO can hardly be happy with having to make an early Sunday service. I'm sure Axelrod laid down the law to the O's after "Carla's book leaked and threatened to take down the "Dem's "secret weapon" for the election.
ReplyDeleteMOO probably looked like she was moving her lips in silent prayer during the service, but I bet she was cussing out Carla.
No one in the msm will touch this, but it must be obvious even to them.
ReplyDeleteThis article appeared in today's Los Angeles Times Image section, a very slim section on "fashion". Written by someone who is purported to be MOO's makeup artist. It will give you a chuckle. Unfortunately the online version doesn't include the makeup artist's photo, which revealed one little eye just like MOO's - but the left eye.

ReplyDeleteI read that he picked out the intricate design of the ring which is too ornate for a man. I've know BHO is gay and my opinion on that has only strengthened over time. I think it's another thing about BHO that the elites know about but have an understanding to keep a lid on it, an understanding no republican would ever get.
Thanks Anonymouse, that was interesting. So BO got a unique regal looking wedding band. Why am not surprised?
ReplyDeleteBut surely, even such an intricate ring can be repaired (or let's be honest, resized) by SOMEBODY here in the US. Don't tell me they had to send it to Thailand for it to be done. Also the resizing only affects the narrower end of the band, which unless it is an eternity band, does not have the same design.
No.4 Au contraire. Remember when Jackson stage whispered that he wanted to cut off Mr. Bojangles' nuts?
ReplyDeleteOr did you mean he sat down between them to pee?
Faded in the laundry?
ReplyDeleteShe must really know how to compensate for the little eye in that case.
ReplyDeleteUh-oh. Whenever clothing colors look "faded" look again. The entire photo has probably been "faded".

Bobbie,
ReplyDeleteI read about that too, at Drudge. All the advantages the O's choice, St. John's Episcopal Church:
-Its proximity; it is across the street from the WH (they just had to close down one street-not sure for how long-to accomodate them)
-It is politically active, as seen above.
-It seems to be politically correct too going by the passage (Matt 6:24) the sermon was based on: you serve both God and money.
Just perfect!
Yesterday, the WH Flickr account posted some new BHO pics. I've always thought the photog posted pics that made BHO arrogant and effete. The new pics are no exception:
ReplyDeletePensive, Pompous and Petrified?
ReplyDeleteBut it DOES look like the same pattern.
ReplyDeleteFausta, perhaps you should send the link to the White House!
ReplyDeleteI suspect a lot of the photos are flattering because they have been photoshopped.
ReplyDeleteThose white stripes down the front look like pieces that were inserted to make the dress meet across the front. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteMalaria is wearing the double-print impression of the oil spill.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten the castration incident. But race-baiters know how to bury the hatchet in the interest of buring the hatchet in whitey.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to give my race on any forms or questionnaires. I resent the constant dividing of us by race and then the constant discussion of race awareness. We are all Americans. Only the race baiters and the professional social workers who go for grants benefit from the constant division.
ReplyDeleteA new trend that I have observed is the "disporportionate" arguments, e.g., "blacks are hired in numbers disproportionate to their population as a whole." This needs to be fought at all costs -- it is the argument that everything is a pie and every race SHOULD be given a slice according to its population.
I am guessing that the red dress is what she imagines that she achieves with the boob belts. She thinks a wide belt under the breasts creates a line similar to a fitted bodice. How wrong she is.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they're waiting for him to toss down some more greaseburgers and ice cream and grow back into it?
ReplyDeleteThat's what it looked like when I made my Ken and Barbie doll kiss -- faces together, absolutely wooden body language.
ReplyDeleteAwww, poor Barry! How come the UK/European mags get all the juicy scoops. The MSM on this side of the pond seem to be too afraid to probe, dig deeper or even ask questions. Unless it is Republicans of course, (especially conservative women) then everything is fair game.
ReplyDeleteI like this dress on her, too. But as for her being able to dress well if she wants, we have a saying here -- "Even a blind pig sometimes finds a nut."
ReplyDeleteJulilou is right. I sailed right by Bobbie's earlier post. Could not get the reposted links to work, but here is the note from St. John's church bulletin about today's speaker:
ReplyDelete<span><span>September 19, 2010</span></span>
<span><span>Prospects for the Two-State Solution the Middle East, Part I</span></span><span><span>. Speaker: Ziad Asali, M.D., Founder and President, American Task Force on Palestine</span></span>
Now that is pretty interesting.
What does MO's wedding ring look like? Is it as special as The One's?
ReplyDeleteWhat is with the chin in the air thing? Does his neck hurt?
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny because I was reading the thread about the church visit on Free Republic and someone joked it must have been a pro-Palestinian event. LOL, it turns out to be true. BHO is such a scumbag.
ReplyDeleteChain smokin' can do that to you, too.
ReplyDeleteThere it is...the reason for 'church' attendance. And I just thought it was for pre-Nov. damage control. The truth will out.
ReplyDeleteGranny Jan and Anonymouse: Thank God for blogers. The leftist media would never report this.
ReplyDelete>:o
And here I thought thed most 'transparent' WH had a tight leash on their official photographer Peter Sousa and the 'optics' they deemed fit to be put out there; making sure they fell in line with the overall 'messaging'. They must be slipping!
ReplyDeleteOn the board of that ATFP: Former Chicago friend of both Obamas, radical Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi, and - whoa! - Tareq Salahi, who supposedly crashed the state dinner for the president of India with his wife, eventually costing Desiree Rogers her job.
ReplyDeleteIs their web tangled or what?
I just posted to Juliou to not worry about the multiple posts. It's an Echo problem that Raj is working on with them. And my post went poof!
ReplyDeleteCoke?? HIV?? even though today there are excellent drugs for it.
ReplyDeleteThat explains a lot.
ReplyDeletet's The Crying Game every night, for sure.
ReplyDeletePlease, Anon, let's not look too close. We've been pretty successful in our meme that this one time MO looks good. Let's not push our denial too much, it'll collapse in on itself like a dying star.
ReplyDeleteannona,
ReplyDeleteNot sure what her original wedding ring looked like; though it was supposed to a yellow gold one. I remember because some blogs made a big deal her not wearing her wedding ring/band for the inaugural ball because she wore a huge cocktail ring in platinum on her left middle finger and she didn't want the different colors to clash.
BO apparently bought her a new wedding band in rhodium with diamonds, which cost $30,000 right after he was elected 'prez' (not sure if her engagement ring got a similar 'upgrade' ). Here's what her current wedding ring looks like:
Oh MOTUS amd MOLs it has been rumored there is a new designer MO is just dying to *friend*. She has been looking at one dress in particular which incorporates all the *hope and change* of our Dear Leader BO and his many followers of the Liberal persuasion.
ReplyDeleteDidn't she wear those Mexican man-hole cover earrings just the other night?
ReplyDeleteAt least she took off the voodoo bone bracelets.
That red screams LOOOOOKKKKK AAAATTTTMMMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
I'm so embarassed by her. She hates being first lady - yeah, right bitch.
Anonymouse, I think what you might be seeing are 'watermarks' on the photo.
ReplyDeleteThat that she wouldn't love a horizontal striped version if she could find one.
All BO's Palestinian connections (many of them with radical Islamic views) were swept under the carpet by the MSM starting with the Presidential election. No wonder he dissed Netanyahu and is so Anti-Isreal and Pro Islam.
ReplyDeleteHere are some of BO's friends:
http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/3602
This memorable picture of the O's was actually taken at an Arab community event in Chicago in 1998:
That was taken at a going away party for their pal Rashid Khalidi and his wife Mona, personal friends and described soulmates and "mentors" of both Obamas. Obama gave a toast to Rashid and his wife that was later deemed to be so potentially damaging that the Los Angeles Times has never released it. (How it came into the Times's possession is a ?) Rashid Khalidi is a radical Palestinian activist.
ReplyDeleteAny Search - Google or otherwise - will turn up information on Khalidi and his activities.
Her present engagement ring is a fair-sized diamond solitaire.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the farewell party at which the photo was taken was in 2003.
ReplyDeleteThis photo gives me the creeps:
ReplyDeleteI agree, Gran! :-P
ReplyDeleteThat was a wonderful article, Clarice. MOLs, MODs, FOMs definitely worth checking out!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen an almost teenage girl hold her dad's hand all the time in public. Are the O's making the kids do that as part of the loving family act?
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same thing. I've seen enough photos to know Malia wants to hold his hand and maybe even institgated it. She was nuzzling him big time when they left Martha's Vineyard. I thought at the time that the girls weren't going to New Orleans but they were.
ReplyDeleteIt's a family dynamic that doesn't include Michelle whom I believe BHO never loved but married out of political expediency. BHO needs constant attention and approval and Malia has picked up on that.
Isn't Malia only 12?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's sexual on his part. His interests lie elsewhere. But it might be an unhealthy relationship mentally.
It looks like he's dependent on Malia in some ways. I'm sure he's made himself bigger than life to his kids to ensure the proper worship from them.
This is all speculation, of course, but I do get vibes about him based on what I read and what I see. I've been following him closely for almost 3 years now.
Thanks :-D
ReplyDeleteBarack INSANE Obama and First Wookie are mocking the American people with this church event. As usual!
ReplyDeleteRu Paul should be consulted to beautify Moochelle. Does Barack have AIDS? Even with makeup and photoshopping, he still looks deathly.
The red dress reminded me of those Gone With The Wind scenes where they hang onto a bedpost while Mammy laces them up. The midriff portion looks cast in stone, doubtful anyone could bend over in that..But it's better than most, it seems to force her to stand up straighter. Sorry, but all the plastic work, fillers, fake hair, eyelashes etc..she's still a sow's ear trying to be a silk purse. Aside from her race, whatever did he see in her ?
