We had a little warm spell, enough to get the crocuses to sprout. Then it snowed again.

    FLOTUS:’AMERICAN DREAM IS ALIVE IN CHILE
    OK,folks,a little rant here.First,click on the link and you’ll see the cow without her wig looking like a washwoman in her designer bib overalls.She talked about growing up poor in a small apartment and how hard life was for her and purple-lips.Her dad was a machine politician and they had a nice house.She got an affirmative action ride to college,as did her brother.After Jughead cleared the field with some very dirty tricks to get elected senator,she got a gig at UIC hospital and had her salary raised to $312,000 as ‘director of community outreach’.
    Barry’s birth mom came from a well-to-do liberal family and was only on food stamps while she was studying for her doctorate.Barry’s grandmother was a bank VP who sent him to the best private school in Hawaii.His sperm donor’s family lived in a mansion in Kenya complete with sevants and his adoptive father was an oil man in Indonesia.
    These two grifters have been given the greatest honor this country can bestow and they act like they’re entitled to it all.They commit outrages on a daily basis and laugh because they get away with it.She gets off AF1 in flowered shorts and flip flops like a ghetto queen and he never wears a tie unless he has to.
    I thought Clinton and Ms.Cankles were contemptible,and they were.The bunch in there now want the power and perks,but not the responsibility.The depth of disgrace heaped upon this great land by a complicit media and a mind-numbingly ignorant electorate is enough to make me weep and long for the time when you could hold your head up and be proud of living in the greatest country the world has ever known.

    Sorry,I normally post and run,but I had to vent my frustration.I’ll put down the coffee and go now.Have a beautiful day.

    • Good MO rant Pete. Newsbird’s been covering the Latin America “paycation” mostly about the unfortunate choices of fashion the FLOTUS chooses 😦 When she speaks, we cringe. The joke being “Princeton and Harvard owe her a refund” 😀

    Thanks again and again for the Grudge Report, Pete! There’s nothing one could add to your rant, except that in the photo, I once again see a very sad little face on Sasha.

    I have increasingly wondered over the past two years if she isn’t suffering from some kind of emotional neglect or abuse. There are SO many photos where she has that sad not-really-a-smile look, SO many photos where Michelle is fondling Malia, but few where she’s touching Sasha, and way too many photos where Sasha is HANGING on Daddy Dearest.

    My arm chair analysis suggests she’s really hurting, maybe because Malia is tall and slender like her dad while Sasha is short, pudgy and has her mom’s sway back.

    I’ve seen lots of families where the parents dote on the child who is most like the spouse. Sadly, this leaves poor Sasha desperately in need of emotional nurturance, which she should be getting from Daddy Dearest, except there’s no room in his world for anyone but himself.

    I’m also still mega annoyed with these bozo parents who got a totally unsuitable dog supposedly for the girls, but most especially for Sasha who could have really benefited from the unconditional love and furry cuddles of a little dog. If I’d had the decision, I’d have picked a toy poodle or even a teacup poodle for them. They’re hypoallergenic, wonderfully smart and easy to train, small enough to crate and take with them on Air Force One and Marine One, and most importantly, small enough for even little Sasha to walk and train.

    But no. They decide they have to take Ted Kennedy’s cast off, a dog that was RETURNED to the Kennedy kennel by its first owner! He’s cute, I’ll grant you. But they said they wanted a dog for the GIRLS. They said the GIRLS would walk and train it. As if. He’s a high energy breed made for hunting and showing. He’s totally unsuitable for a house full of antiques with limited outdoor space, and much too strong and feisty for even Malia to handle effectively.

    I’ve yet to see a photo of Sasha doing more than tentatively pat him. In the earliest ones, she’s clearly afraid of him. And why not? He could knock her down with one jump!

    • Poor Sasha — it’s no fun being the “ugly little sister” (actually, I think she’s really cute, but as you pointed out, Malia is the tall, slender one, and given Mama’s obsession with childhood obesity, it must make Sasha feel like a real loser). Growing up, I had a big sister who looked like Audrey Hepburn, and it was tiresome (to put it mildly) always listening to everyone rave about how beautiful my sister was. I remember several guys I dated in college who just couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous my sister was… the unspoken subtext being “too bad you don’t look like her.”

    • Chrissy…..remember Obama’s campaign promise to adopt a pound puppy? It won him the endorsement of all the animal welfare groups in the country! Even the Humane Society of the United States put up a webpage so people could thank Obama for promoting rescue. Animal lovers are a pretty significant voting block.

      Flash forward to AFTER the election, we learn one of the girls is allergic to dogs! What a coincidence! Hence, designer dog found by Uncle Teddy.

      The Obamas are not dog people. Except for photo ops. Former Presidential pets always seemed part of the family, like the Bush’s springers and scotties. Crass vs. Class indeed !

      • I remembered that campaign promise, Denise — but I was beginning to wonder if I had imagined it, since they ended up choosing a purebred dog, and no one ever criticized them for it (as would surely have happened if a similar promise had been made by a Republican and then broken). But what I thought was really ridiculous was him naming the dog BO. I’ve known hundreds of dogs and dog owners over the years, but I had never before heard of someone naming his dog after himself. The guy is one pathological narcissist.

          The rescue thing was never a viable option, given Malia’s allergies. I have major experience with this, having been poor and allergic and wanting dogs.

          First off, to be sure, you need to get a purebred from among the small list of known-to-be-hypoallergenic breeds. The only breed on the list that is routinely available for rescue is greyhound and these are adult retired racers with very special problems. I know, because we had one.

          Delightful animals, but they need special care, especially at first, because they are kennel-raised and have lived most of the hours of their lives shut up in crates. I wouldn’t recommend them for first time young people, especially one as young as Sasha. Ours pulled ME over once and I’m what you’d call Rubenesque.

          The rest of the breeds, like poodle, bichon frise, and the one the Obama’s have (Portuguese Water Dog), are only going to show up in a pound if they have massive problems. We tried adopting a toy poodle from the pound, but she turned out to need major surgery we couldn’t afford, so we were forced to return her. I had fallen for her hard and it broke my heart that we couldn’t even afford to have her put to sleep in my arms, but had to take her back to the pound.

          Our next try was a retired breeding bitch from a kennel that approved of us as an adoptive home because we had the greyhound. She also proved to have very difficult problems adjusting from an open kennel where she was Queen Bee to our home where I am Queen Bee. I vowed after that we would never again adopt a kennel-raised dog. They are doggy dogs, not people dogs. Maybe Cesar could manage one, but I can’t.

          We now have two toy poodles we got from a hobby breeder whose bitches and studs are her pets. They’re perfect for us, born into a loving family, handled from birth, raised by us from 9 weeks of age. They have the poodle advantage for my allergies and, since we went to a non-show breeder, their temperaments are excellent for our family.

    Did anyone ever see That’s My Bush which was created by the South Park guys? It was okay – I’ve only seen one episode though, but I’m pretty sure we could do something similar starring a Claire McCaskill type and call it That’s My Claire! Good God, what an idiot. I think I read somewhere that she said there are people she could blame for this, but she won’t. Ummmm…they are YOUR personal property taxes, if you are so clueless about your own personal finances no wonder you are clueless about the country’s. Sorry guys, she came from KC. *hangs head in shame*

    • Can you imagine a “funny” show about the Obamas? Man, with their daily lives, Michelles costumes and gaffes, it would write itself. But he’s hands off to liberal Hollywood and must not be mocked. Even SNL won’t touch him. Though they were pretty rough on Bill and Hillary, Janet Reno and other Dems.
