HIPPIES

Smug liberal.WHY DOES MICHELLE OBAMA HATE OUR NATION’S PROVIDERS OF TELEVISION ENTERTAINMENT? “She said that she had instituted what she called ‘Camp Obama’ at the White House, which means that the TV and computer stay off all day until after dinner and before bedtime, adding that bed time was early.” It is terribly unpatriotic to prevent one’s children from watching television 16 hours a day in the summer. How else are they going to learn English? [First Read]

Whatever. They speak Muslim at home anyways.

Won’t somebody please think of the children(s television executives)?

Tommmcatt June 23, 2009 at 12:44 pm

I’ll bet she doesn’t allow Captain Crunch or Frankenberry Cereal either.

Sasha and Malia’s mom is mean.

magic titty June 23, 2009 at 12:44 pm

You know where else the teevee and bedtime policy is like this?? Prison.

19kevin8 June 23, 2009 at 12:45 pm

I thought Teevee was God!? Why do the Obama’s hate God? Dammit, I’m having a crisis now.

TV? With their parents’ Poetry Slams, Beyonce Dance Parties and JoBro sleepovers, Sasha and Malia hardly have free time as it is.

Hooray For Anything June 23, 2009 at 12:48 pm

Notice she mentioned tv and the computer but there was nothing about a Wii or Playstation. So, for all we know, Sasha and Malia are spending all their time in the White House playing AC/DC on Rock Band

It’s cause that ‘kill whitey’ tape is going to surface. Any day now…

Gopherit June 23, 2009 at 12:54 pm

She’s turning the whitehouse into a Madrassa! Jeebus save us!

thefrontpage June 23, 2009 at 12:56 pm

But apparenly Rahm Emanuel is constantly posting comments at Wonkette!

boatapple June 23, 2009 at 12:59 pm

I hope they announce that the girls are reading American children’s books, so that Pat Buchanan will have something new to worry about.

MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend June 23, 2009 at 1:01 pm

Just more proof that she hates America.

Geez check out some of the comments over there. I thought MSNBC was the libtard network?

nappyduggs June 23, 2009 at 1:01 pm

[re=345311]magic titty[/re]: yeah they’re “closing Gitmo.” More like relocating it to the White House rumpus room.

Failed 2 Menace June 23, 2009 at 1:02 pm

“Camp Bush” was nearly as strict until Jenna figured out how to turn plain ol’ Jell-O into shooters.

Min June 23, 2009 at 1:04 pm

She’s been talking to my mother, hasn’t she?

hobospacejunkie June 23, 2009 at 1:04 pm

Without teevee in the summer as a kid I never would’ve seen classic shows like Gentle Ben, Gilligan’s Island, Beverly Hillbillies, The Munsters and Batman (WHAM! POW!) M. O. Is a Muslin dictator mom. For shame, America.

bitchincamaro June 23, 2009 at 1:05 pm

Pssst! Sasha & Malia! Youtube on the I-pod under the covers! Use the ear buds!

“And if you get up extra early, you can have a second helping of gorp!”

[re=345334]nappyduggs[/re]: Being a child of the Obamas allows me to understand what it’s like to be be a member of the untouchable caste forced to live by sorting soiled rags on the streets of Calcutta.

Country Club Jihadi June 23, 2009 at 1:09 pm

Uncle Rahm makes sure the kids get to watch Ahmed and Salim cartoons to balance out Hamas Mouse, so it’s all good.

Between weeding the organic arugula, the Arabic lessons, flute practice, volunteering at the soup kitchen, tending to the honeybees, it’s amazing that they have any time to watch television at all. I’ll bet after dinner Michelle is all, “Girls if you haven’t memorized your hobbit taxonomies then you’re not going to be allowed to watch Frontline.”

BlueStateLibtard June 23, 2009 at 1:16 pm

And these will be the only normal-weight children left in America…

Canmon (the Inadequate) June 23, 2009 at 1:26 pm

They’ll just learn English from the TelePrompTer.

Woodwards Friend June 23, 2009 at 1:30 pm

You know who also banned teevee…the Taliban. OBAMA = OSAMA!

Lascauxcaveman June 23, 2009 at 1:32 pm

[re=345341]hobospacejunkie[/re]: I summered where there was no teevee signal, but we had a “HiFi.”

Consequently, my sisters and I know every song lyric to “Magical Mystery Tour” album, “The Who Sell Out,” some old Lennon Sisters’ album and pretty much every major Broadway show produced between 1945 and 1970.

My sisters totally rocked in their rendition of “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” from Fiddler on the Roof.

nappyduggs June 23, 2009 at 1:40 pm

[re=345365]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Is that like “Wifi”[re=345344]sezme[/re]: on reeferz?

[re=345344]sezme[/re]: They can at least blame that on being a third world country- oh, wait.

Monsieur Grumpe June 23, 2009 at 1:43 pm

I was raised by a TeeVee and I turned out pretty good. I’ll be even better when the compact fluorescent lights quit telling me to shave my head. Gaaaaaaaaa!

zenferret June 23, 2009 at 1:44 pm

[re=345333]MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend[/re]: The home of Morning Joe is for libtards?

They got two liberals and a poser. The rest of xxNBC has been hard right since the ’80s.

The Schadenfried PAC June 23, 2009 at 1:47 pm

As a protest, the PUMA will force their kids watch marathons of Sex and the City.

Mr Blifil June 23, 2009 at 1:52 pm

Is it OK if the TV is pointed towards Mecca?

WIDTAP June 23, 2009 at 1:59 pm

This is a dangerous path Michelle has set her children on.

Without TV to occupy their little minds, the kids will be forced to use their imaginations and create entertainment for themselves. They will have to learn to interact with other people and develop face-to-face social skills (unlike the Wonkette social skills needed to keep from being banned).

This will only lead to creativity and mischief. Once you give children this freedom, you can never really pull it back and God knows what these children might do with that freedom.

tunamelt June 23, 2009 at 2:12 pm

OMG, the comments. Are people really that indignant that these kids won’t get to find out about Jon and Kate Plus 8 in real time?

drrty martini June 23, 2009 at 2:26 pm

[re=345410]tunamelt[/re]: I’ll say – those commenters clearly think good parenting consists of forcing their children to watch basic cable while masturbating into Pop Tarts boxes.

Senile Agitation June 23, 2009 at 3:34 pm

However, they are allowed to watch and smirk mirthlessly at Senator Franken on SNL reruns. It unites America!

mrpuma2u June 23, 2009 at 6:32 pm

My no good ex-wife doesn’t have a TV. She hates America and me. Also.

hobospacejunkie June 24, 2009 at 6:02 am

I think it was one of Matt Groening’s creations, possibly Akbar who, many years ago, spoke the truest sentence ever uttered in the English language: TV is the best invention ever invented. As it was, so it shall remain.
