Malia and Sasha get dragged through the mud:


Think about the specifics of today's case. The Obama children, of course, are not actually mentioned in the news story. But somebody at the WashTimes thought it made perfect sense to insert the image of the underage White House occupants into a story about murdered kids in Chicago.

And no, this was not an example of an unfortunate juxtaposition, where the the Obama girls photo was actually part of another, more innocuous story and because of a layout quirk simply appeared near the murdered-kids story. Instead, the Obama girls photo was specifically selected to accompany the article.

This is disgusting. With all the anti-Obama rhetoric around, they print this shit.

Worst fugging persons in the world.

3. Maybe it was done to
get attention from the public to actually get people to stand up and force change in the city to crack down on the people killing their children.

4. Perhaps this is the threat being used against Obama. He probably cares less
for his own life, but fears what Cheney and crew would do to his daughters... maybe that's why the photo's are not released. A subtle image hear and there to remind Obama who is in charge and what's at stake.

19. Maybe when Obama finally pushes through single-payer health care
you can finally get the help you so desperately need.

:rofl:
