This is the difference between Republicans and Democrats: Republicans want leaders who inspire them to be better, to work towards moral and behavioral ideals and who are constant reminders of what's good about America. Democrats want leaders who tell them it's okay to fall short, to celebrate character flaws as if they were desirable personal goals and who are constant reminders of personal and societal dysfunction.
And ye shall know them by the public images they choose to display:
This one image alone should put a dead stop to any comparison between World-Famous Fashion Icon and Busy Mom Michelle Obama™ and Jackie Kennedy. Here is your first lady posing for Vogue magazine during the time she spent at the Hay-Adams hotel in Washington DC before the inaguration. Can you imagine Jackie sprawled out ass end up, hair tucked behind her shoulder, looking more like a clothed Playboy pictorial than a fashion spread?
Here is the leader of the free world setting an example for youngsters by sucking down suds while sitting shoulder to shoulder with small children at a basketball game in February. He's America's Coolest President Ever! How does this guy spend so much time out and about the town? What do first daughters Malaria and Sashay do while their parents choose to spend their free evenings out and about in DC?
52% of American voters asked for it, but 100% of Americans have to suffer from it. When you say Obama, you've said it all.
I would note that Ronald Reagan never entered the Oval Office without wearing a jacket and tie. Obama has repeatedly been photographed sans jacket and sometimes tie as if the Oval Office was where you hung out after work.

God knows I love to drink (a LOT), but it does seem just a weeeensy bit inappropriate to see the Prez sucking down a cold one with a bunch of kids.
I read that they're going to Camp David again this weekend. They just can't waste the money fast enough, can they?
I hope their parties and travel puts an end to this nonsense about Bush always being on vacation.

I was listening to something Dennis Miller was saying tonight and it finally became very clear... all the kiddies in this country LUV the Obama because he's just like them... He doesn't want to be an adult! As if there is something wrong with it. As if he might have to take charge and - DO STUFF! ACK!!!
Looks like he and Shelly don't wanna be grownups, they wanna be teens in charge. *sigh*
