[Disclaimer: I have never seen the movie ‘Mean Girls,’ but I got the gist of it from Wikipedia.]
Over Thanksgiving, a minor Republican staffer criticized the Royal Daughters (Princess Malia and Princess Sasha) for what she felt was a lack of appropriate decorum at the White House Turkey pardoning. (FWIW, I think eye-rolling and smirking is a completely appropriate way to respond to that idiotic annual ritual.) The MFM went completely bonkers at the criticism of the Royal Daughters. NBC’s Today Show made the ‘scandal’ their top news story. The Washington Post assigned a foreign affairs correspondent to dig through the Republican staffer’s old college newspaper columns in hopes of finding more “dirt.” And this was after the staffer apologized and resigned.
In short, a minor Republican staffer’s criticism of the behavior of the daughter’s of the president received more media attention and resources than the US National Debt surpassing $18 Billion or any of Obama’s abuses of executive power. Also, attacking George W Bush or Sarah Palin’s daughters… fair game. Criticism of the Emperor’s Daughters… Don’t you dare!
The journalistic media establishment operates as a middle school clique, with a mission to protect those inside the clique and belittle, bully, and ostracize those outside of it. They won’t cover the debt because that’s like doing math… BO-RING. But destroying one of the unpopular girls… that’s fun and cool.

Well we could say that Gruber called O-Holes little hoes stupid in the 7 videos that showed him saying Americans who supported O-Holecare are stupid. Maybe that would get Marxist Stream Media to cover it.
Obviously a minor typographical error, but you left a bit over $982000000000 off of the Debt value.
Wow, I did it to. Make that $17982000000000.

The whole “don’t go after the kids” thing has a little * beside it and when you read the fine print it says “unless their parents are republicans.
The media and the left are the worlds biggest hypocrits.
If the White House uses “the kids” as human-props at an official WH photo-op, then I humbly submit they’re fair-game for criticism of their behavior at that photo-op. If the children of the POTUS are off-limits, they should be kept off-camera.
And neither of the Obama-spawn will ever match the incomparable Alice Roosevelt.
The day she was ousted from her job a black football player posted a pic of Malia Obama with her huge bottom as its emphasis and asked, “when is her prom?”
Obviously he’d like to be the guy who takes her.
No outcry.
No demand he lose his job.
He’s the ”right” hue.
As a side note, check out Mean Girls sometime! It’s pretty decent as far as comedy goes. I believe it was either Tina Fey’s first film (writing) or one of her early ones. It’s non-political from what I remember, and holds up as a next-generation classic after the 80s Hughes movies.
