Yeah this was just too frickin’ cute, wasn’t it? Perhaps six-year-old kids can be programmed to break out in this kind of daddy-love, in the future, on Mars, but for now, this is kind of awesome. [Gawker]

Thirty years ago, it was called ‘kids say the darndest things’

AnnieGetYourFun August 26, 2008 at 1:40 am

Good god, but I still melt a bit when that man smiles.

dilhavarti August 26, 2008 at 1:41 am

Kids are the new beanie babies.

villageatrois August 26, 2008 at 1:44 am

“Hey babies. I’m in Kansas City or St. Louis or some place in Missouri. With the Gallardos. See em with me? We had some great food, and I was sooooo hungry. Great munchies too while we watched mom on teevee.”

Could someone pleeeease get the girls some of those kitten-ear hair thingies? With those pics, we could melt the last glacier and this global warming debate would be over.

SpecialHorse August 26, 2008 at 1:48 am

I hate the republicans enough that this seems cute and not even remotely contrived. And even if it was, good for those little girls. They are awesome.

AnnieGetYourFun August 26, 2008 at 1:50 am

[re=69652]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Oooh, the ol’ “if you can’t beat ‘em, drown ‘em” move. Me likey.

Wagamuffin August 26, 2008 at 1:52 am

We are witnessing the Huxtable-ization of the Presidency. Next thing you know he’s going to show up in a cardigan.

The kids are cute, though I think the youngest is going to be the one we’ll be reading about who jumps out of the Lincoln Bedroom window (like so many young women before her???) and sneaks off with her secret Secret Service boyfriend during Dad’s second term. Cliff…er…Barry will chastize her severely,she’ll pout for awhile, but then everyone will meet in the White House kitchen and make chocolate chip cookies.

Michelle did a hell of a job tonight. Full props.

AxmxZ August 26, 2008 at 1:54 am

[re=69656]Wagamuffin[/re]: Dude, the youngest one’s going to be jailbait all the way through the second term. Secret Servive better keep they hands to theyselves.

SayItWithWookies August 26, 2008 at 1:57 am

[re=69655]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Yeah if we’d had that kind of cuteness four years ago, the “counting every vote” thing would’ve been moot in Florida.

AnnieGetYourFun August 26, 2008 at 1:57 am

[re=69656]Wagamuffin[/re]: Not a cardigan. An ugly sweater, with huge swaths of embroidered weirdness and odd geometric patterns.

AxmxZ August 26, 2008 at 1:58 am

Prediction: Sasha will be part deux of the family dynasty. She has all the makings of a star politician already: charming as hell and a microphone hog. Biden spawn better watch out!

PeteJayhawk v2.0 August 26, 2008 at 2:04 am

Entire fucking staff’s in Denver…and Hunter Thompson’s ass squirt plops up a YouTube video. Tres Bien, Kenny.

Outstando August 26, 2008 at 2:04 am

I know this is exciting, but let’s not get carried away. Just wait until McCain’s first wife tells the heartwarming story of how McCain abandoned her so that he could marry that rich beer heiress.

AnnieGetYourFun August 26, 2008 at 2:05 am

[re=69658]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I wonder if there’s a future of younger presidents with adorable munchkins because of this? If people had believed that Kerry were capable, ever, of reproducing… things might have turned out different.

Say what you will, though, about the Bush administration – the good thing about them is that they have turned every single Republican that I know towards the Power of Light and Hope. Honestly, the meanest old bastards I know are all voting Obama, so totally horrified are they by Bush and everything his party now stands for.

Wagamuffin August 26, 2008 at 2:05 am

[re=69657]AxmxZ[/re]: Yah, like that’s stopped them before…ask Amy Carter. OK, then, her boyfriend is the son of her Secret Service guy. He asks her to the Georgetown Junior Prom, but Cliff..er Barry…has a strict 10pm curfew policy for his precocious 15 year-old. Hillarity ensues, and Michelle steps in with Madeline Albright (starring as kindly Auntie Maddie), and a peaceful resolution is eventually brokered. Sasha is allowed to stay out till 10:30, the troops are brought home and everyone ends up in Kansas City or St. Loius making chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen.

Wagamuffin August 26, 2008 at 2:08 am

[re=69659]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Yes! Me like! Think of the one he would wear for his Christmas time Fireside Chat…

Outstando August 26, 2008 at 2:12 am

Anyone have a good “I hate you Daddy” clip we can mash up with some of McMean’s more callous quotes?

jerryw August 26, 2008 at 2:16 am

Michelle is the Hillary I could/ would have voted for.
Simple as that, it’s going to be her in 2016.

Of course as with everything else, this is good news for John McCain. Now everyone knows that Barry’s the one who has fathered black children. Everyone one knows it’s ok to lay with a negress occasionally, but you don’t impregnate her and then parade the little colored babies around! That’s just un-American and I think our Founding Father’s are rolling over in their graves. Especially, Thomas Jefferson. You didn’t see him doing no shit like that! No sir, TJ knew the game.

stolichnayaaa August 26, 2008 at 2:25 am

It all looks like some strange Nickelodeon gameshow. I was waiting for everyone to put on goggles and dive into a kiddie pool full of banana pudding.

AxmxZ August 26, 2008 at 2:58 am

[re=69677]stolichnayaaa[/re]: Barack covered in banana pudding? I’d hit it.

mattbolt August 26, 2008 at 3:02 am

Hey, cameraman, Hopey was trying to get the point across to you that you were supposed to pan over and show the mysterious family. How the hell am I supposed to visualize the smiling white people on the couch now?

Volumptuous August 26, 2008 at 3:42 am

I almost want to have black kids now.

llyn August 26, 2008 at 3:53 am

[re=69666]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Where do you live? I ask because I’m dying to know where there are mean old Republicans planning to vote for Obama.

pattycake August 26, 2008 at 4:00 am

I love little black girls, but I can never finish a whole one by myself.

Jukesgrrl August 26, 2008 at 4:13 am

Let that little one keep the gavel all week. She could run a more exciting party than Aunt Nancy.

AngryBlakGuy August 26, 2008 at 7:03 am

…if that kind of cuteness could be bottled and sold then we would have cute addicts on every corner.

sorry Barry but I’m gonna have to jump ship

Sasha/Malia ’08!!!

Delicious August 26, 2008 at 7:04 am

I was so confused last night. First, I wasn’t really watching the convention. I was watching a compelling Discovery Channel show about what it was like to be inside the Twin Towers with dramatic re-enactments – damn you Saddam! We’ll chase you to the Gates of Hell!…Anyway, after that ended I watched some of the Michelle speech, then the kids saying what they were told to say. Afterward, Keith Olbermann kept announcing “Case Closed! Case Closed!” Then I switch to Fox and Bill Kristol was smirking and saying “Didn’t do much for me.”…Damn, I should watch PBS, but I need swift affirmation of what I believe is happening or should be happening….then I passed out from too much drinking.

AngryBlakGuy August 26, 2008 at 7:09 am

…WoW, Shuster and Scarborough are really going at it this morning. Please tell me this is going to be on the inter-tubes!?!?!?!

Servo August 26, 2008 at 7:16 am

The Obama girls helped my trauma from Jimmy Carter’s ‘Terminator’ eye.

chapka August 26, 2008 at 7:19 am

Can someone explain this CNN comment on the speech to me from their convention “report card”?

“Is it the dress or what’s in it? Michelle Obama covered the key milestones but the image of her in a cocktail dress left us wondering. B.”

I’ve figured out the “Leslie Sanchez is a political hack” part, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what it is she’s meant to be wondering about. Is it that only hoors wear cocktail dresses and a real American Woman would have worn a burqa and a Holly Hobby apron?

AngryBlakGuy August 26, 2008 at 7:33 am

…all we have to do is get them to lip sync the Chinese national anthem!

Godless Liberal * August 26, 2008 at 7:46 am

That was the most blatantly staged performance you could have seen last night outside of Broadway, and damned if it wasn’t the most adorable thing ever. I love them all.

Canmon (the Inadequate) August 26, 2008 at 7:57 am

“Daddy, what city are you in, St. Louis or Kansas City?”

V572625694 August 26, 2008 at 8:00 am

Yes those kids are cute, but let’s not panda-baby out on this. Remember what that was like?

V572625694 August 26, 2008 at 8:01 am

But Michelle…wow.

Godless Liberal * August 26, 2008 at 8:04 am

Is it racist to say that black kids are way cuter than their white counterparts?

If Sasha and Malia had been Dakota and McKenzie, I would have wanted them shot for doing what they did.

AngryBlakGuy August 26, 2008 at 8:25 am

[re=69726]Godless Liberal *[/re]: …as a black man I can say that I have seen some truly ugly black children. I mean children so ugly that if this was the middle ages they would have been left in the alone in the wilderness. Children so ugly you wouldn’t let your kids play with them because the ugly might rub off. Children so ugly that if ugly was a crime they would have a 12 count indictment at birth. Children so ugly that only a mother could love them and she would need to blind in both eyes. All that being said all races of children have the potential to be cute, just as long as half their DNA is from an Obama!

P.S.
My niece is pretty high
on the cuteness scale!

Larry McAwful August 26, 2008 at 8:31 am

First George W. Bush starts a rumor about John McCain having fathered black children, and then he does the same thing to Barack Obama. But it turns out the rumor about Obama is true! Maybe this means that Bush was right about John McCain? This calls for investigation.

[re=69692]llyn[/re]: I know lots of mean old Republicans in MO (but in St. Louis, not Kansas City – everyone I know in KC was a Dem to begin with, since apparently being black in MO does that to you for some odd reason) voting for Obama…so AnnieGetYourFun is quite right, there’s a whole bunch of them.

DoctorCulturae August 26, 2008 at 9:06 am

I offer this as The Snark Antidote. Whenever the snark gets too thick (can there be such a thing?) play this clip.

Undeniable proof is that Bill “Please-someone-help-me-write-my-column” Kristol said it didn’t do anything to him. Clearly his soul was stolen by Bleens from the planet Cryptoid Z12jr #2 and is being held in the Black Hole galaxy until the Great Awakening.

Monsieur Grumpe August 26, 2008 at 9:06 am

Awwwwwwwww. So cute. I’m getting my vasectomy reversed tomorrow.

Doglessliberal August 26, 2008 at 9:32 am

I want these people in the White House so badly hurts. If WALNUTS! wins, well, I don’t even want to imagine how I will feel. The White House needs adorable Obamunchkins running up and down the halls. It just does.

SuperRounder August 26, 2008 at 9:34 am

As great as Michelle was (I can’t mention how hot she looked in that dress enough) she was blown off stage with the first “Hi Daddy!”

medievalist August 26, 2008 at 9:35 am

[re=69739]DoctorCulturae[/re]: Yeah, it’s funny that we need confirmation that Kristol is not only a complete idiot but also a soulless piece of dog turd. Bit there you go, confirmation.

Michelle rocked last night.

Last night on Tonight:

Man…I wonder if the GOP confab will last either five and a half years or 911 days…

TGY August 26, 2008 at 9:47 am

Awwww, dey’re so CAYUUUUUUTE!

Ahem. Anyway.

DoctorCulturae August 26, 2008 at 9:47 am

[re=69755]medievalist[/re]: Correct. The populace needs that confirmation because the MSM won’t “pay attention to the man behind the curtain” who, (to mix as many metaphors as possible) is not wearing any clothes.

The Demtards (everyone EXCEPT Hopesman for obvious reasons) would be wise to go with Bidens “Restore America’s Soul” meme.

Canuckledragger August 26, 2008 at 9:50 am

I, for one, welcome our new Cute Overloads.

[re=69673]jerryw[/re]: Odd you should mention that, because at one point last night the Mrs. and I turned to each other and simultaneously said, “My God, it’s the Clintons all over again,” in that after Hopey’s second term, his missus will stand/run for the nomination. Only Michey will win.

BTW: Found a great sedative last night. With the fourth Stoli, I swallowed a pair of CalMag horsecaps, passed out in minutes and slept like the dead. Drunk and anesthetized is WAY better than just plain old drunk. Try it, y’all. Feed Big Herbal, not Big Pharma.
