#1 How bizarre. It was a nice fisking, if late, but it got me wondering about what a bizarre video the Obama people created in the first place. A new low in American politics.

#2 We are doomed.

#3 I watched some of it. Chinese process to a Khmer Rouge solution. This is frightening in that they are very quietly instructing out kids, still in braces, how to turn against their parents. The next step will be kids divorcing their parents for their political beliefs. This kid would be better served readin Plato's apology and discussing family vs state.

#4 As with abortion, parental notification will not be required under Obamacare for orthodontic procedures.

#5 These kids are the most pampered and spoiled, self-indulgent, narcissistic, little privileged jerks I have ever seen. Wait until the bills start hitting for bail-outs, health care, cap and trade, immigration, institutionalized corruption, seedy politicians, cash for clunkers, housing bailout for the donk/potential donk voters, dumbed down education, etc. No more iPods, games, cars, braces, food that makes you chubby or just food, college, housing, trips to exotic places that your parents can't afford. Go do something useful rather soak up parents hard-earned money. Pick up paper along the roadway to help the environment, turn off your iPod, and lights, volunteer for community service, do something good for your church, join the military (maybe you will grow up). Quit preaching to people and being so friggin arrogant about your stupidity.

Sorry, I got on a rant.

#6 Sorry for the rant. I thought this was about "Fisting Obamalytes."

#7 Time to start yanking some allowances. (Not that it will happen with all these idjits trying to be their kids' friends instead of their parents, but I could hope.)

#8 this is the result of a generation of parents neglecting their responsibilities and letting the state/schools/anyone else do their job of passing values to their children. our ~~schools~~ indoctrination centers have taken over where parents have been complacent or outright negligent.

I home-school my younger son, and have been asked to tutor (in math) an 8th grader by someone at church. turns out the kid cannot perform basic arithmetic at even a 3rd grade level, so no surprise they are struggling with simplifying fractions and basic factoring. issue came to light when parents decided to move the kid to local private school over bullying issues and said school has an entrance exam for admission. the father was flabbergasted at my assertion the johnny could not multiply and got pretty hot. next day he apologized as he quizzed junior and confirmed what i had said. the one thing he kept saying "you go and trust the schools, and this happens... the worst grade (junior) ever brought home was an 86. with almost all A's you don't think there is a problem so why would you think you needed to do anything?"

good grief! kid is 15 and you have no singular idea what they do at school? jeez. never spent enough time with his kid outside of watching American Idol to notice he cant read or add? WTF!! in a nutshell, just wanted to be his buddy, and assumed someone else was taking care of kid learning... grr

#9 This kid would be better served readin Plato's apology and discussing family vs state.

Just wait until these kids are living in an Obamaville tent city eating stewed Opossum or fricasseed Armadillo. With no Internet, Cable TV...etc. Mom & Dad can tell them to thank Obama. A lot of spoiled folks are going to learn some really hard lessons about actions and consequences. If we survive this dipstick, we might come out a stronger nation. I pray!

#10 If I was snotty enough at their age to give my parents "the talk", they would've told me..."There's the door. Let us know how you make out."
The Korean kid looks like he don't miss many meals, and I'm sure Little Miss Braces is covering that nut on her own, right? Obnoxious little pricks deserve a kick in the ass.

#11 Hey - I thought I saw Little Miss Snotty Braces before.

Isn't this her here in this earlier ad - sans braces:

#14 So...since she now has braces I assume she lives in a refrigerator box under the expressway with her family...since she doesn't have health care?

#15 After watching the second video -- good catch, CrazyFool! -- it's clear these kids are professional actors. Not major films, but certainly local advertising. Notice how in the second one Miss Braces looks so firmly into the camera for that long approach shot. Blue Dress Girl likewise. These are not just bratty offspring.

The Obama campaigns aren't taking any chances that random children couldn't drive the message home to the camera.

#16 Children my butt, The only people in that (second) video are all girls. Only girls deserve health care.
