#2 Well, some cults anathamise birthday presents: Jehovah's Witnesses and Muslims. Of course, Barack Hussein isn't one of those.

#3 I've no problem with this. No doubt the girls get plenty of gifts from grandparents anyway, not to mention all the Barbie dolls and sparkly nail polish brought by little birthday party guests. I respect the parents for choosing not to overwhelm the girls with even more packages with fancy paper and ribbon, just because they can afford to pile packages under the Christmas tree.

#4 OK.

The Obamas don't spoil their kids.

Good for them. Big woop.

#5 I've no problem with it in theory, but in practice, I think it can lead to problems. And in this case the problems are suffered by the little ones.

In a society, you've got to go along with a certain amount of the cultural practices or find yourself on the fringes. The good thing about us is that we allow pretty wide margins for the fringes. But that doesn't mean we have to pick our leader from there. This will hurt the Obamessiah. Not immediately, but cumulatively with the normal sort who don't bother to make up their minds till the last minute but end up deciding the election. The ones who think those on the fringes are a bit too odd.

That's only because they're not old enough to vote yet. The Chicago way is the dead, not the under aged, yet.

#7 That should be the motto of Chicago seal: Morti te votant!

#8 he did "the house and car repairs,

I don't think checking the oil counts as car repair. Let's see him change the front brakes pads, then I'll be impressed.

#12 brakes pads - no a valve job might impress me.
Brake pads are an awful pain that many do.

#13 "Doing the car repairs" = dropping it off at the dealer

#14 Somehow I suspect The Obamessiah gets the dealer's courtesy pick-up and delivery.

#15 Doesnt' give Christmas Presents?

Is he a Jehovah's Witness?

Or is he of the mind that Christmas is a "white man's holiday"?

#16 Sorry, front brakes pads are pretty easy to do. Replacing turn signal lamps in the newer cars, however, is not.

#17 Do the ball joints on a 20-year-old clunker for one of the kids. That would impress me. Do it without the proper wrenches and sockets, and you'll REALLY impress me.
