Today is President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama’s wedding anniversary. Congrats to them, they represent our nation well.

‘During the school year, no TV, no computers during the school week. Only on weekends,’ Michelle Obama told Women’s Health magazine’s October 2009 issue.

And with television kept to a weekend-only minimum, that leaves time for the family of four to share an evening meal.

‘Dad’s office is just downstairs, and it’s rare that we don’t have dinner together. No matter what’s going on, he sets aside that time,’ Michelle said of husband President Barack Obama. ‘Dinner time is at 6:30 PM, and he comes in, we sit down.’

You know who else denied their kids TV?

Mrs. Stalin.

Obama arrives in UK ahead of G20

US President Barack Obama has arrived in the UK for his first major foreign trip since taking office in January.

Mr Obama’s first stop is London where he is to attend the G20 summit hosted by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

He will also join leaders at a Nato summit on the French-German border and visit the Czech Republic and Turkey.

Much is riding on the trip, says BBC North America editor Justin Webb, as the US is seen by other nations as the catalyst for global economic recovery.

Now, of course, Mrs. Obama is doing the thing First Ladies have done from time immemorial, drawing vital media and public attention to issues they think need to be highlighted. Laura Bush did it, Hillary Clinton did it, Barbara Bush did it, etc.

There’s really nothing new here. But I guess Henderson has her Politico b.s. quota to fill so she’s got to write a story (always critical of the Obamas, as the Politico does) to whip up questions that nobody besides congressional bobos like Darrel Issa are asking.

People like Nia-Malika Henderson make me cheer for the oncoming death of the mainstream media to happen in double time.

Then again, we know the Obamas are more exotic *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* than the Clintons.

First daughters Malia and Sasha Obama got a big surprise after school Wednesday: a brand-new swing set.

They squealed with delight upon seeing it, a spokeswoman for the first lady said.

President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, went to work while the girls were at school, having the set installed on the south grounds of the White House within sight of the Oval Office, where their father spends plenty of time.

So here’s the thing (because during this campaign I’m apparently learning that we black people have our own secret code and hand signals so this stuff has to be explained like you are speaking to a child at times), using the phrase “baby mama” to describe this woman implies that like too many people in the black community, she is a mother on her own with no man around doing his job.

Except, Barack and Michelle Obama are the exact opposite of this, and that is one of the reason America – especially black America – are so proud of them.

But Fox News is the network that tears down those who do not toe the line, and if that means they should resort to jive to describe a black woman as a “baby mama” despite the strength of her family and her own personal success, so be it.

Screw you guys.
