OK, What's With Those KTM Orange Shoes, Sasha?

Ominous Overture on the O's return from South American tour - the Press noted the "lock-out" at the White House entrance, but the little girl attending daddy on the arrival wore these "messaging" booties with the incredible "LOOK @ ME!" footware.  Keep in mind: this is a pre-adolescent girl in the White House.  Unlike the Bush daughters, these gals have demonstrated "attitude" towards the Dadd-IT-Dude on several occasions.  Something tells me these foot flags are the Agent of Change in the O Range.  "Home; James:" a few hours ahead of schedule, under overcast sky, a study in gray.  Except we know the Obama girls are capable of some sass in reviewing the only male in the family (except for Bo) and how come the dog doesn't show up to welcome his mistresses home? 
Expect this one to blow in on a dirt bike next.

Daughters / Doubters

Next week when President Obama is in China he’s going to hold a “town-hall” meeting with Chinese citizens. Their first question for Obama is expected to be, “Why would anyone have two daughters?”

...   and feigning disinterest.  Boring as per Carol and CNN... as always, mean girls doing what they do.  Hootie, Tootie, (with the lib-elite accent) "13 of 400 some pages devoted to substance."  The women thing and those of us who related to Hillary recognize it:  that second "X" in the DNA having a girls' night.  Do you preserve your dignity, or do you "blend?"  WASP-reared Obama is so much more their speed.

But it's votes, friends.  The Quakers call their wives "Daughter." and embrace all aspects of the Male/Female relationship.  Cultural.  OK, they don't get Alaskans.  They probably don't hunt (except Karen Hughes & Company ridiculing John Kerry resplendent in Mossy Oak) and they certainly don't "CAMP" as do more Americans than all spectator sports combined.  

Let them.  Oprah and company focus on the "Dallas" stuff: fashion, money, jealousy-driven crime... Charlie's Angels stars blew a gasket when Farrah showed up in designer-fitting jeans while they were wearing 'wardrobe' so.... "Who's prettier:  Vanity or Aphrodite?"  Prince fans will remember the competition for "The Artist's" libido...and the radio rock jocks came clean:  "What IS this?  The guy's five feet tall and he's getting laid right and left?  And the women are lining up?

And Gayle.  Oprah, thanks for treating her like another girl,  Barbara: bring on the View.
