Michelle Obama Watch

First, I totally agree that it’s inappropriate and second, the response is absolutely crazy-making. How can they possibly deny a link? That is like continuing to assert that the invasion of Iraq was justified. Couldn’t we please begin to exist in reality? Everyone? TY needs some kind of intervention.

a few days ago one of their spokespeople said the dolls were absolutely based on the obama girls, and now that people are a little creeped out that they’re not only trying to make a buck off the girls, but that they’ve gone and given a 7 and 10 year old breasts in the doll version, they’ve done a complete 180. these folks are made of all kinds of stupid. and yes michelle is absolutely right, and anybody that criticizes her for finding it inappropriate isn’t doing so on the actual merits of the issue but rather on how they feel about michelle or the obamas in general. these are kids, who didn’t get to choose who their parents are nor the life that they have; those who think it’s somehow open season on them now have got issues.

I thought the dolls were a cute idea, and then I thought, I wouldn’t want any dolls resembling my children. At the end of the day, these are HER children, and she doesn’t want to exploit them. If young exploited children is what you like, there are plenty of Miley Cyrus dolls.

Then for the company to later lie and say they didn’t make the dolls in the likeness of the girls is crazy. People make mistakes, making dolls in the likeness of people without permission is a mistake. Instead of owning up to it, TY started to lie and try and avoid dealing with their mistakes. These girls are too young to try and take on iconic status. I hope their mom is able to shield them from this type of exploitation in the future.

You know what? This incident proves me and many others wrong that underestimated the mom-in-chief position for the first few months of their life in WH. She really needs time to get the hang of it with such people.

So many young black girls need a positive image, and your daughters represent that at this time. Perhaps you could work with this company to receive profits due, and produce other positive images of black girls. Personally, I think it was a compliment to use your daughters in such a positive way (sweet Sasha and marvelous Malia). I love it! At least this company did not have Malia and Sasha looking like the Bratz dolls which are very similar to the look of hip hop/rap music videos.

What First Lady Michelle Obama should be concerned about is having artists like Beyonce and her thug husband Jay-Z anywhere near her daughters. To allow Beyonce to perform at their first dance was foolish. Why not allow the great Etta James the honors of doing that performance, not a booty shaking artists with no talent. Beyonce’s image is horrible for her girls to be exposed to. Your daughters could represent the opposite image of a Beyonce.
Use your energies as First Lady to correct the image of young black girls by denouncing hip hop/rap music and the culture.

To MICKEY, for your information, Ms. Etta James was to be in attendance; but due to her illness, she couldn’t attend. Check your information before writing a negative comment about someone.

And it doesn’t make a difference if Beyonce and Jay-Z were invited. They just were and again check out information because if you know anything you should check out the work that Mr. and Mrs. Carter do besides rap and sing.

And for the dolls, that was done totally for profit purposes, and the money that they do make off those dolls, should go to the Obamas favorite charities. Then we will know for sure if the dolls were for the sake of the beautiful names or for marketing.

Thank you and have a blessed day.
