Marie Obama Continues Wowing The Heartland
— Ace

Selfish?

Barbara Walters, ABC News: "Mrs. Obama, you've recently said something that I thought was very interesting for other women to hear. You said 'you put your own self highest on your priority list.' That sounds selfish?"

Michelle Obama: "No, no, it's practical. It's something that I found I needed to do for quite some time, even before the presidency. And I found it other women, in similar situated balancing career family, trying to do it all and a lot of times we just slip pretty low on our own priority list because we're so busy caring for everyone else. And one of the things that I want to model for my girls is investing in themselves as much as they invest in others."

Perhaps Michelle Obama isn't average. But the average person is selfishly oriented by nature, and so should not reinforce that by subscribing to a doctrine -- a considered, intellectualized manifesto -- of putting oneself first.

That tends to happen naturally. That's why most creeds stress the opposite -- Do for others; put your family first. Because the conscious effort to be selfless is a necessary check for the natural, unconscious, unthinking impulse to put the self first.

But there's a whole strain of feminist thought that declares that women do too much already for their children and husbands, and must consciously force themselves to prioritize their own needs. Not being a woman or a mother, I don't know if there's truth, and that consciously pushing to be more self-oriented is necessary or useful.

All I know is that given that Marie seems to think nothing of His 'n Her private jet flights to Hawaii, just to avoid having to spend another dreaded day of drudgery in the national mansion, her "Me First" philosophy is bearing some fruit, at least. So good for her.

Stop the Tape, Stop the Tape: Isn't her husband campaigning on the idea that the super-rich -- such as Barack and Marie Obama -- have to be less self-oriented and do more, more, more for others?

My goodness, that's not yet another "Do as I say not as I do" thing, is it?

And I guess this is... funny or something?

Not a miserable failure though, because let's face it, she's no elected official.  She just likes to mother hen we foolish sheeple.

15 she is just using feminist agitprop to justify her selfishness and to assuage her liberal guilt for her natural selfishness. IOW: it's okay to be selfish if you are a good feminist and if you feel guilty for it later, but not if you are a greedy rightwing evil 1%er, or some lame objectivist cult member

The first thing I thought of was Gayle Sayer's book "I Am Third".  Ace is right that it's essentially basic human nature to put yourself first.  And yet, somehow the toned-arm-wonder defies thousands of years of survival instincts and has to actively work to do something that anyone else would consider a negative.  I keep thinking that their previous self-centered comment has to be the worst on record, and yet.. they come up with new ones.

 

And she is married to a SCOAMF.

22 I should have highlighted Obama's next sentence, which directly contradicts Michelle's: "We made a virtue of irresponsibility and we need to usher in a new spirit of service and sacrifice and responsibly."

So do we need a new spirit of service and sacrifice and responsibility, or are we already too busy caring for everyone else? What's up with these mixed messages?

Yeah, this one from the previous thread is right up there with "worst on record":


"Barbara Walters, ABC News: "What is your biggest peeve of each other?"

President Obama: "I don't have one."


Walters: "Aww."


Michelle Obama: "My list is too long.'"


some women are never satisfied.

25 I don't understand really how they are thinking.  I mean to fly Bo back for a photo op just seems strange.  "And people are noticing that the arms aren't nearly as toned as they once were and the hair is cut short and combed back not nearly as styled as it once was.  And the glimmer in her eyes just isn't there anymore" (quote from someone's facebook as they worried about her)

27 The role of female caretaker is to put yourself first in a few instances. Your family unit won't survive if the woman isn't physically & mentally taking care of herself first. This does not mean a world-class Spain vaca when a "family friend's" spouse dies. Esp. when that vaca is on the public dime.

The difference between tried and true female caretakers and her? They former doesn't advertise they're so bighearted they have to remind themselves to take some time for themselves.

That's why this quote is full of bullshit.

66 But there's a whole strain of feminist thought that declares that women do too much already for their children and husbands, and must consciously force themselves to prioritize their own needs. Not being a woman or a mother, I don't know if there's truth, and that consciously pushing to be more self-oriented is necessary or useful.

I've often thought that women credit the act or emotion of worrying towards their ledger of stuff they do for others.  Almost exclusively, people (women) worry about others for their own emotional benefit - doesn't really do the object of the worrying much good.  They also imagine that men really enjoy yard work or changing oil or something as if it was a hobby.

There's also a lot of crediting stupid shit like changing the potpourri that men and children don't really care much about. 

But never discount a feminist's desire to drive a wedge between men and women and encourage war against a woman's own little imaginary domestic patriarchy.

78 She says it most clumsily, but there is some truth in it.  Women are raised to do for everyone else.   Yet they are selfishly selfless - they martyr themselves caring for others for some psychic reward as well as natural care-taking impulse;  to feel important and needed.   They then get angry and useless when they wear out.

Better to build in some selfishness,  in the end it balances the other and helps you to give without running out of fuel.

85 This was Ayn Rand's philosophy as well, and one which I generally do not subscribe to. Although I believe that you cannot be happy or fulfilled unless and until you put yourself emotionally and psychologically at the top, it is incumbent upon each of us to be charitable with our time, our love and our money (to the event that we can be).

So, to continue her philsophy to its logical conclusion... anyone who ever served in the Military, is a chump.

Because NO ONE who put themselves first, would ever hazard their ultimate possesion, their LIFE, to protect others, or anything as amorphous as an Ideal.

"Women are raised to do for everyone else."

----------------------

Really? Maybe fifty years ago. Men have always had obligations for others drilled into their heads, and moreso now than ever. Women seem to have a comparatively free ride. Don't want that kid? Abort it. Want to keep it? Get the judge to make the sperm donor pay for it for eighteen years. Have an agonizing choice between your career or staying home with the kids? Men don't even have the choice.  

Most female "obligations" are self-created, like going insane for Christmas.

For an American female to say that women have to think about themselves for a change, well... that's fairly risible.

I love the line in "As Good As It Gets", when Jack Nicholson's character is asked how he writes women so well - "I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."

(This is the part where women say I'm a bitter misogynist loser who just can't get laid. Sorry, happily married for twenty years to a very wonderful and extremely atypical woman.)

152 Found it- President Obama Faults Republican 'Lurch Into Extremes' for DC Gridlock As political gridlock again threatens Washington with government shutdown, President Obama faulted Republicans' election year "lurch into extremes" for keeping compromise out of reach. "You know, you never want to say, 'It's all them,'" Obama said in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Barbara Walters. "But I do think that right now at least, in the Republican Party there are a couple of notions. Number one is that compromise is a dirty word. Number two, anything that Obama's for, we're against." The president pointed to the ongoing fight over Democrats' health care overhaul as an example of what has gone awry, calling out his top two potential Republican challengers for having previously supported elements in his plan. "If I propose a health care bill that is full of Republican ideas -- in fact, is very similar to the law that was passed by the current Republican front runner, or one of the top frontrunners ? the other guy was supportive of many of the ideas as well -- suddenly, they become against it," he said. He was alluding to former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-obama- faults-republican-lurch-extremes-divisiveness-dc/story?id=15163372#.TvTczutOrw5

She voluntarily does everything for everybody, then feels burned out and resentful for being taken advantage of. Her kids who are in their early twenties now are useless human beings who expect someone else to fix everything for them. She doesn't do this because society tells her to, she does this because she has some kind of a lack of self esteem, as if she doesn't think she deserves anything for herself. She has weight problems so that might be part of it.

191 "But there's a whole strain of feminist thought that declares that women do too much already for their children and husbands, and must consciously force themselves to prioritize their own needs. Not being a woman or a mother, I don't know if there's truth, and that consciously pushing to be more self-oriented is necessary or useful." I'm a bit late to the thread, but the answer is that it depends. I'm a wife and mother of two. I have a heck of a lot on my plate between taking care of my kids, my home, and yes my husband as well. Everyone needs something from Mommy, she's always on call (it's a 24-7 job), and there's not a lot of time leftover to get basic things done for myself. So, for me, taking time for myself usually involves bathing and grooming, sleeping, and sitting down to rest for a few minutes or to read or crochet. Just basically taking care of myself minimally and getting a few minutes a day in that are a little relaxing so I can hang on to my sanity. I love my family and I voluntarily took on my responsibilities so I'm not complaining. But yes, I do occasionally need to set a limit on what I do for others (immediate needs and emergencies excepting, of course) or else there is literally no time left for me to do those basic things for myself and I would probably be crazy. The problem with this mantra, though is that a lot of people (women AND men, too actually) take it to mean that they come first, period. Not their needs- like needing to eat or shower or whatever- but their wants. I know a lot of folks that prioritize their own personal pleasure activities ahead of spending time withtheir kids for example. Like one couple I know that regularly has time and money to go out drinking Or take adult mini-vacations but are too busy to go to their kid's school functions or to help with their homework, etc. So, there's a line between taking time for things you need to to and things you want to do. I hope that makes sense.

203 Have an agonizing choice between your career or staying home with the kids? Men don't even have the choice. 

Sure they do--they just have to marry a woman who makes more than they do.  Just because most men refuse to even consider such a thing doesn't mean the option isn't open.

And unless you're a complete fucking idiot, you realize that historically most women never had that choice, either--they could work and help their husband keep food on the table, or they could work because there wasn't a husband keeping food on the table.  Only a tiny fraction of wealthy women have ever had the luxury of not working, except for a brief aberration after WWII.

Her kids go to private school. She has a personal staff of 24 people at her beck and call, including a stylist.

The White House has a personal chef and housekeepers.

She vacations multiple times a year to exotic locations and stays at the best hotels in the world.

Exactly what is all this "doing for others" that is so exhausting for her?

She doesn't cook, she doesn't clean, she doesn't take care of her own kids, she doesn't hold a job.

And yet, she can't wait to tell the world how desperately she need a bit of "me time."

I hate this nasty, lazy, ignorant, self entitled c*nt with the firey intensity of 1000 supernovas. But her and her dickhead husband do manage to make me feel very, very fortunate for the life I've lived.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo (NJconservative) at December 23, 2011 03:16 PM (nEUpB) I am not a fan of the "feminist" thing. Don't get me wrong, I think women were definitely undervalued and some were mistreated in eras past. But when the feminist movement went from equal rights to "women must be exactly like men or else!" is when it went off the frigging rails. I see men and women as complementary and try to conduct myself as such. I know that's really old-fashioned, but it's how I see things. And honestly, my husband works his behind off to make sure we have a home, clothes, food, etc. He leaves at 7:30 in the morning and comes home at 7:30 in the evening. And all that makesit possible for me to be home with our family. The least I can do is give up a little "me time" to make sure things are running right at home.

239 It does not seem to bother women in the slightest that I assume the humble subservient position and our eyes do not meet.

It's strange about customs.  When I was in Germany I kept opening doors for women and they'd just stand there and look at me.  I then learned that, in Germany, it's insisted that the man go in first to make sure it's safe for the woman with him.  A little factoid.

As for our American custom, however, I open the door for every woman.  And I really don't care whether it's appreciated or not.  It's just the right thing to do.

Do all the chivalrous shit. I do. It scores points for my wife with the people who are worth a damn, and it probably annoys the fuck out of the [very few] people who are bothered by it.

I am gleefully sexist around the kind of people who will freak about about traditional male/female gender roles.

The funny thing is that, due to me and my wife's particular work schedules, I'm the primary caregiver for our children. There's nothing traditional about that, but I far prefer to play up my "neanderthal" side because it gets leftists all hot and bothered.

As far as femininsm goes, my wife LOVES that I make no apologies about being a man and behaving as such.

She kind of likes tweaking people with it, too. One of her favorite lines to telephone solicitors is, "My husband makes all of the financial decisions in our household. You'll have to talk to him."

At work it's different. I do not speak to or make eye contact with any female employee unless it's absolutely unavoidable.

At work it's different. I do not speak to or make eye contact with any female employee unless it's absolutely unavoidable. I work for a multibillion dollar energy company with offices from western Canada to southern California to Florida, and the building I work in leads the entire company in total HR actions and complaints.

Posted by: USS Diversity at December 23, 2011 03:32 PM (PddVe)

That was the spookiest thing about the 2008-2009 cult.  The fashion and celebrity crowd KNEW she wasn't attractive even by the standards of political wives, but they had these endless magazine covers.

I thought the literati would at least have respect for themselves in the shallow areas of their expertise.

I see men and women as complementary and try to conduct myself as such.

It's all about showing appreciation for your spouse. It's not a competition to see who's the bigger marytr. You're supposed to be on the same team.

I actually heard an acquaintance's wife knife him  repeatedly with passive aggresive comments about how he's at work all the time and doesn't see his kids enough.

She's a stay at home mom. Her choice. He's at work all the time to accomodate her choice to NOT work. (She used to have a fairly high paying job.) And right now his company is in a rough spot financially. He doesn't have an option. They have to do more with less right now. What's he supposed to do? Quit?

All feminists want to do is air grievances. Fuck that. It starts with being the kind of spouse that your husband or wife wants to come home to.

One of my favorite lines from Dr. Laura is how she described asking a bickering couple this ...

"When was the last time you went out of your way to make your husband feel like a man?"

"And when was the last time you went out of your way to make your wife feel like a woman?"

Brilliant. And I highly recommend her book, The Proper Care And Feeding Of Marriage.

I've always liked my sister's method of handling this. To the kid on the other side of the door who thought he needed her immediate attention she'd ask 'Is there blood? No? Then it can wait.'

For the one who was a bit slow to learn the lesson she once pestered the hell out of him when he was on the pot. She only had to do it once, though.

I'm starting to come around to the idea that the Chicago commies' goal was to get Michelle into the White House, but they knew that she was so repellent as to be unelectable. So they gave her a dimwit cypher as a beard, so she could be the power behind the throne.

Problem is, the beard actually started believing the hype about his "competence".

286 I find the comments about holding a door for women odd....here in Southern Arizona, it seems that every body goes out of the way to hold the door for each other, men, women, kids....maybe the fact that we are still in the Old West in some respects, on the other hand, a goodly portion of us are packing, and that tends to induce a minimum courtesy with strangers. It seems that the few times someone does not hold a door is a tad insulting .jason j, Tuscon

288 There is a reason for that. Remember when the feminists were verbally slapping us men around for opening doors and acting like gentlemen? Well, we do.

One of the characteristics of a gentleman is that you make allowance for fools and less cultured people. If women act silly and selfish, you step aside and let them, then go on being a gentleman. The key characteristic of honor is doing the right thing whatever it costs you.

290 I gotta say I know a lot of women who burn the candle at both ends (not me) and put themselves dead last;  a bad idea, as they end up taken for granted,  and when they neglect themselves they get thrown overboard.  The insurance policy of being needed doesn't pay out.  No one likes a martyr.  And the truth is it's not always selfless -  it's done partly to control others through obligation.  Paying attention to health, appearance, getting enough rest, saying no to more than you can handle - it's important to have anything to give really.  I mean, REALLY give.

Someone mentioned women getting off scott-free with an unintended pregnancy.  My personal point of view is that women never get off scott free in ANY pregnancy - they always have skin in the game.

But if my view hasn't made you to irritated to keep reading,  there's a point I'd like to make about induced abortions -  the option has almost become an OBLIGATION.    I think you'll find plenty of stories of women who end a pregnancy not because they personally want to,  but because they have other people's needs in mind.  Some people actually advocate for laws against induced abortion not to make women who really want them not get them,  as the practice will surely continue,  but to stop anyone from telling them it's the right thing to do.

292 She says it most clumsily, but there is some truth in it.  Women are raised to do for everyone else.   Yet they are selfishly selfless - they martyr themselves caring for others for some psychic reward as well as natural care-taking impulse;  to feel important and needed.   They then get angry and useless when they wear out.

Yeah, other than the multiple vacations, huge shopping sprees and the nannies, drivers, cooks, servants and her mother to help out, Michelle has it really rough.  My heart bleeds for her and the sacrifices she makes for everyone else.

*************

No "probably" about it.  For 10 years after they leave the WH, the Obamas will have taxpayer-funded Secret Service protection.  For the rest of his miserable life, Obama will have  taxpayer-funded offices from which to conduct his ex-presidential business (not that he'll be doing anything more strenuous than cashing huge checks for reading speeches to groups of idiots).  Clinton's offices cost the taxpayers more than a million dollars a year in rent, and you know Obama will want to top that.  The Obamas will be living large off U.S. taxpayers for the rest of their lives.
