— 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?

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.

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?
Posted by: JohnJ at December 23, 2011 10:15 AM (Tt6ky)
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.

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.

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.)

"And so during the course of these discussions with congressional leaders, what IÂ’ve tried to emphasize is we have a unique opportunity to do something big. We have a chance to stabilize AmericaÂ’s finances for a decade, for 15 years or 20 years, if weÂ’re willing to seize the moment.
Now, what that would require would be some shared sacrifice and a balanced approach that says, “We’re going to make significant cuts in domestic spending.”"

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.

Wait ...
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.

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.
Posted by: Soona at December 23, 2011 11:33 AM (omxDZ)
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."

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.

Worse is the video where Babwa Wawa asks them which trait they dislike most in themselves and others.
President Pizza Party says his own laziness and when others are cruel.
First Lady Moochelle doesn't mention any personal failings, but gets very, very angry when others "won't compromise."
Yeah, okay. What a convenient answer. How nicely it fits into the narrative you're trying to create about the GOP House.

Nope. She isn't. She knows it pisses us off. But I'm convinced that she thinks that it's owed to her. This is social justice.

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".

What do you want me to do, get down on my knees and beg you to vote for Perry? We've attacked every candidate that has threatened to beat Perry in Iowa, and unmercifully, surely even Ron Paul can't be ahead of them.....sincerely the establishment.

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.

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.

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.
