Big Sister, Little Brother
Subject: Big Sister, Little Brother
Message:
It hit me today that Barack is like our little
brother...the one who punched us in the arm,
put his boogers in our hair or any number
of weaselly little annoyances and got away with
them. Mamas love their sons and forgive them
most anything. They expect more
obedience from their daughters. Big sisters,
and I am one, are expected to behave better,
get better grades, set a good example and not
get into trouble. I know time has passed and
it's less that way but little brothers still
seem to get away under the line..."boys will
be boys".

Little brother Obama's campaign started the attacks against
big sister Hillary (and Bill) a long time ago but the
Mama (media) seem to adore their golden boy
and aren't going to call out those annoyances,
as unfair as it is. Howabout a little truth
and a fair playing field...or is that too much
to ask from the same family?

That's insulting.

I wish you partisans on BOTH SIDES would quit with the character assassination attempts and stick to the issues. Or is that too damn complicated and not entertaining enough?

You both need to go to your rooms and stop your whining.

family dynamics are always at play.

3. It's bullshit. ALL of you need to grow up.
If you're going to dabble in politics you should learn what it's about and what's at stake instead of playing the amateur psychologist -- and not very well, either. It's just an excuse for another insult, and it's bullshit. And don't think I'm picking on "your" side; there's plenty of crap being slung by around by both. Politics isn't beanbag. Stop being crybabies.

4. It's an interesting discussion point
and if you don't want to discuss it, move on.
Too bad Dubya's family dynamics weren't analyzed
more by the media.

5. Another pathetic post, with the sole purpose of further dividing us.
Ignored.

8. seems to be some name calling by Obama supporters...
and all I pointed to are the dynamics of this race.
Maybe more people don't really like their younger
brothers after all.
