Did they ask his kids on the stage,"Which baby mama are you from?"
A thousand bucks says that they would have asked this of Obama if he had been married with kids before.
Just a white lady posting this, but I'm not stupid. That would have been asked.

(65,403 posts)Fox News calls Michelle Obama Obamas baby mama
An on-screen graphic displayed the description during a segment about attacks on the wife of the presumptive Democratic nominee.
An alert reader wrote in just a little while ago to let us know about something hed spotted on Fox News Wednesday afternoon. During a segment discussing conservative attacks against Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the network described the former as Obamas baby mama.
I checked, and sure enough, as you can see below, our e-mailer was right. In fact, that description was displayed on-screen several times during the segment, which featured anchor Megyn Kelly and conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, an FNC contributor.

Of course, they also said that Michelle and Pres. Obama were giving each other a "terrorist fist jab" during the 2008 campaign!

During the June 6 edition of Fox News Americas Pulse, host E.D. Hill teased an upcoming discussion by saying, A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab?

(65,403 posts)At least Joy Reid pointed out that Michelle would never be given a pass like Melania has been.
For example, the Dems should be loudly reminding people about the way the RW went nuts when Michelle wore a sleeveless dress to the SOTU Address and for on official portrait, and about the time Hillary Clinton wore a top that didn't cover her all the way up to her neck--but don't blink an eye about Melania's very low cut dresses or her nude photos.
Dems never mention that the REPUBLICAN congress cut funding for embassy security in Benghazi and elsewhere, despite Hillary's request for increased funding. The Dems don't make clear to the average voter that the reasons they haven't managed to increase jobs is because the Republicans block the jobs bills. Obama and the Dems get blamed for the things the GOP has done, but they don't get the message about GOP obstruction out to the public.
Yeah, sure, the media is a pro-GOP filter so thick that it is hard to get a message past them to the people, but the Dems have no message discipline and in general are not good at all about couching their message in words that will be effective with the pubic. They ignore the advice of experts like George Lakoff, while Gingrich taught the Repubs to follow Frank Luntz's language tactics.
The Dems seem not to have anything resembling a media strategy for getting their own narrative out or for countering the right wing narratives. They don't seem to understand that they have to play the propaganda game, too--keep the talking points simple, repeat them endlessly, stay on message.
