A small weekly paper in California claims that a White House official asked it to remove a sentence from a “benign” feature about Marine One because it reflected poorly on first lady Michelle Obama. In an email to The Daily Caller, Gina Channell-Allen, president of the Pleasanton Weekly in Pleasanton, California, said that her paper “received a call from the White House asking us to take out part of the story because it reflected poorly on the First Lady.” The story in question was a soft feature about Marine One titled, “Inside Marine One, President Obama’s helicopter,” that ran in the paper on April 20. Pleasanton staffer Amory Gutierrez “didn’t get to ride in ‘Marine One,’” she wrote in her story, “but I did get the VIP tour and took photographs of the otherwise unseen aircraft.” She also wrote a sentence that the White House thought made FLOTUS look snooty. “Basically the reporter said that the First Lady didn’t speak to the pilots but acknowledged them by making eye contact,” Allen wrote in her email. Allen says she “complied” with the White House’s request “because it was not worth making a fuss over.” She added, “I thought it was interesting, though, that the [White House] was concerned enough about image to contact a little weekly paper in Pleasanton.”

That's it? I thought the reporter made some comment like, "Marine One is fitted with extra- thrust jet engines in order to haul the corpulent mass of Michelle Obama..." Or, "we get nervous when the Fat Lady, ughhh.. FIRST Lady sings..."
Socialist ass-hats think "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." And yes, that IS from LF's answer to Ben Bernanke, go65, leading disfunctional and delusional socialist of the forum. "You want me to kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, I'll kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, Rebs, or Sioux, or Cheyenne... For 500 bucks a month I'll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind: I'd happily kill you for free." Algren, "The Last Samurai" Going after President Obama through his wife is getting your skits muddy dumb shit. But maybe you'll mature when your testicles drop and you start growing a beard, who's to say?
The Obamas seem to be thin skinned to a fault. Why lean on a small town paper for something so trivial? Anyone else getting confused writing obama and osama? I might just start switching them.
The WH would really go postal if the press quit lying about Aunt Esther's looks.
“Basically the reporter said that the First Lady didn’t speak to the pilots but acknowledged them by making eye contact,” Allen wrote in her email.

That's it?
Was Obama taking potshots at The Donald with the Osama situation unfolding?
