#poutyface

From the Dalrock Blog via Instapundit.


A commenter at the Daily Mail pointed out the absurdity of Mrs. Obama’s pouty faced tweet:
Don’t give me your hastags Mrs Obama your husband is the President of the United States for crying out loud.
Boom ! ! That comment will leave a mark.

The article continues,
He raises an excellent point.  She is married to the president.  Her best chance to help the kidnapped girls is to privately bring her concerns to her husband, wait for him to devise a plan*, and then publicly support his efforts.
But supporting her husband in his efforts has a number of drawbacks.  It requires submission as well as a degree of accountability.  If she supports her husband and his plan fails, she is associated with that failure.  This way she can take credit for any success and avoid accountability for failure.  If someone (someone with a penis) tries and fails, she can point out that of course that plan wasn’t the plan she had in mind all along.  If someone (with a penis) tries and succeeds, she and all of the other women in the campaign can take credit for the success:
Nothing would have happened if men were left to their own devices!  The world owes women a debt for pushing to have those girls rescued.
Mrs. Obama won’t be alone in taking credit for any success in rescuing the kidnapped girls of course.
This Regime seems to be obsessed with ONLY winning the PR/Social Media war and the Daily Media coverage, but not anything that would require work or a decision.
