Barack and Michelle are all of our parents now http://t.co/304nAa14MG

Barack and Michelle Obama are fine parents, they really are. They have two gorgeous and well-behaved daughters, and the Obamas have kept them mercifully free of the spotlight. I can’t say any more about them than that, because I don’t know any more than that — which is exactly how it should be.
But the Obamas aren’t my parents, and they aren’t your parents. But ThinkProgress represents the repressive and reactionary mode of thought that we are wards of the Great Men who rule over us.
No.
We are not their children. Our politicians, left and right, serve us at our pleasure — and it’s high time we reminded them of it.
