Baby Mama Drama!

baby mama: noun. [bey-bee mah-muh] The mother of your child(ren), whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved.

Michelle Obama, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, has been the recent target of a few snide remarks by the Republican camp. That's not the issue. She's fair game. She's in the spotlight because of her husband and everything she does will be subjected to criticism.

However, when FOX news reported on those comments, the story was teased "Outraged Liberals: Stop Picking on Obama's Baby Mama." http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2008-06-12-image002.jpg

Mrs. Obama is not a baby's mama.

Maybe FOX news thought it was cute because the Obamas are black and that phrase, which is common place today, originated in the black community.

Maybe FOX news thought it was a good way to reach black viewers by using slang.

FOX news needs to think again.

It was an insult and disrespectful to their union. Mrs. Obama has been married to Mr. Obama for 16 years. She's the mother of his children, not his baby's mama.

After shoving their feet in their mouths at FOX news, the vice president of programming said the "baby mama" description was bad judgement.

"A producer on the program exercised poor judgment in using this chyron during the segment," said Fox's Senior Vice President of Programming Bill Shine.

I hope FOX news learned a lesson: We're watching!
