Brad Pitt's Mom Blasts Obama; Warns Christians NOT To Support Him (Brad Is Obama's 9th Cousin)

Brad Pitt’s Mom Writes Anti-Obama Screed to Local Newspaper

It looks like Doug Pitt isn’t the only member of Brad’s family getting some extra press this week.

On Tuesday, an anti-Obama letter signed by Jane Pitt, the mother of the Hollywood star, appeared in the pages of the Springfield, Missouri News Reader in response to an article about Christians reluctant to vote for Mitt Romney as President.

The letter reads, in part:

Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney’s opponent, Barack Hussein Obama — a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.

The News-Leader later cleared up any confusion of the identity of the author by confirming the letter writer as “the mother of actor Brad Pitt and local businessman Doug Pitt.”

Her stance could not be further from that of her son, who is one of Hollywood’s most vocal supporters of same-sex marriage. In 2008 Pitt donated $100,000 to help fight Proposition 8, the ballot proposition to repeal same-sex marriage in California. At the time, it was the largest donation to the campaign from an A-List celebrity.

He explained to the Los Angles Times that, “no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8.”

Pitt and actress Angelina Jolie, his partner of seven years, with whom he has six children, had also famously vowed not to marry each other until same-sex couples also shared that right.

(The couple announced their engagement in April, however, and although they have yet to set a date, Pitt told The Hollywood Reporter that he didn’t “think we’ll be able to hold out” until gay marriage is universal.)

Pitt is also a big fan of the president — even more so than his fiancée.

At the premiere of her film The Land of Milk and Honey at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C., Jolie said of the current administration, “there are many, many things that have gone in a wonderful direction and there are a few things I’m disappointed in.”

When asked if he was an Obama supporter at the same premiere, Pitt answered, “I have been and remain so.”

Interestingly, Pitt shares more than a political affinity with the President; they also share an ancestor, Edwin Hickman, making them ninth cousins.



Ninth cousins Obama and Pitt: that family tree in full

When Mr Pitt went to Washington last week the official line was that Brad was there to talk to Obama about the Hollywood star's plan to help rebuild New Orleans.

All very worthy. But who were they trying to kid?

It was obvious to any rightwing conspiracy theorist that the meeting was all part of a plot to forward the interests of Obama's family. Surely you haven't forgotten? Obama and Pitt are cousins.

Ninth cousins to be precise. On the campaign trail last year it emerged that the two share a common ancestor.

The link is Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769. Obama is a direct descendant of Hickman's son James through the president's white Kansas-born mother, Ann Dunham Sutoro.

Hickman's other son, Edwin Jr, James's brother, is head of the line leading to William Bradley Pitt, known these days as Brad.

We don't know much about Hickman, but what there is points more towards Obama's life of public service than Pitt's calling as an entertainer. Hickman was sheriff of the wonderfully named Spotsylvania region of Virginia, and owned a little land. A big fish in a tiny pond, he could not have dreamed of his double whammy 10 generations later.

Christopher Child, a genealogist at the New England Historic Genealogical Society, who did much of the work on Obama's family tree, finds these coincidences interesting, though not surprising. "If people have ancestors in a common part of the country they will be more likely to find connections - in Obama and Pitt's case the South."

So are the similarities evident? Not at, erm, face value. Pitt's jaw is broad, Obama's sharp. But they share a nose and an irresistible smile. The charm is in the genes.

Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin's Mother Releases Mother's Day PSA On Youtube: Opposing "Stand Your Ground" Laws (Video)

Trayvon Martin's Mother has released a Mother's day video on Youtube expressing her Opposition to Florida's Biased "Stand Your Ground" law.





Trayvon Martin’s mother releases video about ‘my first Mother’s Day without my son’

Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin, released a Mother’s Day video online Thursday night asking for supporters to voice their opposition to Florida’s controversial stand-your-ground law, and others like it.

The video was posted on YouTube, as well as GlobalGrind.com. In it, Fulton says "this will be my first Mother’s Day without my son Trayvon."

"I know it will be hard, but my faith, family and friends will pull me through," she says. "On Sunday I’m going to say a prayer for other mothers across America who share this unbearable pain.”

The video concludes with Fulton asking viewers to ask their governor to "re-examine" stand your ground and similar laws. Supporters of the teenager’s family have been critical of the law, which allows the use of deadly force in response to a reasonable fear that death or serious injury is imminent.

Amid the controversy, Florida Gov. Rick Scott announced a task force to review the law, which met for the first time this month and resolved to kick off a statewide round of public hearings June 12 in Sanford.

The man charged in the teen’s shooting death, George Zimmerman, says he fired in self defense after he was attacked and beaten by the teen.

Fulton’s video is also posted on the website for a foundation started by the family. Michael Hall, one of four directors listed for The Justice for Trayvon Martin Foundation in incorporation documents, said it has been online more than a month.

State business documents also list Fulton and Trayvon’s brother, Jahvarius Martin, as directors.

The family established the foundation through the non-profit Miami Foundation, a "private foundation alternative" that offers logistical and accounting support to fledgling charitable organizations, said Vice President Nancy Jones.

"They’re looking to advocate for social justice issues," she said of the Martin family. She said the money collected by the fund does not go to the family’s legal fees or travel expenses.

"We’ve had a lot of interest in it," Jones said. "I talk to people almost daily about it."

The site says the Martin foundation’s goal is to be "a worldwide Internet hub that will remove judgment of youth through awareness campaigns" to "mobilize pro-justice advocates" and collaborate with organizations "whose missions are to organize, uplift and advocate for the advancement of young people around the world who, for whatever reason, are judged to be ’different,’ and thus a ’threat’ to other people."

The family has also created Facebook and Twitter accounts, distributing news about the case and others like it.

Social media has been central to the shooting controversy since it began, and both Trayvon’s family and Zimmerman’s defense have entered the online debate. Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, created a blog, along with Twitter and Facebook accounts, and has begun distributing statements about the case online.

O’Mara has also established a legal defense fund for Zimmerman at his site, GZLegalCase.com. The Martin family’s foundation is online at JusticeTM.org.

Breastfeeding Until The Age Of 3? No Way! Kiddie Porn Or "Attachment Parenting"??

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Each time I look at the recent TIME Magazine Breastfeeding Cover I think "Kiddie Porn".

Disgusting!

I am the Mother of two Adult Sons.

When my Sons were Babies I did Breastfeed them up until almost prior to their First Birthday.

Choosing to stop Breastfeeding them just prior to Age One was my personal preference as a Mother.

However.....

I would NEVER, EVER have Breastfed my Sons up to the Age of 3!

I don't care what Dr. Bill Sears or anyone else says, choosing to Breastfeed a 3-Year-Old is NOT "Attachment Parenting", its just plain Crazy and NOT Emotionally Healthy for Children.

Especially little Boys who have to grow up & become Strong, Men!

I believe TIME Magazine's Breastfeeding Cover was Provocative, Shocking, Brilliant & Controversial as it relates to Selling Units and the Magazine's bottom line, even if it does promote a style of Parenting that may NOT be Popular.

Yes this kind of Shock value does in fact Sell, just as Sex Sells.

The ironic thing is if an Adult posts a Video of a 3 or 4-year-old Child Sucking on a Woman's Breast, that Adult would be Arrested for promoting Kiddie Porn NOT for promoting "Attachment Parenting"!

Thus the question becomes NOT "Are You Mom Enough?" but Are You "Mom Enough" to STOP Breastfeeding Your Children before the Age of One or once they are able to Walk, Talk, Use the Bathroom Alone & Eat Real Table Food just as an Older Child can?


Time magazine cover -- forget the breast, what about the boy?



Jamie Lynn Grumet, the 26-year-old mother featured on the cover of Time magazine breastfeeding her 3-year-old son, has done more this week than become the poster woman for “attachment parenting,” the sometimes laudable movement that advises parents to be physically and emotionally available and responsive to their children.

She has shown the limits of such a concept, and the ways in which it can be twisted into a bizarre, contemptible caricature of itself.

Grumet is a model, and models have to have at least healthy dose of narcissism (television journalists like me, too, by the way).

But I fear Grumet has more than what’s healthy.

Because she thought nothing of becoming far more famous than she ever was or ever would have been by getting naked on the cover of Time using her son as a prop—letting him, in fact, look right into the camera and be completely recognizable while sucking her nipple.

He may never be better-known for anything than for being a breastfeeding 3-year-old on the cover of a national magazine.
Ever.
When he enters school later in his young life he may be ridiculed for it.

And these realities hint at a woman who could (and I have not evaluated her) have very poor boundaries and be willing or likely not only to nurture a child, but to absorb him, deny him his personhood and render him no more than her appendage.

In short, it is not at all clear who is the “parent” in the Time magazine photograph.

Is Grumet responding to real and healthy needs emanating from her son’s psyche, or is he responding to her potentially outsized needs to be the center of attention and the object of desire (if only for warmth).

Who, we can legitimately ask, is feeding whom?

See, Grumet loves being photographed.
And she apparently loves having her son breastfeed.

And she loves attention.

And she’s happy enough to get naked in front of other people (which there may be nothing wrong with—for her).

But that may or may not be the case for her 3-year-old boy, which seems not to have mattered to her—at all. And if his will was bent to hers in order to have him suck his mother’s nipple in front of a photographer and makeup artist and art director and all of America, then it stands to reason that his will may be being bent to hers in all sorts of ways—including protracted breastfeeding.

The truth is that what Time magazine may have unwittingly captured and been party to was a grotesque form of psychological abuse—the parading into public of an intimate moment (intimate for mother and child) at the sole direction of that child’s mother, who didn’t stop to think that her child may not be able at the age of three to know what he thinks about the whole thing, much less to stop it, if he wanted to.

Grumet has stained the attachment parenting movement by documenting how easily it can go wrong, when used as an excuse for poor boundaries and manipulation.

In a way, while looking at the Time magazine cover, we are all Grumet’s son and may know something of his possible plight: finding her a compelling and dramatic presence, seduced by her combination of sex appeal and motherhood—unable, in fact, to detach from her.

Talk about a prescription for psychological disaster.

This is self-centeredness at its worst, sold as good parenting.

And this is an act of media violence against a child, committed by adult journalists who also commandeered his will (as did his mother), for sensation and profit.

Rarely do we get such evidence of how wrong parenting can go, how poorly journalists can behave and how slow we can be to recognize ugliness when it is disguised as something beautiful.


Breastfeeding Mom on Time magazine cover speaks out on ‘Today’ show

The young mom who sparked a media storm breastfeeding her 3-year-old son on the cover of Time magazine is opening up about the controversial photo.

Jamie Lynne Grumet, 26, appeared on NBC's "Today" show on Friday to discuss the cover, which shows her casually nursing her toddler Aram, who stares straight into the camera while he stands on a wooden chair.

"I do understand why Time chose this picture, because it did create such a media craze ... to get the dialogue talking," Grumet said.

The ensuing controversy focused on attachment parenting - the topic of Time's cover story - particularly extended breastfeeding.

Grumet explains that she was breastfed until she was 6-years-old and cites it as the reason she and her mother have a close bond.

Dr. Bill Sears, who developed the attachment parenting theory, also appeared on "Today" with Grumet. While both are advocates of the controversial parenting technique - which also includes co-sleeping, or letting children sleep in their parent's beds - Grumet admits it's not for everyone.

"You need to do what's best for your own baby and your family," she says.

Commenters on the Daily News' original article about the Time cover were alarmed by the Grumet's photograph, one reader even calling it "child porn."

Other commenters agreed, voicing concern that Grumet's son would endure psychological problems later on in life.

"Nice job lady," one reader wrote. "You've at best given this kid a lifetime of needing major therapy and at worst created a serial killer."

And not all of the criticism is coming from people against attachment parenting, Grumet notes.

"I understand some of the breast-feeding advocates are actually upset about this," she said on "Today."

Mommyish.com blogger Shawna Cohen, who says she practices some attachment parenting principles, wrote that she was disappointed in the Time cover.

"It angers me because it portrays AP moms as being totally extreme," she wrote in a blog post. "And in most cases, that couldn't be further from the truth."

Even celebrities chimed in - including new mom Alyssa Milano.

"Time, no! You missed the mark!" the actress wrote on Twitter. "You're supposed to be making it easier for breastfeeding moms. Your cover is exploitative and extreme."

Grumet explains that the cover didn't adequately demonstrate the nurturing side of attachment parenting.

"This isn't how we breastfeed at home," she says. "It's more of a cradling, nurturing situation."

Grumet, who has one other 5-year-old son, says she hopes to stop breastfeeding Aram, who turns 4 next month, sometime in the next year.

Barbara Bush 84, Hospitalized In Houston

Barbara Bush Hospitalized In Houston


Former first lady Barbara Bush was hospitalized in Houston for tests after not feeling well for several weeks, NBC News reported Saturday night.

Former President George H.W. Bush took Mrs. Bush to Methodist Hospital on Saturday morning for routine testing, said Jean Becker, spokeswoman for the former president in Houston.

Sources told NBC that the problem was not believed to be related to her heart or the aortic valve operation that she underwent in March 2009.

Doctors hoped to let her go home Sunday or Monday, Becker said.

Mrs. Bush underwent surgery a year ago to have her aortic valve replaced by a valve from a pig. That surgery was performed because she was suffering from a severe narrowing of the main valve.

Mrs. Bush underwent surgery in November 2008 for a perforated ulcer. When she lived at the White House, she disclosed she was suffering from an overactive thyroid ailment known as Graves' disease. The disease causes teary eyes and double vision, according to her doctors.

Joe Biden's Mother's Inspirational Life Echoed Rose Kennedy

Joe Biden's Mother Dies At 92


Vice President Joe Biden’s mother, Catherine Eugenia “Jean” Finnegan Biden, died Friday in Wilmington, Del., days after becoming seriously ill, the White House announced.

"At 92, she was the center of our family and taught all of her children that family is to be treasured, loyalty is paramount and faith will guide you through the tough times. She believed in us, and because of that, we believed in ourselves," Biden said in a statement. "Together with my father, her husband of 61 years who passed away in 2002, we learned the dignity of hard work and that you are defined by your sense of honor. Her strength, which was immeasurable, will live on in all of us".

In March, she suffered a broken hip and had been in hospice care since then. Her family was had gathered by her bedside over the last few days, with Biden cancelling several meetings to be with his mother.

The Vice President often talked about his mother as the center of his family.

While she was recovering from hip surgery, she teased him for not wearing green and as he greeted Irish American guests at the White House for St. Patrick’s Day, Biden pointed to his green necktie and said “Mom, I got my green on tonight."

On the campaign trail she was a familiar fixture, once interrupting one of her son’s stump speeches to ask if he was eating enough.

And during his address at the Democratic National Convention in August 2008, Biden told a story about being bullied as a child and how his mother offered tough-love advice.

“And when I got knocked down by guys bigger than me — and this is the God’s truth — she sent me back out and said, ‘Bloody their nose so you can walk down the street the next day.’ And that’s what I did,” he said.

Details about services will be released over the next few days, the White House said.

The White House release is below:

Catherine Eugenia “Jean” Finnegan Biden was born on July 17, 1917, the daughter of the late Ambrose J. Finnegan and the former Geraldine C. Blewitt of Scranton, Pennsylvania. In 1941, she married Joseph Robinette Biden. They were married for 61 years before Mr. Biden passed away in 2002.

Mrs. Biden is survived by her eldest son, Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., his wife Jill Jacobs Biden and their three children, Joseph R. Biden, III, of Wilmington, Delaware, his wife Hallie Olivere Biden and their children, Natalie Paige Biden and Robert Hunter Biden, II; R. Hunter Biden of Washington, D.C., his wife Kathleen Buhle Biden and their children, Naomi King Biden, Finnegan James Biden and Roberta Mabel Biden; and Ashley Blazer Biden of Wilmington, Delaware; and by her daughter, Valerie Biden Owens of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, her husband John T. Owens and their children Valerie James Owens, Cuffe Biden Owens and Catherine Eugenia Owens; and by her two younger sons, James Brian Biden of Merion Station, Pennsylvania, his wife Sara Jones Biden and their children, James Brian Biden, Jr., Caroline Nicole Biden and Nicholas Coleman Biden; and Francis W. Biden of Florida and his daughter, Alana Jaquet Biden.

Details on services for Mrs. Biden, 92, will be available in the coming days. On behalf of the Biden family, Valerie Biden Owens has requested that, in lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a contribution in memory of Mrs. Biden do so to a hospice, the Ministry of Caring in Wilmington, Delaware, or the Naomi Christina Biden Minority Scholarship Fund at Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware.
