no compassion for Cinderella - she signed up for it. sha campaigned. she promised - A LOT. and did not deliver a lot. so.. no pity.

but at least Cinderella is not lazy like her predecessor!

If you're referring to the book version she didn't D:

The Obama version yes, you're right but his critics haven't done much to help or to propose realistic alternatives

Pointing out problems is smug and fun.

Suggesting solutions can be downright embarassing.

I'm pretty sure this didn't start in the last century or two though.

Where are all the blurbs coming from? The walls?

Not only is Obama the first black President but the first black Disney character too*!


*Assuming he is Cinderella and therefor came before Tiana. I realize there's some paradox concerns with that statement.

Actually Tiana was the first black princess, there's been black characters before. I think Mickey is black actually. (not really)

That's from 1948.

See, I tried to make that clear with my caveat. Cinderella came before Tiana. Therefor Obama is Disney's first black princess.

Mickey is black.
