What’s wrong with ThinkProgress? How much time have you got?
In case you missed it, ThinkProgress isn’t terribly good at thinking:

In her piece, “The Obama Administration has turned the parental into the
political,” TP’s Tara Culp-Ressler addresses the Obama administration’s
penchant for using “the language of parenting as a tool to argue for policy
.” She acknowledges that there’s criticism of the paternalistic approach,
but that’s as far as she’s willing to go. She doesn’t seem to have a
problem with it. In fact, she thinks the Obamas have done a pretty good job:
The approach of acting the parent isn’t a perfect strategy, especially when
it comes to women’s issues. But both Obama and his wife have been able to
largely come across as genuine, and that’s thanks to their ability to
undermine assumptions about them and their race. For politicians who are
always expected to be “twice as good” — and, in some ways, have embraced
this framing for the black community — it’s perhaps not a surprise that
they’ve chosen to double down on this aspect of family values.
Ugh. Not a surprise, maybe. But it’s pretty sickening nonetheless.
