Sasha Obama graduates from high school with presidential parents looking on

Sasha Obama graduates from high school with presidential parents looking on

Sasha Obama, the former president's younger daughter, graduated from high school on Sunday with her parents, Barack and Michelle Obama, and her sister Malia in attendance, according to US Weekly, AOL.com and The Washington Examiner.

Her school, Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., posted a picture of her graduating class on Instagram and Facebook, showing Sasha, 18, in the second row from the back, fourth from the left.

The Instagram post featured a quote from the 2019 commencement speaker, Sheila Johnson, plus congratulations.

"Life has never been about you or about me. Life and all that matters within it has always been about us.

too bad he wouldnt put his own name up there in 50 ft letters.
it would bring so many smiles to a tired city.

Great kids and now great young ladies.

Real family values. BTW I doubt they will be involved in any real estate scams,
stolen fashion lines, money laundering, and or election rigging.

I still remember Ivanka and her Baja Trump condos ....they took in something like 30 million and never built a single one. Fucking grifters.

But look @ the Obamas and the Clintons millions for charity and the over all good what has become of America?

She was saying that she had already bought her condo and she couldn't wait to meet and spend time with her new neighbors and friends @ the development but in the end it was all lies. And yet even now we have the likes of McConnell, Jordan, and Fox news covering up for these crooks.

Lock 'em up.

When I was in parochial elem. school, we girls begged to wear pants during wintertime. The nuns cited ridiculous health reasons but rumor was that seeing the outline of our butts and V's in the front was titillating for the boys. No boys in my high school, no problem, we could wear pants only in winter. White shirts, school blazers and ties were required dress for boys.

Really though, I'm not sure Sidwell has a dress code especially for graduation but the white summer dress seems standard for graduating girls from pictures I've seen of Chelsea Clinton, the Obama girls and pics from other years. The grade school graduating ceremony, boys were a little free not in suit and tie, just white shirts and pants, of course
