Happy belated 25th birthday, Sasha Obama

How is it possible that she is 25 years old? A part of me will always remember her as this beautiful child on that glorious inauguration day that is so etched in all of our memories. It was so cold that day, but nothing could’ve kept me from being there to witness history. And now it’s almost painful to look at this beautiful family and see how far we have fallen.

Turn your head for a moment and they're driving and have real jobs. But same with me. They'll always be Michelle and Barrack Obama's wonderful little kids.

they did a great job of keeping them out of the limelight, letting them have a normal childhood in an abnormal environment.

and after interspersed periods of her as a tween and teen, now she is a grown woman!!

Happy Birthday to Sasha!

Too bad that family hasn’t done much. Won an Oscar award, a Tony award, a Grammy,
a Nobel prize, 2 terms as president, college degrees, best selling book books, friends with
the Bidens, Bruce Springsteen, the Clintons, the late Queen, a charitable foundation, a library
with a park in Chicago, and total class.

Thank you for posting.

Btw Barack isn’t a bad speaker too.

When the Obamas came to Ohio State and I got a chance to be close to the stage and
Michelle is drop dead gorgeous. An Ohio black college sent its drum line and as they
we’re playing I saw Barack and Michelle dancing a little bit.
