than this 'repub' puke:
Elizabeth Lauten, the communications director for Rep. Stephen Fincher (R-Tenn.), wrote that the two teenagers should "try showing a little class," "dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar," and, most of all, "don't make faces" at Very Serious public events.

(68,198 posts)seem so very alike. Respectful, but still just kids. The Obama girls look normal to me, even tho they are under a LOT of scrutiny. I give those two girls a so much credit for being just regular kids --- sweet and nice but still having their own lives (friends, cell phones, thinking about what they'll wear, music).

(9,893 posts)This year they were both wearing mini-skirts and the ceremony was inside. The skirts looked like what I wore in the late '60s and early '70s. Malia was wearing a very short kilt. I had couple of those at about the same length back in the day!

(10,362 posts)In fact compared to how most high school kids are dressing nowadays, I'd call it conservative.
Attacking Malia and Sasha is whackjobbery of the highest order. F*** them

And speaking of "dressing for a bar"...I think you're about eight years too late for that, dear.

(53,193 posts)Speaking of "disrespect for the office," how does getting falling-down drunk at the Olympics fit into all this?

(27,275 posts)i was reading about the twins on facebook. the person claimed her daughter went to school with them. she said one was a bully, and the other one was sweet. she said the bully harassed her daughter. i suspect Jenna was the bully.

(14,449 posts)Reagan kids were adults. Bush Senior kids were adults. Bush jr kids were in college. So the last 40 years they didn't even have children. Only JFK, Clinton and Obama had children. So not even able to compare.

(75,480 posts)daughters in the White House, I would take the Obama girls leaps and bounds over the Bush twins, if those were the choices I had. Just saying. The Obama girls consistently show classy behavior. Unfortunately, the Bush girls often behaved like trailer trash. Now I know we aren't supposed to pick on the children, but since some self-appointed critics of Presidents' daughters' behavior have done so publicly, I thought someone should point that out.

(2,316 posts)I guess "trying to show a little class" is in the mind of the beholder.
At least we know she thinks she looks good in pink.

(34,911 posts)What does it say about an alleged adult who feels the need to pick on a couple of kids? Jeezus. Their father was PARDONING A COUPLE OF TURKEYS, ffs. And, there's nothing wrong with what those girls were wearing.
