Why Is Malia Obama Opting Out of Parents' Posh Caribbean Vacation? (and making us pay for it)

Typical teenager

Everyone is entitled to his or her own vacation preference: Come wintertime, some are more Aspen types, while others bail for Bora Bora. Barack and Michelle Obama appear to fit into the second category, ditching Palm Springs after a rained-out weekend and making for Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the Caribbean by private jet. Not too shabby for folks in search of some R&R and warm sunshine.

Daughter Malia Obama, however, opted out of a family vacation. (Teens are known to want to do that, but in this case, her parents’ plans did seem uncommonly tempting.)

Instead, the 18 year old is attending the Sundance Film Festival in snowy, cold Park City, Utah.

Page Six reported that Malia is interning for the Weinstein Co. film company before attending Harvard this fall. As you might imagine, such a high-profile intern isn’t exactly going to be doing the lowest-level grunt work. And in fact, sources close to the film company told TMZ that Malia's paid internship hasn't even kicked off yet, and her visit to the film fest is merely on her own time.

Call it brushing up — as the studious teen and her sister Sasha are known to do — or perhaps just a pure vacation in a majorly buzzy destination. She’s known to be a big fan of the flicks.

Why would an 18 year old young woman want to hang out with her parents on an island? Seriously. The last thing I wanted to do when I was 18 and out of high school was spend more time with my parents.

Guerilla training?

I don’t know, I know some guys who went on a program called Outward Bound. Really straightened them out. I wonder if this was something like that or if she is a hood rat being groomed to be the next Obama.

I guess, if you don’t count his pension and his stimulus slush fund.

Ditto. They're private citizens now and not that interesting to read about.

Am I mistaken? I was under the impression that, under Clinton, USSS protection was expanded to include the First Family even after they have left the WH.

In all the photos I’ve seen, Sasha always seems to have happiness in her eyes, while Malia most often has anger in her eyes. May just a personality difference, even among siblings one sister sees the glass have full while the other sister sees it half empty. I hope both girls have happy adult lives.
