It was one of the more emotional moments of President Obama’s farewell address. His eyes swelling with tears, he spoke of his wife, “Michelle LaVaughn Robinson of the South Side,” and then, of his pride in their two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
“Under the strangest of circumstances you have become two amazing young women,” Obama said. “You are smart and you are beautiful. But more importantly, you are kind and you are thoughtful and you are full of passion.”
“And,” he added, pausing for applause, “you wore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily. Of all that I have done in my life, I am most proud to be your dad.”
When his family joined Obama on the stage, at the close of his farewell speech, they held hands and waved at the audience, creating an image of the family that mirrored a similar one from more than eight years ago, at Obama’s victory rally in the same city.

Red Badger is my twin. We were born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus, rollin’ down Highway 41.
We each weighed 200 pounds at birth and hit the ground running, but I am two seconds older and much better looking.

Love Silent Cal!
We need one of him these days.

I agree. The girls should be off limits. They did not get to choose their parents nor did they get to choose their life’s path up until this point. It will be a miracle if they have normal adult lives, and there are already indications they’re heading down the wrong path. When they become independent adults they may be fair game for critique. How about a little prayer for them instead?

Yes he does, but this is NOT the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson. He is a former reporter for Fox News and several other news organizations.
