Malia Obama Just the Latest First Daughter to Face Intense Scrutiny Because of Her Father
Newsweek ^ | 8/8/2017 | Greg Price

Posted on 08/10/2017 6:58:14 AM PDT by simpson96

Malia Obama, the oldest daughter and child of former President Barack Obama, was recorded looking dazed as she was carted away from the Lollapalooza music festival Friday in Chicago, just hours after her dancing and flailing antics also were recorded on video, TMZ reported Tuesday.

Two videos, the first published Saturday showing the 19-year-old writhing on the ground, are likely to increase scrutiny on the former first daughter and potentially up the attention paid to her younger sister Sasha. But, like many a first daughter before her, Malia’s likely struggle to enjoy the rigors of her youth out of the public eye is likely to continue as evidenced by predecessors such as President George W. Bush’s twin daughters, Jenna and Laura, and President Bill Clinton’s only child, Chelsea. Meanwhile, current President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, also a key adviser to her father’s administration, has perhaps cast a new mold for future first daughters.

Each has had to deal with life under the political microscope because of their powerful fathers no matter their political party affiliation. Earlier this year, Malia attended a premiere party for the HBO series “Girls” and was spotted dancing into the wee hours of the night, Page Six reported, while also mingling with stars of the show as well as a Saturday Night Live cast member.

Her sister, Sasha, also was splashed along gossip websites because of Lollapalooza. A picture surfaced of the 16-year-old kissing a young man named Matt Metzler, which led The Daily Beast to posit the question:“When are we gonna leave these girls alone?”

The answer to the question, given the age of social media and type of celebrity fame that President Obama gained both before, during and since his administration ended is likely never. But the Bush twins know that all too well.

Apparently Newsweak is now using TMZ as one of their primary sources.

Well.... If *I* had dozens of paparazzi following me around and photographing my every move in public, then I'd likely not do things that were likely to get me in trouble.

But that's just sensible old me.

Scrutiny? Trump’s kids are under federal investigation for criminal acts and they worry her being on the ground presents a negative outlook.

The world is full of idiots.

Since when do you call 911 for THAT?

If you're a moonbat liberal restaurant owner, it's what you do if it involves the Bush family.

Last year was supposed to be Malia’s “gap year”. We don’t hear anything about her packing to go to college.

Who cares? She’s a kid sowing her wild oats, just as the Bush girls did in their younger years and just as many of ours will do. Leave the kids out of it, she doesn’t hold office and she’s not running for anything.

If she tries to enter the arena, like Chelsea, then she become fair game.

Malia Obama Just the Latest First Daughter to Face Intense Scrutiny Because of Her Father

This headline proves without a doubt that Newsweak is a rag magazine.

First of all, the America Hating, Mooselimb, Marxist Imposter Obama was married to a Tranny like Moochelle!!!

Now we should know that their children are indeed two (2) adopted kids.

I am glad they could adopt these 2 children but no excuse for the perverted ways of the America Hating, Marxist, Mooselimb, Imposter Obama!

Prejudice based on color is so 1963 ... now we are closely measuring and weighing character, as instructed by their cocaine-addled, sex maniac god-figure.

And she sounds like a spoiled brat. Oh, privileged too, to use their vernacular.

Miss Blondie is riding on the golf cart with Malia and the SS. Do a search for pictures of Malia with friends and there’s Miss Blondie. Miss Blondie was with Malia last year when he was tokin’ on a joint. Miss Blondie was the unidentified friend who got bit by the Obama’s dog. Malia can hardly go anywhere without this gal.
