America's Littlest Diplomats: Sasha and Malia Obama's Summer Vacation (Diabetic Alert!!)
ABC News ^ | July 9, 2009 | Yunji De Nies and Sunlen Miller

First lady Michelle Obama thought about sending her daughters away to summer camp, she said recently, but instead decided on another program -- the "Camp Obama" world tour.

"This has been such a, you know, busy year for them," she said, "We're having 'Camp Obama' and, you know, they're going to travel a little more with us, and we're going to do some historic things."

It's not your everyday sleepaway camp, but a world-class adventure: This week, the first tweens have toured Rome's Coliseum and Russia's Kremlin -- exotic locations for sure, but the president said his daughters haven't skipped a beat.

"They're great travelers. Sasha was walking down one of the halls of the Kremlin," he said in an interview with ABC News. "She had her trench coat on, had her pockets in her trench coat. We called her 'Agent 99.' She just looked like she knew where she was going. I thought she was going to pull out her shoe phone."

Just last month, the girls visited Paris and London, with stops at the Eiffel Tower and a shopping trip to the upscale kiddie couture Bonpoint Boutique. In London, they toured Buckingham Palace, where they were greeted by the Queen herself.

"Camp Obama" isn't just an international program. It's included Hawaiian-themed luauson the South Lawn of the White House and ice cream outings with Dad.

The first family also spent a day together doing community service, filling backpacks for Marines at Fort McNair.

Are there no Youth Services people who can rescue these poor children?

I am so glad to paying their tab.

(NOT!)

My 15 year old is babysitting this Summer so she can have some cash for her Rally Team fees at high school. Oh, yeah, and some school clothes this coming Fall.

Obama is encouraging his daughter to have lots of sleepover "summits".

Okay. In all fairness, if my dad were president, I would be taking all the travel opportunities I could. (hey, if someone else is paying...)so I don't necessarily begrudge the girls their unique experience...however, everything the Obamas do, and the sickeningly sweet "reporting" acting like they are the only children to have ever traveled abroad makes me want to BARF

All politicians exploit their kids. Sally Quinn, though, is not a politician. That's why she gave her kid BAD GENES!

He's been damaged for life too ~ has a difficult time and is considered handicapped by most.

I’m with you. I’m glad the girls have this opportunity, but you sure never saw such positive stories about the Bush girls traveling with the President and Laura.

Send Social Services to The Half-White House. Living with their parents, the King and Queen of Zamunda, has to be child abuse!

It looks like his kids are no longer off limits. I would guarantee that if they were not the darlings of the left the free love and STD jokes that go with that peace-nic T-Shirt would be flying. There’s some material for the late night talkers.

I've noticed The King and Queen of Zamunda haven't spent a full week in the White House since he was elected.

Yeah and they looked totally miserable doing it.
Maybe they put peace symbols in each package.
I know the Clintons took Chelsea occasionally on trips, but, it didn’t seem as “ in your face “
as the Obamas are making their daughters.
The Bush girls were also pretty low key on official trips.
We’re all footing the bill for the Obamas to treat their daughters like they have just been crowned Royal Princesses ,
while simultaneously winning the Powerball.
