I don't get this line of attack either. She doesn't have a bare midriff or a bikini top on. There's absolutely nothing age inappropriate about what she's wearing. Nothing. She's dressed pretty much exactly how I dressed at 11; t-shirt and shorts. In fact, in a picture from 1981, I'd look pretty much exactly the same (except I had a t-shirt with the Adidas logo. I was a tomboy). The only difference is that she's a hell of a lot taller than I was. So, it's her fault that she's tall? Because that's the only thing that makes her look older than her age.
The hairstyle plus the sunglasses plus the shortness of the shorts and the tightness of the t-shirt are all trends for late teenagers and not pre-pubescent daughters of the President of the United States based on my obervations.
I am an over 50 father of three boys, the youngest one being 18 and I am somewhat sensitive to what boys that age look for. Just sayin'.
The Obama daughter was dressed similar to the way the Palin daughter was dressed on her trip to New York. If we demand, as we should, that the left treat the Palin children with the respect that they demand for the Obama daughters, then by the same standard we shouldn't criticize the Obama girl any more than we did the Palin girl. And I never heard any comments around here about "ghetto trash" in referring to the Palins. A lot of people on both sides could use more effort in sticking to the high road and the issues.
