Photo of Obama and Spain's First Children Causes a Stir September 25, 2009 04:53 PM ET | Paul Bedard, Alex Kingsbury | Permanent Link | Print

Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero was in for a rude shock if he thought the same privacy conventions that shield the children of public figures in his home country would extend to the United States. Zapatero brought his wife and two daughters along on his trip to New York for the opening session of the United Nations General Assembly, and on Wednesday he and his family posed for a photograph with President Obama at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The photo caused a huge stir in Spain because the public had never before seen an image of its leader's children, ages 13 and 16, who appeared in the photograph sporting slightly gothic attire.
The photo, credited in the Spanish press to White House photog Lawrence Jackson, was posted on the State Department Flickr site, according to sources. Conservative news outlets in Spain prominently featured the photograph of the Socialist leader's family—with the faces slightly pixilated to comply with the country's aforementioned privacy laws concerning minors—in their papers and on their websites. The conservative El Mundo newspaper put the photograph on Page A1. The liberal El Pais, meanwhile, ran a detailed explainer about why it was not publishing the offending image.
After a request by the Spanish government, the White House removed the photograph from the State Department website. But it was too late. Many Spanish in-boxes today were flooded with a series of E-mails with the photograph—obviously altered—depicting the two teens as members of the Addams Family, the band KISS , and J. R. R. Tolkien's troll-like Orcs.
Why are they wearing barrels under their clothes?
I think Michelle’s dress looks okay. Like those shoes with the dress and like her hair style.
As for those girls, well I’m just too, too sorry but they look awful. No wonder their father’s trying to hide them from the world.
I understand it’s a “style”...the gothic looks. It’s a style I personally do not like but who am I? But you’ll have to do a lot of talking to convince me those boots look attractive on a young girl cause I don’t see it.

Zer0 looks like a cardboard cut out.
How in the hell can a leader of a country let his kids out
in public looking like that? I’m no prude or anything but
come on, what the hell were they thinking... geeeessh
LOL!
the wife looks like a dude... dude.
I don’t think so.
Translated Page.
Isn’t the slouch part of the “look”?
Another drapery pulled off the window to do double duty as a dress.
But not as smart.
lol you’re right. I think the Zapateros were fooled.
“I dont like MaBELLE’s Dress?”
I dare say it doesn’t qualify as a dress! It looks like a sack full of pumpkins cinched with a rather robust Girth at the Boob Line! Yuk!......:-)
I don’t know. A lot of kids like that Goth Look, but once again, why didn’t the parents TELL THEIR KIDS, to tone it down? I suppose they have the same problem other parents do, with lack of control over their kids.
Obozo is standing next to Ozzy Osbourne
gotta wonder were Obama’s hands are... rofl
You'd think with this many screw-ups, Obama's handlers would reach out to past staff from Clinton or even GWB to get a handle on this endless string of gaffes. Unless, of course, they are intentional.
ROFL!
It took a visit to the Adams family to make her feel pretty !
ROFL
He does. Really stiff.
