a rarity for a president who has tried his best to keep his children’s lives a private matter.

Really, hadn’t noticed that for all the pictures and stories of what Mallia is doing.

what a horrible father! What a moron! I don’t care what your motive is...a dad should never embarass his child in public! What a jerk! He is such a Zero!

I feel bad for that poor little girl. It’s bad enough to live in a fishbowl but to have your dad embarass you like that for his own gain in disgraceful. He is a horrible president and a horrible dad.

So, is he saying to children that if they get C’s, they too can be a first daughter or son of the USA?

I totally agree!!!!!!!!
My father would have never done that to me.
My DH would never do it to our girls.

He’s proven himself to be even more of a self-centered jerk.
