Obama Eyes Babysitting Duties For Daughters

WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama's daughters might be growing up in White House, but that does not mean they have to miss out on a rite of passage for American girls -- a babysitting job. Obama, who has the headache of stewarding the slowly mending US economy, said in a television interview that he was also teaching his daughters Malia, 12, and Sasha, nine, about savings, interest and money management. "What I'm doing now with Malia and Sasha is they're getting an allowance," Obama told ABC's "Good Morning America."

If you hire them, do you have to provide health care?

Oh ... wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall during that lesson? "Here's how you steal money girls..."

O. Ne. Zot. Who could write such a pathetically idiotic clause without throwing up? Who could read it without throwing up?

Micheele Obama Robinson baby sat in the home of Jesse Robinson Jackson. Jesse’s ancestors and Michelle’s ancestors came from the same location in “Friends Plantation”.

Jesse’s biological father was Noah Robinson, a married man. He was adopted when his mother married years after his birth.

Of course it does. They would never be allowed to care for a child without being surrounded by adult minders and cameras. Why even pretend otherwise?

What a load of

1. BHOI knows nothing about economics - so how is the blind going to teach anything but blindness. See BHOI’s education and his current ruling style.

2. This is nothing more than using minors for political gain - “See we are just like you” therefore you should blindly follow my edicts.

I would hate to have to submit to a Secret Service/FBI/DHS background check just to have his daughters baby sit my children. Can you imagine the amount of total disruption of your lifestyle and privacy such an event would cause?

.....and would one have to pay taxes on the added value of having the Secret Service agents that tag along.

Whoever hires them will have the most secure babysitting service ever offered.

If you added up the entire package, what would it be worth per hour?

Being such a devout Christian, I’m sure Oilbama named his daughters after saints. Funny, I don’t remember a Saint Malia or Saint Sasha!

A 2 year old article says they were getting $1 a week. My kids got that much 40 years ago. Of course, my kids did chores beyond the normal stuff like making your bed etc .

My daughter was soooo cute at their ages. She just loved trying on my $600 shoes.

It’s a good deal for those that hire them. These babysitters will come with a couple of Secret Service agents to help them.

Well I guess if you hired one of the girls to babysit you would be assured your kid would have plenty of supervison.

1. Presidents daughter

16 Secret service agents
Ambulance
Helicopter on call
Streets in front of child's home blocked
Satellite trucks from all networks covering the “event”

Back from dinner and a movie with spouse, full body scan by SS before you can get your child back from first daughter. Smarter to drop the kids at the Whitehouse, well maybe not, who knows what they would be put through?
