If a group of like minded citizens is trying to establish or reestablish a wiser,fairer,kinder,gentler,more exceptional America then wouldn't it be more in keeping with reality to have an important successful public figure's child,and a very young one at that, volunteering in some capacity or another.
I seem to recall the outrage many conservatives felt when they learned that the young"volunteer" Americorps workers received compensation.
It is not difficult to see how thoughtless it may seem to an average American struggling with financial problems to parade your fourteen year old daughter's job throughout the media. I have to wonder if there may not be quite a few older persons with or without families that may be looking for work,how might they feel? And,how would we feel if Malia got a job selling papers at the White House news stand?
I am a former human resource employee in a public agency and I used to get sick and tired of requests to find work for high level bureaucrats and politicians children. I would suggest that they have their children volunteer for a couple of years so that they might be more ready to participate and improve the world we live in. Several of them thanked me and I found placement for their children in positions that allowed them to see the world they never saw from their nice homes and private schools.
Since it is by no means a choice job, I would guess the girl got it on her own. Why couldn’t she have. She probably is familiar with the place since she would often pass by it.
She decided she would like to work there and applied for the job. I doubt if there was a line of people breaking their door down trying to get such a low paying job.
