In eight years, you have done so much. Seen so much. You stood at the gates of the Robben Island cell where South Africa’s Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for decades, your arms around your father. You traveled to Liberia and Morocco with your mom to talk with girls about the importance of education—girls who saw themselves in you, saw themselves in your parents, saw who they could become if they continued to study and learn. You attended state dinners, hiked in national parks, met international leaders and managed to laugh at your dad’s jokes during the annual Thanksgiving turkey pardon, all while being kids, attending school and making friends. We have watched you grow from girls to impressive young women with grace and ease.
And through it all you had each other. Just like we did.

Murder, I have to demur — no.
Assisted suicide was well on the way. Until America did get a clue and asked what all those tanks of gas and that mask were about.
That’s how God does things.
I really wish the girls well. Maybe they will understand that there really is life after Barack, and it looks uncommonly, on the secular stage, like Donald Trump.
I agree. As you say, they share an extraordinary, very rare experience. Not everything is political.
That’s how God does things — I mean lets people subject themselves to such destructive nonsense. Without this being possible, loving God would be a meaningless concept.
Why the barf alert? I thought it was a sweet gesture.
Also after Barack brought his faux-healing medicine show on the stage and it failed, Donald is bringing a far truer one.
That’s nice that they had a pleasant time in that cloistered world. Maybe the cat will lie down with the dog after all. Maybe they’ll wonder what the ruckus needed to be all about, decades from now.
Caught twerking once. Caught doing drugs and alcohol many times. Do a search. Also, check out her SS having to rush her out of parties so she wasn’t rounded up in raids. The latest while on vacy at Martha’s Vineyard which is why there is only the ice cream photo op and nothing else. There’s a rumor she was in rehab in the fall which is why she did a disappearing act for 3 months. She didn’t show up for several family functions - Turkey pardon, Christmas tree lighting, Veteran’s honor, being a brides maid with her sister, going to Peru, doing her summer internship in Spain, etc. I’m thinking it was her blonde party hearty friend who was bitten by the dog the other day. Maybe he didn’t like wacky weed smoke being blown in his face.
And they were fairly well insulated from the political goings-on, as much as it would be possible to be.
This isn’t even like Jimmy Carter asking his minor daughter Amy about nuclear war. That seemed trendy at the time, but there was something unseemly about it too. This was not the time to bring Amy into that kind of limelight.
Yet a private letter became publicized. Hmm, can't imagine why or how.
Ah, to have SS being your baby sitters... how can a kid be normal and really go wild if she chooses, including the go to jail experience? It isn’t fair. Rednecks do it all the time, usually emerging wiser but also ready to wisecrack about it at the right time.
The letter was hokey. They can all stick their privilege somewhere else. Clinton, Bush, Obama cabal has ruined this country. I care less about spoiled, bored and un-amused kids. What is relevant is that Obama is not the saint that this letter alludes to. I think most of the examples given are contrived and photo-op BS within very expensive tax payer fueled vacations. Obama has done nothing to help those that are referenced in the Bush letter. Millions of kids are suffering horribly throughout this country and world brought about by insane policies of the fathers. The children of our ruling class never have anything to worry about. This letter shows how out of touch they are.
So who would have done this, the Bushes junior or the Obamas junior? Perhaps the latter.
Well Obama DID help, in a back handed way.
He was an eight year display, to America and the world, that Socialism Is Double Plus Ungood. It fools you then it beats you virtually senseless.
I try not to be too ill humored about this with the Donald hard on Barack’s heels and having already overshadowed him when there was a month to go before Donald’s inauguration. Happy endings need sad middles to really come home to us, sometimes.
I agree. Why is this upsetting to some?
Yes.
That was strange, asking Amy Carter about nuclear war... It was using her as a prop. Unfair to the child.
The Bush twins did not want their father to run and were very seldom in DC. They are living private lives.
I was wondering how this became public as well.
Chelsea and Ivanka are friends. Obama called Chelsea after the election. Why aren’t people upset about that? I know you were being sarcastic.
Because their hatred of Obama extends to a pair of teenage girls. Which is of course irrational, stupid and juvenile, but they can’t help it. And they’ll attack anyone who calls them out (wait for it.....)
Or their mommies and daddies.
Like they showed it to Michelle, who then thought immediately about some political aggrandizing angle.
