Barack and Michelle Obama are dealing with a complete lifestyle change as their time in the White House has come to an end. Sources describe Michelle as having a tougher time than the former president at adjusting to the changes that the last few months have thrown their way. With that said, it appears that both have shifted their attention to their eldest daughter, Malia, who at 18 is on her own for the first time and making headlines recently for her antics inside a 21 and over nightclub.
Recent events have Michelle and Barack worried about Malia, according to Celebrity Insider. Even though she is 18, that is not a magical age where a button is pushed and a maturity level rushes in and takes over. Being out on her own in New York City has Malia spreading her wings and making some less than stellar decisions along the way.

The Obamas have developed a thick skin when it comes to all the rumors and gossip about them, but as parents they are not immune to the buzz about their daughter and they are not sure just what to do.

They know their daughter has a good head on her shoulders and they trust that she will make good judgments, with a few mistakes thrown in, which is all part of the process of growing up. Still, at only 18-years-old, she is in the Big Apple on her own and after the recent episode in the headlines there appears to be some need to worry.

What kind of moral compass does Malia have?
Anything is OK as long as it is “for the cause”?
She should not be “punished with a baby”?
Seriously, What morals has she been taught?
White is bad and Black is good?
Hard to know.
Yes, the ex President is so concerned for his daughter that he took a month of to go to Tahiti, just about as far away from NY one can go w/o getting closer.
She got wookie!
To milk the gub mint teat as long as was possible until we quit paying for their everything.
The mooch probably won’t be taking too many of those multi million dollar vacations any more either since again, we won’t be footing the bill.
it’s the judgment of Barack/Michelle that is in question here. i believe they allowed Malia to intern with Lena Dunham - a year or so ago. really? strike one. then they agreed to letting her be on her own in NYC at 18. really? now they are surprised she is acting out. really? strike three. kids that age are not mature intellectually and need to be allowed to make mistakes in a supervised environment (of course most universities these days don’t really qualify....!).
Showing off her 18 year old cheek b4 it gets m=like her mom’s.
“Why did she need a Gap year?”
Who knows...
I had a ‘Gap Year’ and really liked it. Spent a good part of it working for a friends father who was running for Governor (R).
Good time!
I’d like to believe we’re better than them.
This article is utter and complete garbage. Sure, Barack is really concerned about his daughter(s), that’s why he’s thousands of miles away frolicking with his “friends”. God only knows what Mooche is up to with her live in ValJar.
Google Martin Nesbitt and Dr. Anita Blanchard and compare their photos to the Obama girls. The girls bear a striking resemblance. It’s certainly not definitive, but it’s interesting.
Kumbaya, kumbaya
Well ... yes, of course. Barack still plays golf. Not much has changed. Michelle is left as a former food czar whose writ has been reduced to her own family, which has never paid any attention to it. Now that she can't impose it on schoolchildren, she's at loose ends.
Sounds like she has her mother’s attitude and her father’s habits ... an awful combination.
And some of us are not.
Either she is just like the rest of them or she wants to be. What would be worse I have no idea!
I can imagine how tough it would be to lose your entourage of 25 plus people tending to your every whim and demand.
The horror...
I really don’t think it is appropriate to dragging the lives of the girls across the media stage. I do, however, want to point out that the propaganda media would spread (and do) every bit of dirty laundry on a conservative candidate’s child. It just shows the hypocrisy of the media.
They trust that she will make good judgments.
Hasn’t worked for the Obama clan yet wouldn’t count on it.
I though maybe you were being factitious about that comment...
I can't find a single picture either...
Interesting...
We ought to leave her alone yes. But those parents don’t give two hoots about her. If they did they would not be paying the bills to leave her footloose in Manhattan at that age with no real job or school going on.
A gap year is like playing Russian Roulette. Can I take lots of risk, be out of studies for a year and will I be able to ever muster up the self discipline to go back to studying and a life of demands instead of partying, who knows lets roll the dice & see if I get AIDS, addicted, Roofied by my moral upstanding friends or if I’m safe and working towards my furure in a year.
