<< I would have hated it as a teenager to have had my father be president, and the constant snapping of pictures would be only one of the reasons. Every little misstep I made would be brought out, and I've had my share. >>
Except she is not a teenager any more and hasn't been for quite some time. She is 22 or 23 now. She has had time to develop into a poised young lady.
Also, she chose to be part of our official delegation to the inauguration of the Liberian president. She is an official representative of the USA.
If she doesn't want to be photographed she shouldn't go on official delegations.
The last time she went to Africa, she went as a private person -- last summer, when she worked as a volunteer in the hospital in Capetown SA -- & there were NO photographs when she was in Capetown on her own.
Thank you for that reply (I guess).
Six years ago, when President Bush first took office, both girls were teenagers. Remember the 'underage drinking margaritas at a bar' thing, to name just one instance out of many? That was what my post was referring to.
