Exactly. The girls must have had an opinion of their own.
Michelle looks like she’s above the fray.
On a personal level, politics aside, the Obama daughters have had their lives fundamentally transformed. They went from relative obscurity but somewhat normal lives, to living in the White House for the biggest part of their growing up years. They have not had the chance to be normal kids.
Then again I figure the Obamas will imitate the Clintons and do the whole family foundation / speaking fees/ money laundering thing, so these girls won’t have to work a day in their lives. They will be like Chelsea Clinton in a $10 million New York condo, and live the life of celebrities if they choose to do so.
Off topic, but why have Chelsea and her husband been immune to liberal criticism for working for evil hedge funds? Then one of Bush’s daughters becomes a teacher but gets no accolades from liberals for that career choice, when liberals love to tout their devotion to children and education???
