I’m going with a long talk about Malia being a slacker.
There was no way her private school was going to kick out the first black president’s daughter over grades so she was able to coast her way through.
Now she has to sit out a year before heading to college and try to catch up so she make a reasonable attempt at looking prepared enough for progressive Liberal Arts professors to give her that BA.
Hanging out at concerts and rolling doobies isn’t part of that.
Maybe he needs to hire Matt Foley...
