President Obama’s older daughter, Malia, embarked on a secret three-month educational trip through the mountains and jungles of Bolivia and Peru with no special treatment allowed — except for the security detail.

Malia, who deferred her acceptance to Harvard for a year, spent October and November traveling with a group of teens through the Colorado-based Where There Be Dragons organization, which says it offers young minds a chance to “examine current political trends, social movements and environmental conservation efforts” in Peru and Bolivia.

Photos emerged Thursday showing the 18-year-old posing for a picture during a jaunt through Bolivia’s Cordillera Real mountain region.

She’ll make a fine tin-pot socialist dictator one day.

So she could have the typical Leftist training that all the old hippie Peace Corp arm-chair revolutionaries got in the ‘60s.

she had to defer going to Harvard for a whole year!

Why? Is it because she tried to get food stamps?

That guy is really dumber than a rock.

The fact that the ONLY place he could earn a living was as a politician really says something, eh?

Hey Bernie, is there anything you could do that would actually EARN money?

I wonder if the fact that there’s lots of stuff to smoke down there was a factor in her decision.

The Obama’s did not want anymore pictures of Mali smoking marijuana or anything else. It would be an embarassment to Obama!

For obvious reasons...

Bolivia is actually a surprisingly nice country, not as many tourists as Peru, and very inexpensive. The Salar de Uyuni is amazing and makes for great photos. I also felt quite a bitch safer than in other south american countries or in major european cities.

Yes, you can also chew coca leaves with a pinch of lime which you can buy in city markets - it helps any altitude related issues. I used it before going underground in the mines in Potosi.

It’s too bad we had to pay for her security there and I imagine the Harvard deferment is actually because she is a lousy student - they get to exclude her stats in the rankings since she isn’t starting with her class. It’ll be nice when the Obamas realize no one really cares about them once they lose power after tomorrow!

Anybody remember “Venceremos” in High School?

I do, I had no idea what it was at the time. Now I know.

She probably has aspirations to work for the DEA someday.

“I’ll bet that cost us a cool $50 million.”

No way.

It is likely that she flew down there with the group and not on a government plane.

After that, those trips are cheap.

The accommodations are very sparse.

Which one is she?

Tall or short?

I get Malaria and Sasquatch mixed up.
