Malia Obama joins Dakota Access pipeline protest at Sundance
The Mercury News ^ | January 27, 2017 at 1:14 pm | Tony Hicks

Looks like the Obamas aren’t done with politics. The 18-year-old daughter of recent President Obama was praised by fellow protester, Shailene Woodley, who also attended the event at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

“It was amazing to see Malia,” the actress told Democracy Now.

“To witness a human being and a woman coming in to her own outside of her family and outside of the attachments that this country has on her, but someone who’s willing to participate in democracy because she chooses to,” Woodley said. “Because she recognizes, regardless of her last name, that if she doesn’t participate in democracy, there will be no world for her future children.”

Malia left her family’s Caribbean vacation to attend the festival, before starting her internship for producer Harvey Weinstein in February, according to the New York Daily News.

Woodley has been a mainstay at the protests, even getting arrested at one point.

I’d like to see someone try arresting Malia with her Secret Service detail standing there.

The proposed pipeline would cross a river near Native American land and opposition is concerned it could contaminate the drinking water and damage Native American cultural sites.

President Obama halted the project until an alternate route could be found. Earlier this week, President Trump signed an executive order allowing the construction to move forward as originally planned.

She won’t even have to go to classes. She’ll be given a degree.

Is this the same POS that was wearing a peace sign shirt while her father sent troops into combat?

I'd guess that was 99% her parents' decision. These people don't do anything that isn't thought out and orchestrated.

Wow. What a bunch of weird semi-thoughts. Almost like the creature is trying to think, but none of the circuits work properly.

You can bet that 0 handed his little 0 the stick he has used for eight years to stick in the eyes of our country.

We just have to look away whenever they, pathetically, try to remain relevant.

Yes, that is how I saw it too. She is away physically from her family, but she still lives inside their bubble of liberalism. I never expected anything else.

Malia will freeze her nibs.

Well on her way to be a protest poster girl.

Oh well. Maybe by the age of 30 she will mature into being a Republican.

But she should stay away from the weed spliffs if she hopes to amount to anything.

Yep, this Film Festival is in Park City, Utah many miles from the Sioux Reservation
where the pipeline is crossing the tribal lands in North Dakota. What a stretch.....

They’ll be calling for her to run for president in 4 years. Instead of that old hag.

The Obama's are well beyond simply Liberal. They're hard left, outright communists, as are many in their circle.

“A protest at the Sundance Film Festival is a nerf protest. Where is the risk?”

Exactly. She should go to N. Dakota RIGHT NOW to protest. I hear they have 50” of snow up there!

“It reads like Shailene thinks of Malia as some sort of royalty...”

They practically deified Barry and the wookie for eight years. Why not beatify the little twerking princess?

What a brave social justice warrior. Standing up for the little guy and traveling in a style that would make a country club Republican blush with shame. She deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

Why does Malaria need a SS detail now?

She is 18.
She is joining in protests that may result in physical altercation.
May be ‘cruel’ but her SS detail should be pulled.

If parents say they ‘cant control’ her because she is 18, then THEY should be paying for security for her.

Why should WE be funding these activities?

I realize the cost of the detail is just a ‘drop in the bucket’ in the big picture but enough drops and the bucket overflows.

Same goes for BO & MOOCH.

What a bunch of gobblety-gook! Notice the “identity politics” at play here. The things that matter to the lefty-actress are Malia’s status as a female and a potential mother. The thing that allegedly doesn’t matter is the fact that she is an “Obama”. I say ‘allegedly’ because this star-struck actress probably wouldn’t have noticed Malia except for her last name. “Stupid” and “Ingenuous” are no ways to go thru life.
