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.

Can’t give a link to the story, but I remember reading it here. There was a guy who had researched these claims and debunked them. He, also, documented the fact that these “Native Americans” got onto this train only after some outsider came in and convinced them of many gains for them.

Yep, but they are allowed to have it both ways if the offspring is from progressive parents.

Whew ! For a moment I thought they were talking about MALIA OBAMA, a spoiled dingbat from a broken home where mom is likely a man and dad can’t operate an umbrella.

Should be spring-like weather, Malia. Dress accordingly. :)

Bo, the dog, had his own plane and SUV didn’t he?

BO (I use in the reference to BO as WE grew up with the meaning being YOU STINK).

Like I have declared from the git-go, I have NO problem with his Black ‘half’, if is his White ‘half’ I can not tolerate.

A protest at the Sundance Festival? I can just see it now... at the cocktail reception... “Attention everyone, please stand over here and hold these signs for the media photo op... we’ll say it’s a big protest. Dinner to be served afterward”.

I consider that she is no longer a “civilian”. Subject to political criticism like any other activist.

I agree, but when she became a political tool then she was exposed to criticism. That same father then insisted troops were “fighting for him”...
