[Thrill]

[AtomicKitten]

1. I wonder why Malia didn't bring a buddy.

K&R

[TeamJordan23]

8. she's got her dad. nm

[Hope And Change]

2. K & R!Thanks for posting!

[AlinPA]

3. Can you imagine what the right-wing racists are saying about a white girl being a friend

of the president's daughter? Republicans and Fox "News" are pulling out their hair. Bless those little kids.

[lynnertic]

7. Honestly I can't imagine. But that's cause I don't care...

[greguganus]

25. They probably are saying the Obamas bought her. n/t

[Top Cat]

31. I think it is beautiful......

[firedupdem]

45. Probably the ones that don't get out much....my family is so diverse

it's just normal for us. We don't even see color until some outsider brings it up.

[Vektor]

51. My god...

If they seriously have a problem with two sweet little children being friends they are sicker than any of us could have imagined. I sincerely hope they don't go there.

[Drunken Irishman]

4. Wow, what a lucky friend.

Imagine getting to go to Camp David with the Obamas.

I am sooooooooooooooooo jealous right now.

I want to be a 7 year old girl!

Uh, yeah.

[muffin1]

5. What a beautiful family.

Thanks for the pics. I never tire of seeing them. Hell, I'm wondering if I will ever stop getting chills when I see them!

[monmouth]

6. Sasha is sidemouthing to her friend "I gotta do this wave thing" and

girlfriend loves it.. How cute.

[Cha]

11. Cracks me up! It's like the time

Sasha gave cheney her hand to talk to when Obama was being sworn in as Senator in 2005.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

12. I thought she gave him her hand to give him a high five.

I remember hearing President Obama tell the story. Right after he was sworn in as a US Senator, Cheney reached down to shake little Sasha's hand and she put up her hand and gave him a high five.

[Cha]

17. But, all some of us saw

was the pic and the pic didn't tell that story. It was more like "Talk to hand, evil dude".:rofl:

[Mira]

20. I did not know that, and I believe this just made my day. That old nasty man

probably was so clueless, and the kid did not care.
What a memory.

[Enrique]

34. lol

I gotta do this wave thing. :rofl:

[bluestateguy]

9. I could have sworn that girl looks like one of Joe Biden's granddaughters

nt

[Stephanie]

16. She might be

I think his grandkids go to Sidwell

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

18. Yes indeed.

Biden's granddaughters do indeed attend Sidwell. I think its great how the children enjoy each other. It sure did make the transition smoother.

[Kahuna]

21. She looks like a Palin girl to me....

:scared:

on edit: that little girl with Sasha sure is cute Palin or not.

[Arugula Latte]

39. Here is a picture with Joe w/ a granddaughter about that age. Looks like a different girl, though:

[Bobbie Jo]

10. I love having real kids in the White House.

How awesome is that. :)

[lunatica]

19. I do too. I never thought about it but knowing the White House has children

and their grandma in it really warms my heart. Family values-wise. LOL!

[Baby Snooks]

42. Instead of the bars...

The Bush twins seemed to spend more time in the bars than they did in the White House. Like father, like daughters?

[alsame]

13. Look at Sasha's shirt! Love, hope, happiness, kindness,

caring, understanding...I can't read the others. What a great shirt.

[peace13]

15. And the jacket with upside down peace signs.

Peace is in distress. She keeps that in her dads face. I love it. I think Obama knows what he's fighting for. Peace, Kim

[alsame]

27. Oh, I didn't even notice the peace signs! It's so cool that she

expresses herself this way.

And yes, I think our President is very aware that he will help shape the world that his daughters and grandchildren will inherit.

[alsame]

28. Dupe. Sorry.

[Triana]

26. Me too - love her shirt and jacket - cute outfit! n/t

[muffin1]

36. OMG!

Love the BHO/MLK pic!

[Norrin Radd]

48. I can read blurry words:

love, friendship, hope, sharing, happiness, caring, kindness, laughing (or laughter?), understanding

[Jennicut]

14. I love Sasha's clothes, peace signs! And Malia seems to get taller every day.

She is going to top Michelle's height some day. :)

[MadMaddie]

38. I was thinking the same thing, Malia is going to be very tall.

[rvablue]

22. Great pics. And I hope the First Family goes there as much as they possibly can

it's such a short distance away and the girls can be outside and ride bikes and be normal little kids with no prying eyes.

[MrPerson]

23. I hope they scrubbed the Bush Stench out.

[Window]

24. K/R. Thanks for sharing. Lovely family. Makes my heart sing and swell.

:kick:

[grasswire]

29. Obama doesn't need a jacked embroidered with his name and rank...

...apparently, to tell him who he is. Ha! No narcissist.

[Hekate]

53. You're right. The Chimp needed to have the Presidential Seal plastered everywhere on his person

Boastful little twit -- probably had it tattooed on his butt, too.

Hekate

[tanyev]

56. Could we have 8 years without presdenshul seal cowboy boots and ankle socks?

Yes we can!

[whistler162]

30. A vacation already..... ;)

[givemebackmycountry]

32. uuuhhhh, it's just a guess right now but....

I have a feeling that maybe some right wing tool, oh I don't know, like Drudge.
Yeah, that guy.

I'm looking for the over/under on how many hours it takes for some right wing, rat bastard like Drudge, or some other asshole to start screaming about the little girls jacket.
I hope it ain't coming.

And she's so cute too.
And going to Camp David has to rock.

[Undercurrent]

33. Wonderful to have a vibrant first family!

Malia is growing like crazy, and Sasha looks like she has grown too.

[politicasista]

35. What a cool First Family

And the lucky friend too. :kick: :)

[asphalt.jungle]

[gblady]

40. thanks

for the video....
I've never seen how they closed it up before....

[firedupdem]

47. Hillarious! Sasha does a quick salute! Adorable family! n/t

[Raine]

41. I LOVE this family

so much :loveya: it actually brings me to :cry: :-)

[Odin2005]

43. Cute picks! Malia is growing like a weed! And I love Sasha's shirt and jacket!

Nice that the kids have Grandma with them, too!

And Sasha dragging her pal along = :rofl:

[Eurobabe]

54. I noticed that too

she has grown by leaps and bounds since 2007, hasn't she?

[JI7]

44. Sasha loves the Peace Sign

[firedupdem]

46. Beautiful! Glad they are getting away overnight! n/t

[dascientist]

49. Malia is going to play college basketball, I can see it ....

[Hekate]

52. She can come out here to UCSB-- the Lady Gauchos are a great team...

... and academically we're no slouch either. Or maybe she'd like to go to a smaller, quieter place her freshman year.

But she sure is as tall as she is pretty.

Hekate

[JeffreyWilliamson]

50. Ha Ha!

Same Marine in these pics that he surprised by shaking hands with after the first flight!

Too bad Malia didn't have a friend as well. I bet the racists' heads are exploding after seeing these.

Folks, we have a young, vibrant, and beautiful first family that represents all of us.

Drink it up!

[BeyondGeography]

55. Trying to estimate the wingnut head explosion potential of Sasha's outfit here

Coming up with 99.99999999999%.
