compare and contrast -- 2 pictures of 2 daughters in presidential limos

[orleans]

no comparison

[uppityperson]

1. k&r

[zehnkatzen]

One is sweet and poised, and knows how to act in public ...

the other is crass and gross, and only knows how to act out in public.

See what happens when you don't have a dysfunctional upbringing and a daddy who's a dry drunk?

[Ken Burch]

5. Jenna's picture says "I'm a rich white girl and you can't stop me doing anything"

Wonder how long she'll stay married now that Daddy's out of office.

[Rocknrule]

32. No, to me it says "My life revolves around sex and beer"

[CreekDog]

17. And that one is seven

:rofl:

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. The values party has none

goes to show

[47of74]

3. The girl in the first picture shows 10,000 times more maturity...

...than the one in the second picture probably ever will!

[TahitiNut]

4. Sasha just OOZES "cute" in huge degrees. Some protocol coach obviously demonstrated the "hand wave"

... as taught to many thousands of aspiring beauty queens and (actual) queens for generations. So, in her new and nifty J.Crew gloves, she DOES IT.

:rofl: :rofl:

That kid just inspires hugs and tickles!



I'd put my life on the line to be her Secret Service agent in a heartbeat. In a heartbeat. In. A. Heartbeat.

[zehnkatzen]

6. Yes. Never above the tiara! n/t

[IndyOp]

23. I don't think she had a coach, she did that same wave when she was 3 years old

when her Dad was ceremonially sworn in by Dick Cheney. I can't find a video link for you, but I think she was born with that wave.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Just Like Her Dad Oozes Competence

And, he oozes "cool", too. Mom oozes both as well. Must be in the genes!

29. Rarely have I ever seen people with such healthy emotional balance, especially in politics.

I can see an occasional "loss of center" with Barack as he gave on-stage remarks time after time after time. He tends to 'disconnect' with the repetition, I guess. But it's noteworthy that Michelle seems to notice 'center' him with just the right emotional poke in the ribs. They truly seem to have a synergistic relationship - one with no detectable trace of codependency or dysfunction. I wish that were far more common. The kids reflect parenting that's every bit as healthy as the relationship between the parents ... it's something else.

7. Going after the family is just creepy

I thought Limbaugh was a creep for doing against Clinton's daughter. I think this is creepy as well.

Sorry.

Bad taste.

They ain't their parents.

[FreeState]

8. I agree - its creepy and uncalled for

the same thing happened with the Clintons and Democrats were not too happy about it. Leave the kids alone.

Besides Obama's daughter is much younger than the Bush daughters were - they were teenagers - thats what teens do - Sasha is only 7.

[silverojo]

9. Teens don't stick out their tongues--bratty little kids do

It's perfectly fair to go after someone who's made a fool of themselves in public. It's not like Chelsea Clinton, who did NOTHING to deserve Limpballs' nasty comments.

You're comparing apples and oranges.

[Qanisqineq]

10. I agree

Plus, I have no idea who Jenna (is that her name?) might have been joking around with that we do not see on camera.

[bluesbassman]

15. FYI - Jenna was 22,

and on the campaign trail with bush in 1994 when this shot was taken. She was hardly an "innocent" deserving of protection.

[TahitiNut]

30. 2004 ... not "1994" ... and YES, she was an (alleged) adult at the time.

(Screw the DU hand-wringers.)

[Celebration]

22. She was joking!!

Good grief, this is a ridiculous thread.

Sheesh.

And, no, I am not a fan of hers.

[CreekDog]

18. She's sticking her tongue out to cameras

give me a break. :wtf:

comparisons are now apt. :D

[Kajsa]

31. Yes it is!

n/t

[emilyg]

11. Leave kids alone.

[orleans]

13. oh please

i found that photo on a website of sasha, hadn't seen it yesterday and thought it was absolutely adorable.

then, i remembered the "other" photo

and thought what a fucking difference between the two

jenna is NOT a kid anymore--i think she can stand the heat--and why the hell should we ignore obama's daughters--they are adorable. and they were part of the big event that took place yesterday.

all you "leave the kids alone" need to lighten the fuck up

[CreekDog]

20. they are telling you to leave Jenna alone!

:wtf: :eyes:

[CreekDog]

19. not Jenna, not when she's got her tongue out

and not when she's 22. :eyes:

[CreekDog]

16. The 7 year old is more mature

hence the irony. :eyes:

[Cid_B]

21. Wonder what the reaction will be the first time...

... the new presidential daughters get in "trouble". Of course by the standards of this place trouble means having a drink, acting silly, being a child or just flat out being taken out of context.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together should be intellectually insulted by the idea that two random photos like this show the "character" of the individuals portrayed.

edit: typo

[bdamomma]

25. arrogance does not fall from the tree!!!! who is that Jenna or Barbara?

[Hepburn]

27. Jenna. n/t

[Hepburn]

26. The 7 year old has appropriate manners while the 20 year old does not.

Amazing what good parenting skills can do! :hi:

[47of74]

33. Both of the Obama girls are on the right track.

Unlike that frat boy's misbegotten brats.

[nini]

28. She was goofing off - big deal

really - Jenna was just goofing off.

I've done that as an adult and it certainly didn't signify I am uppity and disrespectful since I was just playing around.

btw: Sasha is the cutest female child on the planet. The cutest male child is in my sig line. :D

[arikara]

34. He is a sweetie!

And I agree with you about Jenna too.

:hug:
