Bush twins offer advice to Sasha, Malia Obama
Bush twins offer advice to Sasha, Malia Obama

(CNN) -- Jenna and Barbara Bush know a lot about growing up in the White House.

The Bush twins told Sasha and Malia Obama to "remember who your dad really is."

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/21/bush.twins.letter/

The twin daughters of former President Bush were 7 when their grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, was inaugurated, and 20 when their father became president.

Like their dad, who left a note for President Barack Obama, Jenna and Barbara Bush wrote Tuesday to Obama's daughters about what to expect in the weeks and months ahead.

"We also first saw the White House through the innocent, optimistic eyes of children," the twins wrote in an open letter published in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal. Growing up in the White House »

The twins reminisce in the letter about important events and historic moments they were able to be part of in a presidential family.

But the Bushes also tried to prepare Sasha and Malia for some sobering truths.

"Although it's an honor and full of so many extraordinary opportunities, it isn't always easy being a member of the club you are about to join," they said. "Our dad, like yours, is a man of great integrity and love; a man who always put us first. We still see him now as we did when we were 7: as our loving daddy."

re "Our dad, like yours, is a man of great integrity and love"

YOUR "DAD" IS A FUCKING MONSTER AND THE WHOLE WORLD DESPISES HIM. THE TWO OF YOU WON'T GROW UP UNTIL YOU COME TO TERMS WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT THAT HORRIBLE PERSON THAT TRIED HIS BEST TO FUCK UP THIS PLANET AND TAKE DOWN THIS COUNTRY. and if you really believe what you told those two little girls who are now living (legitimately) in the white house then you both have your heads up your asses like your old man.
