Obama girls tour Washington private schools

Obama girls tour Washington private schools - USATODAY.com

"WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Barack Obama's daughters Malia and Sasha are in Washington with their mother checking out new schools.

Michelle Obama brought 7-year-old Sasha and 10-year-old Malia to visit the future first family's top choices, her spokeswoman Katie McCormick Lelyveld said Tuesday. She would not name the schools.

"She brought the girls to visit choices for their new schools to make sure they find the right fit," she said. "Their move to Washington is her top priority."

A small motorcade was parked at the back entrance of Georgetown Day School on Monday afternoon, with a few Secret Service agents standing around. The motorcade left after a group of people emerged, but Michelle Obama was not seen among them."

...this should be no ones business. This should be their private affairs.

And a security affair. They need to stop treating the Obamas like celebrities and realize that the future first family will need to stay safe.

Michelle should pick which school the kids will go to and send them there. Whats with kids touring schools? They are kids, they go where they are sent. They should be in school in Chicago in the meantime. They are missing classes.

How many people in these forums even get a choice of where their kids go much less giving the kids a tour to see what they like.

I agree with larry though , this isnt news , it's harrassment.

When I was looking at private schools for my daughter, we took her along w/ us. With as much as we were going to be paying, we wanted to make sure everyone would feel comfortable... Her included.

You guys are right thougth, this is a private personal matter..

anybody else find it entirely f-ed up that we live in a society that the need to protect a 7 and 10 year old girl exists?

I would bet a good 90% of the forumites never went to Private schools and dont send their kids to private schools.

I went where the county sent me, If I didnt like it that was tough.

Funny though that a man who doesnt think others should have that choice
{No Vouchers for schools} should be so particular where his kids go,
Kind of a double standard for the rich?? Dont you think?
