We all know First daughters Malia and Sasha Obama are big Hannah Montana fans. So when the Disney Channel people extended an invite to the First daughters to visit the set or maybe make cameos in the show, the girls were ecstatic.
The cable network said in a statement, “We’re pleased that Malia and Sasha are fans and, as long as their parents say it’s okay, they are invited to the set of Hannah Montana, and all Disney Channel shows, for a guest role or a visit, anytime.” Inviting the pair to make a cameo, Cyrus’ father Billy Ray told Access Hollywood, “They probably will. (Source)
But the elation didn’t last long: Obama coolly turned the invitation down. Explaining his decision to keep his daughters out of the limelight, Obama told Good Morning America, “Generally, what makes them so charming is the fact that they’re not spending a lot of time worrying about TV cameras or politics, and we want to keep it that way.”

Good move Obama.
Im glad he said a big fat NO to that idea!!!
that oldest one is tall as hail. she almost taller than pops.
i understand his decesion. good parenting.
i respect his decision. they are already being thrust into the spotlight just because of him being the president.
Ditto! That little girl Miley AKA Hannah Montana is 15 years old, and has a 20 year old boyfriend. I could see people reversing that child’s actions against the Obama girls. I am glad he said no:-)
i agree with obama.
whats the point in a cameo?
cutie i forgot about that whole 20 year old boyfriend thing.
i’m soooooo happy he made that decision…i’d rather him consider getting them a second puppy…malia is very tall and they’re both adorable, especially natasha (aka sasha)…
Smart move President Obama. Wow! it feels so good to say that. President Obama
This was a great choice being at that age and them not knowing what this world is capable of, to keep them innocent is a great move. You can just see it now come and be in the audience the first time but second let’s put you in the show…GREAT MOVE!!!
i agree this was a good call. folks got gully behind those hannah montana concert tickets earlier this year. and she is NOT a great role model either.
Disney = Freaks or Nude pics on the Internet……
Well I respect his decision BUT He really needs to keep them out of these YT Celebrity magazines ALSO…
And I’m speaking as A Responsible Parent Myself
good decision Mr POTUS!!!
off topic***
resident ATLIENS-
I’m thinking of surprising my guy with a trip to the A for his birthday. Thinking of going for New Years.. what’s cracking bringing in 09???
PAGESINADIARY… My husband took me to Maxwell here is Houston last friday for my b-day… we were 3 rows from the front directly in the middle… I have to know if this was staged… Did he talk about women throwing their panties on the stage then magically a pair appears? He actually put them on the microphone and sang to them…LOL this was towards the end. But it was a GREAT show…
Please tell me where the term POTUS comes from?
This statement or decline must have just happened because MY local news just ran this story this morning and it was stated that the POTUS was awaiting an OFFICIAL invite. Even if he did decline, Im glad, they way the media tore him up for letting his daughter say a sentence………….

Maxwell is a GREAT Performer
@#15:
Too early to say, our clubs down here switch from week to week, may be poppin this week over here next week over there.
when the heck was the Prez on GMA? I miss everything!
Hmmmm…don’t question his parenting skills. Miley Cyrus ain’t no role model.
I guess all 15 year olds should have 20 year old boyfriends? You know she’s F!@#$n!!
You need to question the parenting skills of Billy Ray Cyrus…
Good call, Barack!
Im glad he’s keepin them off Disney … Miley 20 y/o boyfriiend … Jami Spears .. knocked up and a mother at 16 .. GOOD MOVE
Good Move President Elect Obama !!
Can you blame him? The way the media went in on them the last interview…besides, Hannah Montanna is a fass ass, and a pre-teen icon.
And it ain’t safe, running around all willy nilly - some people are still bitter and subject to do something to hurt or harm the girls.
GOOD!!!
thanks keely
I’ll be watching!! Trying to decide between Vegas and the A. My friend is supposedly already going down there, and I’m trying to make it a big group things.. but he likes to gamble but I have heard Vegas will be inflated around that time.
That’s right “Michelle”(cause she da one running the show) Don’t allow these ppl have something to say,(i.e all barack concerned about is his daughter being on tv)
I agree with the First Family’s decision. Radiance and Rosebud (their secret service names) need to be protected at all times!!…
LMAO…I GUESS Sasha said she ain’t bout to front for the cameras. Take the damn picture…
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOObama!
Good parenting. Smart move….
They (the media) just want to continue to build him up to TEAR him down anyways!
Good move
Instead of “Good job Obama”, we all NEED to be saying:
Excellent job and Job Well Done to Sandra for not taking this snippet and turning it into another crazy negative Obama post.
KUDOS!!!!!
GOOD JOB to Sandra!
I knew they wouldn’t allow it and I’m glad they didn’t. Hollywood is no place for children as has been proven time and time again.
You need to question the parenting skills of Billy Ray Cyrus…

She must take after his uncle (he introduced Michelle at the DNC and is about 6′8)
Also I think this was a good call the last thing we need is them getting mixed up with the hollywood crowd
@ kwallace,
heffa miley change her name to “miley ray cyrus”. she was born destiny.

Although I do find myself surfing channels I have watched many episodes of “Hanna Montana. Destiny, Hanna, Miley wants the black viewers. LOL. She is the bread winner in the family and will be a billionair empire next year. She is too big for her britches. As I said before , Raven Symone may be alittle older than Miley but she has still remained true to her upbringing and herself.
Not sure why one would change their name from Destiny to anything else. Our next president was Destine to be where he is and no one was going to stop him. My brother questioned my support of Mr. Obama when he was first campaiging. He(my brother) asked me if I believed Mr Obama would be our next President? I said yes. My brother said why? I said you have to have faith and believe it. Also you can’t change someones “Destiny” no matter how hard you try. I thought my brother was going to vote for McCain because of his tax bracket and where he lives. My brother voted for Obama and he said that when he saw that he won the only thing that he could do was “cry”. Of course that made me start crying all over again, but cries of joy are so precious.
PS. Miley, Lindsey and “The Olsen” twins need to lay of the cigs. I really am not sure if Miley smokes but her voice sure sounds like it.
great parenting!
Good Morning - I agree with Mr. Prez…..
Coa - there is alot that goes on out here…just pick your spot and get there early. As for Vegas, I did tha a couple years ago. FUN FUN FUN…….but yes, a lil more than a regular trip of course. But if you start looking now you may find some deals.
I’M GLAD HE SAID NO!!! THEY MADE A BIG DEAL WHEN HIS DAUGHTER WAS INTERVIEWED ON T.V.!! SHE CAN’T HELP IT SHE’S SMART LIKE HER DAD AND MOM..AND HE SAID HIS DAUGHTERS WILL NEVER DO THAT AGIAN..NO!!
