Obama Drops First Kids off at School

Sandra Rose November 13, 2008

Barack Obama waits in his SUV while First daughters Malia, 18, and Sasha, 7, head to school in Chicago.

Obama and his wife Michelle still haven’t confirmed whether the girls will attend public or private school in DC when he takes office in January.

Meanwhile, TMZ.com reports that Obama is busy searching for qualified applicants to fill positions within his administration. His peeps are circulating a detailed questionnaire among the interested job seekers:

There are 63 questions prospective nominees must answer. Barack wants to know if the person has sent embarrassing emails, whether that person has been accused of sexual harassment, late in paying child or spousal support. He always wants to know about arrests, and of course, those pesky housekeepers. Source

That Obama sure is funny. He wants to know every intricate detail about his prospective employees lives, but we still don’t know a thing about him.

And you gone quit saying that baby is 18.
missmiami

Come on Sandra, leave Malia alone. You are hillarious! The girl just has personality.
MUNCHOSGIRL

Well what do you want to know about him Sandra?
PAGESINADIARY

OH AND THERE IS NO QUESTION OF WHETHER THEY WILL GO TO A PUBLIC SCHOOL OR PRIVATE.

THEY ARE ALREADY IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL NOW. OF COURSE THE SCHOOL WILL BE PRIVATE.

I was listening to V103 the other morning and I believe Frakie Ski was hinting that Mayor Shirley Franklin my be going to Washington to work for the Obama administration. Is this true or even possible? What would she REALLY be doing in Washington??….it is alot of UNFINISHED business here in Atlanta that I would love for her to wrap up FIRST….if she does get an offer or accepts and offer that is already out there…..kudos to her, I guess.

i know plenty about him. i did my homework on all candidates i cast for. i don’t take voting lightly. i think it is safe to say since he is our new prez #44 alot of other voting americans feel the same.

What don’t you know about him, Sandra? Hell the Republicans ran his name through the sh!t and he still came out smelling like Dolce. Like he said, “His mother is from Kansas. His daddy is from Africa. Only in America can you get that.” LOL

Now you ain’t say sh!t about us NOT knowing about Sarah “triflin baby mama” Palin. But she is no longer relevant, so I won’t waste my time.

candi21

I get soo nervous seeing them outside like that. Cant they find them a school where they can exit the vehicle and go straight into a hallway or something?
LB

Like Katt Williams said: Barack has been running for 2 years and ain’t had no Baby Momma’s come out. He don’t own nobody $200 for nothing. No piercings, no tattoos….

lol
terika83

Why wouldn’t he? So bloggers like you can find out before he does and then say he’s made bad decisions in hiring these people?

What more do we know about Bush or Clinton that we don’t know about Obama? We know where he comes from, what his family was like and comes from…his favorite sport, what schools he went to…what else is there to know? His favorite color? Favorite food? Does all of that matter?
Naima

Once again Sandra Malia is not 18
terika83

and I heard they were attending a school that other famous people’s kids go to and the Bush’s kids went to.
DMNB

It does make sense, so you think he should just hire anybody, watch some of the tv programs and get his book if you are at all interested in knowing about him, but why do that, of cause you will found something negative to say. I personally don’t think his daughter act like she is 18, you are really over doing it. Why don’t you give us and yourself a break with this Obama stuff, oops I meant President Obama
shortstack74

Well DC public schools SUCK MAJOR AZZ, so I ain’t mad at him if his kids go to private school. Lastly knowing everything about prespective high level government officials is par for the course. It’s all apart of the process for obtaining a top secret clearance.
kwallace577

that is really mean about the baby too.

and i don’t know nothing about the pm of england..is it still tony blair? see i don’t even know who is running things over there. don’t know much about the queen either other than she is getting old and got a bunch of dysfunctional kids.

can you enlighten us about your folks over in merry ole england?
LB

She thinks because Malia speaks with proper grammar that she’s too grown for her own age. not that her patents have done a good job raising her or anything because that would be too much like right. Leave those kids alone. that’s low even for u
bloggergirlz

i’m sure the questionnaire they’re circulating is no different than what any other president-elect/president used prior to and after taking office…i just can’t see the application looking like it came from the GAP or Old Navy…apply for any federal governement job and see what happens…

I would bet my last dollar that if he didn’t check into their backgrounds and something negative came up about them….this would be the first website to beat him down into the ground about it. He’s damned if he does, damned if he don’t in some people eyes. Thankfully he doesn’t give a damn and neither do I.

Did anyone catch Palin on LARRY KING last night? I swear, she seems more ready to be part of a soap opera than being vice president.
LB

Whats funny to me is this: During Sarah Palin’s Matt Lauer interview, Palin and 7 year old Piper admitted that Piper missed a lot of school during the campaign and it was hard for her to catch up… And Sarah was only running for VICE president. While The Presidential Candidate only brought the kids out on the weekends and they missed NO school at all.

I find that hilarious how much is overlooked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Different priorities. Palin said on some show last night that her kids learned more campaigning with her than they would have learned in any class room. They may have but kids need a routine. She selfishly paraded her family around for her own gain. Too bad it back fired .
PS: Piper was also on the program and I guess Sarah got the memo. Pipers hair was not only combed she had a flip curl.

Yes, his kids should go to private school. And Ms. Sandra, what don’t you know about Barack Obama? His hat size, his shoe size, cause I know alot about him. We probably know more of his extended family in Africa than he does to be honest.

I can’t fault him for his questionairre. He is going to be under the great scrutiny. He is going to be living under a microscope magnified 100 times that of any other president. He has to make sure every T is crossed and every I is dotted. So I would go through everyone with a fine-toothed comb as well.

Lmfao @ coaretained !! You better WORK !! How is THAT for facts ?!
Also I think it is VERY childish to CONSTANTLY throw darts at a child. This is not being disrespectful Sandra, this is only being real. I think it is shows a LOT of low self esteem to pick on a defenseless kid, and for having GOOD GRAMMAR ?!? Come on ! Would you rather she was leaving the “ing” off her words and on YouTube freak dancing with some little boy ? This is the lowest of lows to me. You better thank your lucky stars that Michelle has CLASS and isn’t the type to catch you coming out of publix and give you the buisness for talking slick about her child. To me kids are OFF limits !

See here we go again.You are so negative when it comes to Obama.He is the first bi-racial president and if you don’t think that the media and other outlets aren’t going to find everything wrong with his team to make him look bad, then you’re the fool.He is taking all precautions before selecting individuals and he should.Everyone he selects for whatever position entire life will be disected.Just like his while campaigning.He would be a fool not to investigate his candidates.If he won’t believe me people just like you will. People who don’t want to see him succeed

Actually he made more than that, he just can’t keep it.

He made most of the $4.2 from his book deal. They did have a little money before he got elected. The girls school is between $20-28,000 per year per child.

These are two beautiful little girls that are going to live in the White House. Imagine that! I wish the best for all our children especially our children of color. Just today, a co-worker tells me about his 24 year old son and how he broke up with his main squeeze and somehow got another young girl pregnant, who’s already got 4 kids! He told his dad that he didn’t know she had that many kids. Younguns, please, please, please find out a little bit about a person before you have sex with them. (DC is the highest area with new cases of HIV/AIDS so er thang that looks good ain’t good but that’s old s***) Recently, I was discussing these issues on this board and someone told me to STFU! I wish they would be just as eager to advise young gals to keep their legs closed or pop a birth control pill er day or tell the fella to wear a raincoat. I’m just saying….(I love this saying.) Peace.
Candi Apple

Young people focus on the wrong things. Instead of chasing school, career, money, future they chase ass. Like ass is going to help them achieve goals. I know 30 and 40 yr old men still chasing a$$ and living home with mom because they have no life or they live from woman to woman. Grow up and get a life and a job and a education.

@ Pahairston I agree with you 100%.

Auntie Sandra with all do respect if you don’t know anything about Barack Obama then that is your fault for not doing your homework. Everything about his life good and bad has been in the news and all over the blogosphere world. Maybe you’ve only heard the bad stories about things we “don’t know”. That’s why it was up to you and everyone else to do their homework and make wise decisions based on your own findings and not on what you’ve heard on Fox News or what folks claim they “still don’t know” about Barack.
Here is what we all know for sure. Barack Obama is our President Elect. Like It or Not Barack Obama will be our 44th president sworn in on Jan 20, 2009. He needs to check the backgrounds of everybody that will be in his camp so that he and this country is not embarressed to have someone like a Sarah Palin getting bashed on every blog and news channel because she wasn’t vetted properly. Was that her fault? NOT AT ALL. But had someone ran a 63 question background check on Sarah Palin before throwing her out to the media dogs, then maybe she would be the VP Elect right now along with McCain as the President elect. So we should learn from the mistakes that we make or that we see others make. Barack Obama is doing the right thing to make sure he knows as much as he can about everybody on his team. That’s what a good leader is supposed to. If he has someone with a gray past and he decides to hire them anyway then he will be prepared to defend his decision should that need arise because he knew about it ahead time thanks to a background check. LEADERSHIP SKILLS is ANOTHER REASON WHY BARACK OBAMA IS THE GOOD MAN THAT HE APPEARS TO BE AND ANOTHER REASON WHY HE WON MY VOTE FOR PRESIDENT IN 2004 AT THE DNC BEFORE HIS NAME WAS EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT BEING ON A PRESIDENTIAL BALLAD.
I’m MJ, AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.

Sandra, I realize you were born in England, and feel you got the right to pick the people on your site to disrespect or the ones you go out of your way to kiss their behinds like most of the gutter snips in Atlanta in the music entertainment field who you are always pumping up on this site.

You got it twisted. We finally have a REAL MAN that we elected as our PRESIDENT, who has CHARACTER,MORALS and DIGNITY. I realize being from England, you are not use to people of his caliber, seeing as Queen Elizabeth and her clans are so screwed up, and blacks over there don’t have much of a voice, so I guess that’s why you are over here.

I don’t know if you have any kids, but I feel that our new President and his wife are doing a great job raising their children. Maybe you are only used to hood rats, but it doesn’t matter where you live, it’s about loving your children and setting a good example for them and making sure you can afford them and helping them be the best they can be.
