[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Malia and her sister should be kept out of the public view unless they can act more grown up and poised. [/quote]

I think this is one reason why they are very rarely in public view. Except for one or two official events, I really only remember seeing pictures of them when they're returning from vacation with their parents or something. Unless I'm missing something I don't think they usually end up in the media all that often anymore.

They're teenagers; they didn't ask to be pulled into a high profile position simply due to their father's job and I do not think they are particularly well prepared to be in such a position.

This is either normal and appropriate if you don't believe kids of politicians should play a role in representing their families, or it is a failure on the part of whichever parent takes the primary day-to-day interest in raising them if you believe the opposite and that kids whose families are in such positions have a duty to something larger than themselves.

I tend slightly towards the latter point of view for teenagers or older.[/quote]

Those girls should know by that age how to act fascinated and attentive for a few minutes   And if they won't do it they should be left at home and out of the pictures. [/quote]

Come off it, most teens have no interest in politics.  They are under way more pressure than the average teen. [/quote]

Exactly. So either they are taught to take the pressure and start demonstrating an ability to do so (which may or may not be too much to ask from teens) or they get to act like more typical teens and avoid the pressure by being kept away from official events.[/quote]
