Yes I agree.

Eh. Malia is tall and skinny. As a former tall and skinny teen with long legs, it's actually really hard to find skirts and dresses that don't look too short, because the skirts that are short enough to fit your hips are shorter because they are a smaller size.

This. The only dress that my daughter owns that hits below the knee are the ones that I buy two sizes too big and then get altered. Most of her outfits look like tunics and leggings. I would have suggested tights/leggings for Sasha ...

Rep. Fincher's aid who wrote this is resigning. No link yet but breaking news on TV.

Seems like Republican staffers wouldn't have time for this kind of petty snarking at the president's children if they were working on an agenda of substance to help the country move forward. So much for legislative priorities. . . .

"Dug their own graves?"

Are you shocked to find out that the girls actually did smile? Well, they did. Maybe we should start calculating the percentage of time girls are supposed to smile while in front of the camera.

And that's fine. But they also looked mighty snotty. And just because they are the President's kids, doesn't mean someone can't say "Wow, those are some bitchy faces!".

Yes, because they are kids, I think it means someone shouldn't make comments. The key word here being "kids."

And by the way, they didn't look "mighty snotty." They looked momentarily bored. Considering how well they've behaved throughout their father's tenure, I think mature adults will agree they're allowed to look momentarily bored.

I think your memory is fading.

I suspect you were not even born then.

By regular mocking, I suppose you mean the one skit, which didn't make fun of an actual characteristic of her. Is that "regularly"?

Why do you think it was only one skit? Is it because that was all you could find on the internet? I was a young woman. It was a regular feature. Sorry I cannot provide proof to you, but it was a lot.

What most moms would say to the Obama girls' critic: Leave those kids alone

What exactly do you remember? That people raised a big uproar about her going to a public school that was predominantly black. For having an opinion about nuclear arms.

What do I remember? I remember that she was attacked about the State dinner and the book (and her parents were attacked for letting her come.) I remember that she was regularly mocked on SNL. Where were you?

And THAT is ok with you? She shouldn't have been a parody in ANY way. Would you like it if your children were criticized for the lousy job YOU are doing at work?

I think that one of the reasons the Clintons were so adamant about keeping press away from Chelsea was because of the treatment of Amy Carter. Again, it was a national joke.

SNL made fun of Amy Carter (Gilda Radner). That would never fly today

Thanks for the reminder. I just remember that she got a lot of ugly attention. The people on here who think the Obama girls have been treated badly have no clue.

The joke was that she didn't know history even though she's the President's daughter. Not exactly what you are leading people to believe.

She was a repeat character. She was a child. It was pretty mean.
