After it was reported Monday that Malia Obama was going to Mexico for spring break with 25 Secret Service agents, people began to notice that such reports were being scrubbed from the Internet.
Politico's Dylan Byers reported Tuesday this was done at the request of the White House:
The AFP page for the story now links to a story titled "Senegal music star Youssou Ndour hits campaign trail," as does the Yahoo page. The Huffington Post page now links directly back to the Huffington Post homepage. The Daily Mail, Telegraph, and Australian stories now lead to 404 error pages, reading "page not found."
In an update, Byers explained who was responsible for the scrubbing:
Kristina Schake, Communications Director to the First Lady, emails to confirm this was a White House effort:
From the beginning of the administration, the White House has asked news outlets not to report on or photograph the Obama children when they are not with their parents and there is no vital news interest. We have reminded outlets of this request in order to protect the privacy and security of these girls.
It should be noted that Malia is 13.......

Scrubbing the story seems to be causing more of an uproar rather than the actual vacation.

The owebuma family is entitled to anything they want, as much as they want, whenever they want it.

There are parents on the trip. The public just doesn't know who. For all WE (the public) knows, Michelle's mother is along on the trip.
I was a homeroom mother for my kids all through elementary and middle school. Here, when the kids go on a local field trip, it's req'd that there be 1 parent for every 4-5 kids on the trip.
Both my kids went on a trip at the end of 8th grade to NYC for 5 days. The kids in each grade were divided into pods. The middle school was divided into pod sections. Each "pod" has 2 entrances from the main hallway into a large anteroom that held the kids lockers, 4 classrooms and a teachers office. Both my kids were in the same pod for 8th grade (yes, I did make sure that they were in that particular pod :-) ) At the end of the school year, the week AFTER school ended, if the kids had had good conduct the entire year (it was on a point system) the kid could go on the trip. The teachers required 1 parent for every 3 kids, and that parent slept in the same room with the kids to make sure the kids stayed in their rooms at night, and that no one wandered off. Doing this also took some of the liability off of the teachers.
I would not be surprised at all to find out, that there is one parent for each kid, if not a parent then someone the parent trusts. After all, the US government is picking up the tab for their protection! If we were having a normal March, the weather would be crappy in DC this time of year. Who wouldn't like a trip to a nice warm sunny place in Mexico, to stay at some swanky place? (there is no way they are in even a 3*** place. these are rich kids! )

I like where your mind is on this, your money, not so much.

The kids are safe...25 secret service and no telling how much drug cartel muscle with the very best of the fast and furious equipment guarding them.
