Obama girls look at Washington private schools
 Source: AP

WASHINGTON – Malia and Sasha Obama are in Washington with their mother checking out prospective new schools.

Michelle Obama brought 7-year-old Sasha and 10-year-old Malia to visit the future first family's top choices, her spokeswoman Katie McCormick Lelyveld said Tuesday. She would not name the schools.

"She brought the girls to visit choices for their new schools to make sure they find the right fit," she said. "Their move to Washington is her top priority."

A small motorcade was parked at the back entrance of Georgetown Day School on Monday afternoon, with a few Secret Service agents standing around. The motorcade left after a group of people emerged, but Michelle Obama was not seen among them.

1. For once.....
 I wish ANY Rep, Senator, President, etc., would send his or her kids to public school.

3. Unlikely these days. Safety issues.
 I'm surprised they don't set up a school just for the kids of politicians in DC.

They have.  It is called Georgetown Day.

4. No way I want those little girls in a public school. I want them safe,
 and a private school is going to be inherently safer IMHO.
You ARE aware that the family is a prime target for white supremacists, aren't you?

12. I wish people here would stop thinking of Malia and Sasha as symbols
 instead as of girls with their own individual, human needs.

In this case, they've both been attending a private school for the kids of faculty at the University of Chicago. How do you think they'd feel about moving and giving up all their friends and everything they've known, only to be put not into a comparable private school, but into a D.C. public school -- just to give their father and D.C. some good publicity?

 How many threads at the DUmp have there been wishing everything from gang-rape, to death by IED, on Barbara and Jenna?

That type of thinking seems to be a pattern for the leftists.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Well, really, what sane person WOULD send their kids to the Democrat/Big-Government/Welfare-Society-created Hell of the DC public schools?

  :whatever:

Well I am a public school teacher and if I had children I would send them to a good private school. DC public schools are among the worst in the nation and I feel sorry for the inmates of that system, both teachers and students.

Totally agree, I wasn't being critical of Obama but of the DC schools, which of course were made that way by people exactly like his entourage of *cough* 'Reformers, community organizers, and social scientists.'

Too true. While I strongly support public education, the system is seriously broken and needs major reform, which won't be coming very soon. I think the College of Ed types, like Bill Ayres bear a lot of responsibility for the state of public education. Ayres and the third  rate intellectuals who inhabit the education establishment  have done more damage to the nation Ayres ever could do as a terrorist.

I agree, but he is a hypocrit for his position in the debates against D.C.'s school vouchers.
