First Day Of School
The Obama girls -- Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7 -- started class today at the exclusive Sidwell Friends School in Washington. They follow in the footsteps of another First Daughter -- Chelsea Clinton -- who attended the private Quaker school.
Courtesy of the transition, here are photos of Pres.-elect Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and the girls as they got ready to leave their temporary home away from home, the Hay-Adams Hotel, for Sidwell.








i think it is sick and irresponsible to follow those girls around, especially because it endangers their safety and privacy. It's getting shameless...would have expected it from TMZ, but CNN? IRRESPONSIBLE REPORTING!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe keeping the President and his family out of the media should be added to the Bill of Rights. The constant attention surrounding President elect Obama's children not only endangers them, it creates a security threat for his entire family as well as the US. Be responsible.
Sasha looks frightened looking out that window. Do people realize what a sacrifice this family has made to come to DC? Dear God, keep them safe. And media, if you want to "do the news about children," I can give you a list of about 1,000 other places where your presence might do some good.
Are you f'n kidding me????
check out the tuition for this so called school.
membership has its privledges....
Pinky's high in the air.....
I wonder who actually pays for it?
hmmmmm...looks like obama got the golden ticket after all..............
Shows what you know pooty? The Obama girls have always gone to an exclusive private school the UCLS ( University of Chicago Lab Schools) and the tuition is only about 10000 less and I am sure that Michelle and Barack can afford to send them where ever they choose why because that is what upper middle class and wealty people do is provide there children with the best education possible and they can do that becuase of hard work and achievement so hate on hater
I think it is sooo sad...I have interest in seeing the girls too, but imagine being 7 years old and having people escort you to school..secret service agents with you..this is very sad.
The photo of the younger daughter "being driven" to school indicates by her position that she is not wearing a seat belt. Please, tell me that is not true.
Was a motorcade really necessary to bring these two little girls to school? Wouldn't a single car with adequate secret service protection have done just as well? The photos were not paparazzi but published by Obama's 'transition team'. How sad that these children are being exploited in this manner--and by their own parents! The parents should be the ones demanding that their girls are kept out of the spotlight and treated as normally as possible.
Who in the hell is paying for his children to attend this school? The taxpayers? I hope not. I'm gonna be really pissed off if my tax dollars are paying for those two kids to attend a school that costs $29,000 a year a piece for the two of them!! I would love for my children to attend a school that costs that much. Hmmmm, if he has faith in the "public" schools, then why don't his children attend public schools? Oh, that's right, his children are too good for such stuff that the "commoners" do.

Mrs. Obama made $216,000 a year at the her last job; maybe she actually saved some money from her salary. And if I am not mistaken the future president is also a lawyer. Imagine...hard work paying off in America to such an extent that you can pay for your children's education. hmmmm
Hmmmm May I ask where you went to school since you can't seem to understand that two Ivy League grads can't afford to pay for private school for their children?
I dont care what they make or what good old boy network education they received.It is a clear case of egregious and disgustingly overly inflated price to go to any school,unless maybe harvard or some mythologically touted school.I was in a position to go to any school as a child.However,my parents thought I ought to be aware that contrary to what I might think there are actually benefits to attending a public school,one of them being that there is more to the human race then what you are accustomed to within your inner circle of friends and that possibly be exposed to such would result in a better understanding of the most important race of all,THE HUMAN RACE.I looked at the tuition for harvard and stanford there rates are about 50,000 per year.I can maybe see where you might invest in that.However,what is that we are saying in this country?That it takes money to make money???Hogwash,thats all an elitist smoke screen.I did not attend any college nor did I attend private school.However,I am in the top 5% of earners in this country.I did hang around with kids who did go to private school,most were ungrateful,some became addicts,and some are dead.Oh and yes a few did become successful.But I can say the same for people that went to my school.When is this country going to wake up and get on the same team,offering excellent opprtunities for all???Probably never I guess the rich a priviledged need someone to wash there cars.
I do not debate that the obamas are hard work and well educated,but we all know that being who they are now is just the begining of the priveledged and over the top spending spree life style associated with anyone in there position.
"Its good to be the King"-mel brooks
I dont hate I just observe and report it like I see it,along with many others in this country.
I am so sick of how Wolf Blitzer harps on the news regarding these girls! He never lets up with his coverage and it is sad that " The Best Political Team On Television" has to stoop so low and can't find someone else to tear apart. The President should have every protection possible for his family. Including private schools. GET A LIFE WOLF. Sorry if I didn't spell your name right. Move over and let Lou Dobbs have your job.
