Like, with George W. Bush’s daughters, there was the drunk driving incident. Jimmy Carter’s daughter was known as a rebellious spirit back in her day, and everyone knows of Bill Clinton’s marital issues in the White House.
Now, I’m not saying that family troubles is a good thing.
But every family has SOME problems, once in a while, and when our presidents’ families have them, I think on a gut level we try and relate to that.
Yet with Obama… everything his daughters and wife says is *too* choreographed, and unspontaneous.
I know in one photo one of Obama’s daughters was peeking out from under the desk while Obama worked… I’m sure they tried to replicate JFK, Jr.’s famous pic.
Anyway… what do you think?
