Personally, I’d like to shake Elizabeth’s hand. Then, I’d get in touch with every connection I can to help her get a new job.
Article would make a point if it provided some evidence of "government retribution or arrest."
I’m not a fan of the Obama girls, but they are young girls and their dress was appropriate for an informal occasion like this.
Unless they were involved in Mike Brown-type behavior, this was over the top. Leave the effing kids out of it.
And goodness, to read some of the hate this woman is getting after she was forced into making an apology; just shows no integrity and decency from the criticizers whatsoever. You can’t judge a person while behaving insanely hateful. Hello, America.
The woman had a right to speak or to post but she should have known the haters would attack and to know her liberal republican boss would distance themselves from her.
I see nothing wrong with disagreeing of how those kids do dress since they are the first children. The nasty stuff is not warranted for any child or young teen.
No it wasn’t, it wasn’t a day out shopping or with friends
My view is that children should always be left alone. After all, we don’t get to chose our parents.
-> dress was appropriate for an informal occasion like this.
Their clothes looked sloppy, not even an ironed look to me.
And, their attitude was like.. why do I have to even be here!!
Perfect set up for unhappy replies. That woman just blew off steam that many were probably thinking.
A first rule for congressional staff is to be invisible. Do NOTHING that puts the boss in the position of apologizing or making excuses for you.
Doesn’t matter if it was the truth.
It was a low blow to attack the president’s teenage girls, and it was stupidly counterproductive to the GOP/conservative cause.
The tricky part is that her specialty was PR and she’s now gonna have a hard time being a net positive on the PR staff of a conservative pol or cause.
I’m no fan either, but I think it was a bit over the line.
Heck, no doubt they weren’t royalty... but it was alot better than sweats and jeans!
If this broad wasn’t making such a stink over it, I wouldn’t even have noticed.
“Im not a fan of the Obama girls, but they are young girls and their dress was appropriate for an informal occasion like this.”
Nothing the President does is “informal.” Ever.
Aside from the Obama misses, how many mini-skirts did you see amongst the attendees?
It’s embarrassing behavior and should be called out.
The pictures speak quite well for themselves. And, yeah, it does speak to the parents, letting the girls look like that for a traditional ceremony. Let people draw their own conclusions.
WE can all see how sleazy the Obama girls/woman are, but this staffer should never have said so in public. WE can say so all day, but she could not. That’s just the way it works, and she should have known it.
i think this is getting to be over kill in the press, no? I mean let’s knock it off already.
I did not think they looked bad or out of place.
The skirts were short, but were not unseemly since they were paired with tights.
The styles actually conveyed an upper-middle class primness, and was quite similar in my recollection to what young women in the same social class wore in the 90s.
So either fashion for upper-middle class young women hasn’t changed in 20 years, or their style is dated.
Leave the kids out of it - I felt that about Bush’s daughters, I feel the same about Obama’s daughters. They aren’t public figures except by association, they didn’t ask for public attention.
An entire generation of children has been left alone. They have grown up to think they are special and can ignore rules and protocol.
The Obama daughters dress and behave inappropriately. They rarely smile. They look bored and surly.
If any of us had behaved like that at a function with our parents we would have been disciplined.
