I don't equate paparazzi snaps of an 18 yr old college student at a private party to be the equivalent of appearing as representative of the WH and America's first family in a longtime presidential Thanksgiving custom, silly or not.

30 minutes of being polite and playing the game of looking interested in Thanksgiving, not eye rolling and grimacing, is a small price to pay for living in the lap of taxpayer funded luxury beyond most peoples wildest dreams

You nailed it.
