The security issue is the ONLY thing I’ll cut the Secret Service (not Obama) a break on about this. If they felt it was so much better for the safety of the kids.
While governor, G. W. Bush’s daughters went to Austin High School. Jenna went to some regular college (in Texas) when President Bush was in office. And obviously not so “protected” that she couldn’t get into a little bit of trouble during the party scene thing as some college kids are inclined to do - not that I would know anything about that ;) Obviously not the same thing as a small child of course.
Leave the Obama’s kids alone.
Plenty of grist for the daily mill are provided by the antics of President-Elect Mr. & Mrs. Obama, not to mention other adult members of their extended family, foreign and domestic.
Leave the kids alone.
