WASHINGTON, (AP) -- Malia and Sasha Obama learned a few tricks from Barbara and Jenna Bush on their recent visit to the White House — like how to slide down the solarium ramp, bottom first.
The daughters of President George W. Bush showed the girls their bedrooms, helped them jump on a bed and taught them a few ways to have fun, Laura Bush told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday.
"It was fun for the girls to get to show them not only (their rooms), but the way the big cross hall can be an obstacle course for little kids to run up and down, and the solarium ramp that you can slide down on your bottom. So they showed them all the special tricks," she said.
The twins also "aided and abetted" the Obama girls' running jump onto a tall bed.
"We usually put a step out for people to step into when they stay in that room. But instead the little girls did the running jump, and Barbara and Jenna of course aided and abetted

Nearly every thread is filled with this sniping that has nothing to do with issues. Its just cult of personality crap and our personality lost so now we have to be turds??? Next thing you know, people here will not only be excusing but suggesting that all the 'O's be removed from whitehouse keyboards. Remember how immature the other side was and try not to emulate them. Sheeeeeesh! I think I need a break from this forum.
Lots of zebra skin, shields, spears, the usual thing you’d find in a Kenyan shamba.
Please take off the political glasses. Maybe, just maybe the Bush girls were showing the Obama girls things that only presidential daughters can understand or appreciate when the entire world looks at everything they do thru a political prism that reflects on their parents. I give the Bush girls props for hanging with the much younger Obama girls, if for nothing else letting them know they understand the world which they about to enter. As Americans we can at least agree to stop the partisan hate when it comes to the kids. Much respect to the Bush girls for displaying the class expected of our first family!
I knew Barbara had all the class of the twins but when Jenna said that I knew Barbara also had all the brains of the two as well.
“Lots of zebra skin, shields, spears, the usual thing you’d find in a Kenyan shamba.”
Geesh!
Do you have to rub it in?
We’ll probably have tribe visits as well.
Now, Michele, my belle, can be proud of her country.
sigh
For crying out loud, THEY’RE KIDS. Let them be kids.
Your comment is the kind of crap you hear about on Daily Kos. Leave be.
It’s not a football game.
We all should.
All the Bushes are so frickin’ nice, it makes me sick.
I remember the way Zero talks about GW and how the Kartoons treated
them when they were coming into the WH. A*******!
Ditto and ditto.
You don't believe that she was playing with that old deviate's head?
I agree 100%. I hope the American people are perceptive enough to notice the contrast because the MSM will not call it to their attention.
Yes-— I think you’ve hit on the underlying objective of this ‘reportage’-—make the Bush girls look like children.
The Obama children [Sasha and Malia Anne] are what, ten and seven years old?
Just at the point where they are still fun to have around and just before the adults ruin them.
I early on in the campaign I spoke out in strong terms to leave the Obama daughters out of the mix but after the way Palin’s kids were treated I saw that my position was a position of weakness. If the enemy is willing to kill your kids you will not win the war by fighting a cleaner fight. If I see a shot Im taking it and will not “leave be”.
PC politics?
How about just common deceny?
There is something especially satisfying about getting in a jab about someone's children.
