She’s an 11 year-old girl. I think we can hold off on speculating about her future based on one fashion choice.

Malia’s peace-sign T mixes politics with fashion
Malia Obama is getting into the political arena without uttering a word. Instead, she’s letting fashion do her talking.

Just a couple of days after President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev agreed to cut back on nuclear weapons, the 11-year-old was spotted in Italy wearing two T-shirts that blared anti-nuclear sentiments.

As the president readied for the G-8 talks there, Malia turned out in a gray T-shirt bearing the famous Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament’s peace sign logo during a visit to the Coliseum in Rome.

(For the record, mom Michelle Obama went more neutral in a white cotton silk dress by Narciso Rodriguez with a turquoise star-burst brooch).

Later, Malia changed into a mottled white and gray top bearing the peace sign.

Malia is a quick study. Likely she’s learned a lesson or two from mom, often celebrated for her high style.

She knows that fashion can send strong messages. And these T-shirts definitely had clout.

And Amy Carter was a pre teen as well, IIRC
