“A child of privilege who probably never worked hard in her life.”

A child of a Honeywell VP with no education whatsoever started as an expediter at the facility where I worked. He drove a fully restored Jaguar XKE. He dressed and acted like a muscular beach bum and weekends he motored around in his folks yacht with the other VP’s. In six months he’d doubled his pay and was working in a different department. I say “working” but actually he wasn’t doing much of anything as he wasn’t qualified. Six months later he was promoted again. When I left he was “managing” a large department and was up for a director’s job. Before I left he came by and chatted at us. Turns out he really thought he had worked his way up. He believed with all his soul that what had happened was due to his native raw talent and his fine skills. I think all of our mouths dropped open. When he left we shook our heads at, not only his sense of entitlement but his absolute faith in his infallibility. So, here he was, probably the youngest director ever, with his only skill being the son of a vice president.

Yep. Malia Obama will work on a Hollywood set for a summer and then she will have been one of the “little people” and be an expert on the issues that matter.
