Report: Malia Obama Tours Berkeley, Stanford
NBC Bay Area ^ | 6/25/14 | Chris Roberts

Posted on 06/25/2014 7:22:27 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The First Daughter is checking out colleges in the Bay Area.

Another Democratic president, another daughter educated in the Bay Area?

Malia Obama, the oldest daughter of President Barack Obama, is about to turn 16 and is looking at colleges -- and she's looking at the best the Bay has to offer, according to reports.

A "source" tells the San Francisco Chronicle that Malia toured the campus of the University of California Berkeley recently.

Malia is already West Coasting, working as a production assistant on a television show in Los Angeles.

Apparently, she also visited Stanford, the alma mater of Chelsea Clinton, another well-known first daughter.

Officials at both schools declined to comment, but Malia supposedly liked what she saw at Berkeley.

Stanford looks better and is farther away from Oakland.

Of course neither is as good if one wants to be a Constitutional Scholar as Hillsdale...........

Berkeley grades SUPER hard but is EXTREMELY active with affirmative action:

This means MANY minorities start out at UCB but cannot hack it and drop out —we hear of this pattern elsewhere but this path is very, very, very well-trod at Cal.

I suspect it will not hurt that she’s an Obama, but…I dunno —they really take pride in grading people hard, there, especially in engineering, etc.

I think blacks, etc, drop out of Berkeley at a rate of maybe 90% or something.

They have their mother’s charm, obviously.

She’s gotta be smarter than her mother.

West Coasting?

I guess I've been "west coasting" most of my life.

I knew that the people in DC had no respect for those in "fly over country", but it seems they have no respect for those of us on the Left Coast either!

I take it you’ve never seen that old cover of the New Yorker looking out from the Big Apple?

I knew that people in NY looked down on us. I've read my share of Joan Didion to know that even a woman as educated and literate as her was looked down on until she made the move to NY.

But DC? That's a fetid swamp filled with all manner of malicious creatures.

I’m sure she will be taking a burger flipping job to help pay for her indoctrination. I mean education.

And I’m sure she will struggle to find a job. Poor Chelsea only got 600,000 per year as a starter job. that’s barely enough to support her destitute parents.

Congrats to you and your daughter.

BTW, how is her TV production assistant gig going? Or was she not as "qualified" as Malia for such an internship?
