The First Kids of U.S. presidents dictate fashion trends, jet set around the world meeting dignitaries, and sometimes host senior prom in the White House East Room. You know, normal kid stuff.
But when dad's term is up and the First Family departs 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., the spotlight typically turns away from them.
To celebrate the Fourth of July — which happens to be Malia Obama's birthday — we checked out what the First Children are up to these days.

Caroline Kennedy serves as the U.S. ambassador to Japan.
Last fall, Caroline Kennedy landed a role perfectly suited to her lifetime of training in diplomacy — as the U.S. ambassador to Japan. But she stirred a Twitter controversy when she publicly condemned the annual dolphin hunt, a Japanese tradition.
The former attorney, 56, also serves as president of the JFK Presidential Library and has written nine New York Times best-selling books on constitutional law, American history, and poetry.

Chelsea Clinton is a special correspondent for NBC.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Chelsea Clinton, who serves as a special correspondent for NBC and a driving force behind her parents' philanthropy, the Clinton Global Initiative. Currently the daughter of one president, she may soon find herself the daughter of two, if her mother runs and wins in 2016.
Clinton, 34, and husband Marc Mezvinsky are expecting their first child later this year who, if luck would have it, could make a name for him- or herself in politics as well.

This paragraph deserves its own special "barf alert".
Chelsea and Jenna...
There’s something about NBC that makes First Kids attractive employees.... can anybody tell us what it is?
We are now the Philippines.
“Clinton Global Initiative”
Ha! Adventures in mendacity and self-aggrandizement!
Are ANY of these people capable of REAL work?
Very interesting, thanks. While all of them were advantaged, most of them have managed to create productive lives and kept a low profile. Ironically, Reagan’s adopted son turned out much better than the last two biological children.
Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Jr., was born in 1924, and Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in 1928. Harrison Tyler maintains the family home, "Sherwood Forest"."

Chelsea seems to be in hiding on NBC and is the opposite in all the above listed categories.
It must be killing NBC that the Clinton daughter is deadly on camera while the camera loves the Bush daughter.
I haven’t seen the Obama brats lately. And didn’t Zero and Mooche spend Father’s Day weekend in Palm Springs without the kids?
Yeah - The Japanese can't decipher her mumbling speech any better than we can.
I can promise you that those kids are NOT sweltering in DC....I am positive they are VACATIONING ON OUR DIME SOMEWHERE!!!!
But do they work for NBC?
Malaria is working in California this summer for a Hollyweird film producer.
Not sure what Sharia is up to.
From the article:
Sasha Obama just turned 13.
Daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama
“Newly teenaged Sasha Obama is an adorable middle-schooler at the private Sidwell Friends School in D.C. who, like most other kids her age, gets visits from dad from time to time... only in this case, her dad is the president.
The president’s younger daughter has inherited her mom’s fashion sense and, because she’ll still be living under her parents’ roof when the Obamas leave the White House, may have the good luck of choosing where they all get to live in 2016.”
“THE PRESIDENT’S YOUNGER DAUGHTER HAS INHERITED HER MOM’S FASHION SENSE...”
What an incredible blessing.

Sasha is hardly adorable.
The Ford and Nixon children turned out well.
The Tyler’s are about my favorite little tidbit of US history. Theoretically, their grandfather may have me George Washington as a child.
If she’s the one who evidently inherited the Mooch’s angry scowl and seems to be wearing it as she would a fashion accessory in just about every pic I’ve seen, no that’s not adorable.
Maybe they'll tell us about First Family fights and private matters. That's all most people care about
This article is infantile and unnecessary.
