The Obama Girls' First Day of School!

Filed under: Barack Obama

obamagals.jpg

On Monday, flanked by Secret Service, Michelle Obama accompanied daughters Malia and Sasha to their first day of school at Chelsea Clinton's alma mater, Sidwell Friends.

The Obamas arrived in D.C. more than two weeks ahead of the inauguration so the girls could start classes alongside the other students, who returned from winter break today, Monday.

The soon-to-be first lady has previously said her children are her first priority and that she wanted their kids off on the right foot by having them start class with everyone else.

Michelle and the girls have been in D.C. since Saturday.

President-elect Obama arrived 'home' on Sunday night.

The Obamas are resting their hats at the fancy Hay-Adams hotel until they can move in to the White House.

That Bush blowhard won't let them move in early!

  3. 3

    Seriously, is this celebrity gossip!?



  4. 4

    first-
    AWWWWW!



  5. 5

    nothing wrong with the Bushes not letting them move in early - it's never been done before - I hardly think the Obamas are suffering at the Hay Adams……



  6. 6

    Thats nice.



  7. 7

    That blows that Bush wouldn't let the Obamas move in early, he's such a prick

    Why would he let them move in early? It's the WHITE HOUSE. Come on now, Perez, you know Bush is helpless. Could you imagine him without the staff?

    I hope the girls have an easy transition into their new school. It's so hard to switch schools in the middle of the year and have to make new friends. President Bush won't let them move into Blair House early because it's being used by foreign dignitaries. I'm sure if it were available he'd let them move in early. Calling President Bush a blowhard is unfair.



  11. 11

    THE OBAMAS ARE GOING TO BRING A LOT OF STYLE TO THE WHITE HOUSE. I'VE NEVER SEEM THEM LOOKING ANYTHING LESS THAN SHARP.



  12. 12

    Love them! I pray for their happiness and success!



  13. 13

    How cute are Obama's daughters? I wish them the best of luck at their new school and kudos to Michelle for being devoted to her family!



  14. 14

    Let them move in early? Perez are you retarded? what country were you raised in? you are really stupid. but none the less entertaining.



  15. 15

    Oh those kids just kill me. They're too adorable.



  16. 16

    good job on listing the hotel there staying at fucking idiot



  17. 17

    These two girls are so cute! I hope they like their new school. God bless them.



  18. 18

    Ummm, the Bush family still lives in the White House. George W. Bush is still the President. Why would they let them move in early? That would be unprecedented and a breach of protocol. The President-elect and his family will be able to move into Blair House on the 15th, which is tradition during a change of Administrations.



  19. 19

    Any why should they be allowed to move in early??? He is not president yet….



  20. 20

    Aw thats cute, yeah, good luck to Obama and his family. = ]

    BBBoricua darling,
    Hi, I've just seen your note for me on Jett Travolta post. I am still shocked, and because the Church of Scientology is so incredibly powerful in US, and has such influential members , there is a possible chance of cover-up.



  22. 22

    Are you really that fucking stupid fat body, to think that Bush would have the Obamas move in while he is technically still in office? you should put yourself down to put everyone else out of the misery of coming to your god awful site.



  23. 23

    Bush is a complete jerk all of you defending him should know better after 8 horrible years finally we have a smarter president who will bring great changes. My husbands father grew up in Maine next to the Bush family trust me he is a complete jerk and a very stupid man.



  24. 24

    Re: jimmyjazz – Don't you know it Jimmy! They are changing this world in all that they do! Even these little girls! They are inspiring and incredible role models! The Obama's will raise the intelligence level of this country. I know it! Our dropout rates will fall. America can take it back y'all! I've got hope!



  25. 25

    It's not that President Bush said no! They wanted to move in earlier than is the custom and there are already guest in the guest house. Obama has an apartment in DC! I'm sure its not anything to turn their nose up at!



  26. 26

    Wtf, people, calm down. They just went to school; they didn't find the cure to cancer.



  27. 27

    "Bush won't let them move in early." Perez, you are an ignorant but then again you say shit like that to press people's buttons. The Bush's are preparing to move out and in two weeks or so, the Obamas will move into one of the homes near the White House area were ALL President Elects have resided prior to officially moving in to the main house.



  28. 28

    Sidwell Friends? What kind of school name is that? Sounds like a rehab facility.



  29. 29

    Re: jazz86 – He might be stupid BUT not that stupid to become President. Then again, now you don't need brains to be President. PUPPETS DON'T HAVE BRAINS…Thus we are getting another Puppet…Obama. There's a process idiot, you can't move in early. No one's defending Bush.



  30. 30

    Re: orchidgirl – Weirdo



  31. 31

    There's a White House "guest house" of sorts that Laura Bush said they couldn't stay in. They asked if it was available to get the girls ready and settled into school. No one ever said they were going to the White House itself early.



  32. 32

    I wish the Obama's all the best. We've needed a change!



  33. 33

    Perez,

    If Bush is a blowhard, then you're braindead. The incoming President doesn't move into the Blair House until the week before the inauguration. This has been the protocol for decades. Judging by the comments, it seems that a number of your readers would prefer you to stay out of politics. Looks like you're making yourself a candidate for a pie in the face. I'll pay someone $10 to do it too! LMAO!



  34. 34

    perez your level of total ignorant stupidity is a festering infection on society. oh and by the way, your boy Obama does not support gay marriage!!! HA!!!



  35. 35

    Re: ShaylaRCakes – Yeah, but the guest house (Blair House) is already full. As pointed out by another poster, it's booked by foreign dignitaries. The Obamas will have access to Blair House, just like all other first families have, on January 15th. Calling Bush a blowhard because his Administration is following tradition and already booked out Blair House is just plain ignorant.

  36. AMO says – reply to this


    36

    Who cares?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? AND I agree w/ Jeanmarie.



  37. 37

    aside from perez being a total douche, and my fear Obama's weak ass will fail miserably I hope and pray for Obama's little girls safety and happiness always. I mean that sincerely.



  38. 38

    why should president bush allow the obamas to move in early just because barack obama is a celebrity?

    perez, you made a poor choice in alienating your audience.



  39. 39

    Hey quit posting pics of the girls. Let them live their life without adding to the paps harassing them. They are just kids. They should be off-limits. They are too young to have to put up with this nonsense.



  40. 40

    I think there are more important things in the world to discuss then the booooobama girls first day at PRIVATE not PUBLIC school.
    *
    *
    michellemybelle is looking more and more like a dark skinned skelator that hangs onto jlo.
    *
    somebody give gthe woman some food!!!!!!!!!!



  41. 41

    The hopes of a nation rest on the slender shoulders of this lovely family.
    Good luck and God speed President Obama.



  42. 42

    does anyone know if Chelsea Clinton is gay?



  43. 43

    Maybe the "blowhard" is savoring his last moments in his home. Obama doesn't officially take office until January 21st. Let our current President reside within the White House without critisism until then.



  44. 44

    How dare you say Bush is a blowhard that wouldn't let the Obama's in the White House early! I think they're ingrates for asking! Why should Bush let them in earlier? Who the hell are they? When the Clinton's left the White House for the Bush's they were also ingrates. Their staff removed the W's on the all the computers. If the Obama's don't like the idea they can't get in earlier, they should make sure that on their way out, the White House is available. Get a grip already.



  45. 45

    Barry's not the President yet dude, so he can't just move into the White House whenever he feels like it. I'm NOT a Bush fan, but making that his fault is just fucking ignorant. Yer killin' me lately Mario!



  46. 46

    Jimmyjazz….Well, cause that's what's so important when running a country…is um, STYLE-yeah style!! I feel so protected and ready to make a change now.



  47. 47

    I'm afraid some crazy is gonna kill those little girls jusst b/c of their daddy…



  48. 48

    Re: MeowMix67 – I believe you are right! Obama has sooo much hype around him, but NO experience or plan. We are all doomed!!!



  49. 49

    Uhm, why would they move in early? Are you THAT stupid Perez? Obama isn't going to move out early in 4 years because he wasn't re-elected. He's going to stay until the end. Do you think the active Pres of the US should be living out of a hotel while the new guy is in the White House? You're so moronic.



  50. 50

    Can I have a full report when one of the Obama girls starts their period?? I really need to know these kinds of things!!



  51. 51

    Re: doveydo – dumass, read this thread, the Obama's didn't ask to move into the White house they asked if Blair house was available a week early so their kids could get settled in school. Nothing ingragte about that, stupid republican.



  52. 52

    All of you conservative assholes can chill. The Obama family is close and secure and I am pretty sure that years from now when their dog dies it won't make national news…….like India the White House cat…God rest her soul



  53. 53

    Wait. Hold the phone. They went to school with normal people? BLESS THEIR SOULS!



  54. 54

    Secret Service is CUTE too!



  55. 55

    why the hell should they move in early? they aren't above anyone else and thats just not the way things are done. sick



  56. 56

    awww I love those kids and the Obama family. True Americans.



  57. 57

    Sidwell Friends is an exclusive private school where rich left wing Democrats send their kids, so they don't have to attend the filthy crime ridden public schools in DC….(the same public schools those left wing Democrats tell your kids they must attend because they're so wonderful)



  58. 58

    You know what would be fun in 2009? If you blogged on all the bullshit that's gone on behind the scenes within the Bush admin/whitehouse over the last 8 years. That always makes for excellent dirt!!!



  59. 59

    I guess this is "the second time" she is proud of her country….What an ugly, angry woman.-She is already dislike by America and her husband is not the president yet.- Ugly (orangutan style)



  60. 60

    Why are you putting these pictures up? Nobody needs to see this. Its sick that these little girls have fucking photographers chasing them on their first day of school. Nobody needs to see this. Please don't post anymore pictures of the Obama girls. Please show a little class… oh wait, maybe you don't have any,



  61. 61

    good luck girls!! :)



  62. 62

    Uhhh, come on they can't pay for a hotel for two weeks? Maybe they should have cut that Hawaii vacation a little short.

    Move in early + mother in law moving = mooching hardcore.



  63. 63

    Re: Skeptic – haha awesome reply



  64. 64

    I understand everyone's point of view but have a few things to say/ask:
    Why was Obama elected?
    Everyone says it is because he promises change.
    1) Every president promises change from the last.
    2) Obama has appointed the majority of his cabinet from the Clinton Administration.
    3) Has anyone in America heard his plans of HOW he's going to change it, or is he miraculously going to enter the white house and everything will be changed?
    4) Does anyone realize how long it takes something to be changed in America? A LONG TIME.
    5) Is it just me or are more left wing liberals making a big deal out of him being african american than FAR right wing conservatives? He's black, big freaking deal. Get over it. I don't care if he's chinese as long as he knows how to run the country.
    In all honesty, I hope Obama can change things. I think it is very very hard to make changes that he promised, but hope that he is a good president. I am proud of America for wanting change, I just hope it is the right change.

    Re: mocus1

    Yes, sending presidential kids to a public school is a smart move. I can hear RANSOM from miles away.



  66. 66

    uh.
    who gives.
    theyre also making headlines for their dog passing.
    sad but…
    does america REALLY need to know about all this.
    f'ing stupid.



  67. 67

    who cares about the obamas it would have better with the Clinton since now he won he is copying them and for u idiots….its not bushes to tell them to move in it is a rule hello catch up with ur stuff.



  68. 68

    I love these little girls, but where is there doggie at? I think they deserve two of them so the other one won't be lonely. When the election was still one, I said I was for McCain, but the only reason I said that..was becoz everyone always does the OPPOSITE THAT I SAY…I TRICKED YOU FUKERS AND YOU FELL FOR IT. HEHHEEHEH,
    I LOVE IT. I love using psychology on you fukin idiots..that stupid LULU bought drove me fukin nuts with her comments to me. I was ready to twist off her fukin nipples. Obama roks. He's already done more than G



  69. 69

    i think his family is beautiful i hope the girls have an easy transition



  70. 70

    Where did Manchelle get $60.000. a year to run her chillins' through that Sidwell for a year? Damn 'Rats won't even let po' folk have vouchures! Oh, I forgot. She wants the First Lady to be a paid position. Heard she wants $300,000. a year. Hell, thats more than BO will make!



  71. 71

    Bush won't let them move into the guest house because someone is already staying there. Also traditionally the President Elect doesn't move into the White House or the White House grounds until January 15.



  72. 72

    Why should Bush let them move in when, like it or not world, he's still president??!



  73. 73

    Perez you are a complete moron!! Why should PRESIDENT Bush go completely against protocol to let an incumbent President move into the White House early?? It has never been done before! And Obama shouldnt get any special priviledges! Its funny that you cant show our CURRENT President one ounce of respect, yet you expect everyone to bow down and worship Obama before he's even proven himself! Stick to celebrity gossip Perez.



  74. 74

    :) Aww those girls are BEAUTIFUL! I wonder how long it'll take for them to become angry entitled snobs?



  75. 75

    those bourgeois monkeys really think they're something special! They make me sick!



  76. 76

    I notice he isn't too interested in that DIVERSITY (they) always seem to want? HYPOCRITE??



  77. 77

    First, he IS NOT the president yet. And he needs to STOP with the STUPID "The Office of the President Elect" signs …….there is NO SUCH THING!!! He can wait just like all the rest has done. Second, I don't see any change, unless he is changing into Bill Clinton. Seems like he can't appoint ANYONE that was not connected to ol' Bill in some way. No new people, just the same ol' crap. Third, most president elects wait UNTIL they take office to start back peddeling on their promises. He has ALREADY started (tax cuts / increases, end the war, etc). He was full of shit, and now we all know it. The only good thing I can find in all of this is that he is sounding more REPUBLICAN every day!!!! I guess THAT is the CHANGE he was talking about!!! LOL!!!!!



  78. 78

    I'm no better then you, but I DO feel this is celebrity gossip and that is gonna fuck up his whole message or shall I say agenda. I don't want to see these people as Brad and Angie



  79. 79

    Re: PunkyBrewstein

    He's the fuckin' president you dumb ass piece of shit! You better not be an American with that kind of dumb shit



  80. 80

    Perez, you are an idiot. But, it just shows that in America, anyone can make it. You are truly stupid.



  81. 81

    Who cares????



  82. 82

    I see Sasha's real father had to accompany her to her first day of school. He has a wire in his ear to pose as an SS agent.



  83. 83

    I hope Michelle didn't scare all the other children with that face. Ouch, she is one ugly mama…



  84. 84

    Hello, Sidwell is the best private school in DC. Harder to get into than harvard.



  85. 85

    Like your man keeps saying, "there is only one president at a time". And where does the president live, the White House. So why would Bush let him move in when he is not president yet. Gosh, Bush just can't do anything right in the lefties eyes…



  86. 86

    big fucking deal!!! it was my sisters first day of school too the other day- she was back from her two week winter break and shes a senior in high school.. wooooo!! just as exciting really..



  87. 87

    Would you let someone move in early into your house? HELL NO!! Big Fucking Deal!



  88. 88

    Oh Jesus, it's JUST his kids starting school! Is there going to be a news flash the next time he takes a crap?! Seriously!



  89. 89

    Why aren't these girls in PUBLIC school? For someone that wants to make a CHANGE so badly, how about standing up for the AMERICAN education system. If it is good enough for my kids, I know it is good enough for these two as well. I mean, are you KIDDING me - almost $30,000 EACH? Puhleeeeze! Glad the economy is treating them so well. Or is it our tax dollars paying for THAT too..



  90. 90

    You are an idiot Perez. Bush is still the President. This is a normal transistion for a President Elect. Get over it.



  91. 91

    Awww, cute! Can't wait for Jan. 20th!!! :)



  92. 92

    Wow! Kids going to school! That is an amazing post Perez! This website gets shittier and shittier….
