Bush Twins Pen 'Open Letter' to Obama Girls
George W. Bush's daughters, Jenna and Barbara, have written an open letter to Malia and Sasha Obama in which they give America's two newest sweethearts 'advice' on living in the grand ol' White House.
Instead of sending the letter directly to the little Obama ladies, the Bushies had it published in the Wall Street Journal.
Yeah, because a 7 and 10-year old regularly read the WSJ!
Lame.
They do have some fairly good, obviously cooked up by some flack, advice for Barack's little ones.
We love that they mention Barney the biting dog!
Here it is in its full glory:
"Sasha and Malia, we were seven when our beloved grandfather was sworn in as the 41st President of the United States. We stood proudly on the platform, our tiny hands icicles, as we lived history. We listened intently to the words spoken on Inauguration Day service, duty, honor. But being seven, we didn't quite understand the gravity of the position our Grandfather was committing to. We watched as the bands marched by — the red, white, and blue streamers welcoming us to a new role: the family members of a President.
We also first saw the White House through the innocent, optimistic eyes of children. We stood on the North Lawn gazing with wonder at her grand portico. The White House was alive with devoted and loving people, many of whom had worked in her halls for decades. Three of the White House ushers, Buddy, Ramsey, and "Smiley", greeted us when we stepped into her intimidating hallway. Their laughter and embraces made us feel welcome right away. Sasha and Malia, here is some advice to you from two sisters who have stood where you will stand and who have lived where you will live:
– Surround yourself with loyal friends. They'll protect and calm you and join in on some of the fun, and appreciate the history.
– If you're traveling with your parents over Halloween, don't let it stop you from doing what you would normally do. Dress up in some imaginative, elaborate costume (if you are like us a pack of Juicy Fruit and a Vampiress) and trick-or-treat down the plane aisle.
– If you ever need a hug, go find Ramsey. If you want to talk football, look for Buddy. And, if you just need a smile, look for "Smiley."
– And, a note on White House puppies–our sweet puppy Spot was nursed on the lawn of the White House. And then of course, there's Barney, who most recently bit a reporter. Cherish your animals because sometimes you'll need the quiet comfort that only animals can provide.
– Slide down the banister of the solarium, go to T-ball games, have swimming parties, and play Sardines on the White House lawn. Have fun and enjoy your childhood in such a magical place to live and play.
– When your dad throws out the first pitch for the Yankees, go to the game.
– In fact, go to anything and everything you possibly can: the Kennedy Center for theater, State Dinners, Christmas parties (the White House staff party is our favorite!), museum openings, arrival ceremonies, and walks around the monuments. Just go. Four years goes by so fast, so absorb it all, enjoy it all!
For four years, we spent our childhood holidays and vacations in the historic house. We could almost feel the presence of all the great men and women who had lived here before us. When we played house, we sat behind the East sitting room's massive curtains as the light poured in illuminating her yellow walls. Our seven-year-old imaginations soared as we played in the enormous, beautiful rooms; our dreams, our games, as romantic as her surroundings. At night, the house sang us quiet songs through the chimneys as we fell asleep."

"In late December, when snow blanketed the front lawn, all of our cousins overtook the White House. Thirteen children between the ages of two and 12 ran throughout her halls, energized by the crispness in the air and the spirit of the season. Every room smelled of pine; the entire house was adorned with thistle; garlands wound around every banister. We sat on her grand staircase and spied on the holiday dancing below. Hours were spent playing hide-and-go-seek. We used a stage in the grand ballroom to produce a play about Santa and his reindeer. We watched as the National Christmas Tree was lit and admired the chef as he put the final icing on the gingerbread house.
When it was time, we left the White House. We said our goodbyes to her and to Washington. We weren't sure if we would spend time among her historical walls again, or ever walk the National Mall, admiring the cherry blossoms that resembled puffs of cotton candy. But we did return. This time we were 18. The White House welcomed us back and there is no doubt that it is a magical place at any age."

Re: The Dark Knight – They covered that earlier in the letter…
"Three of the White House ushers, Buddy, Ramsey, and "Smiley", greeted us when we stepped into her intimidating hallway."
Saw the Obama girls in Chicago once and they seemed kind of bratty. No one corrected them either, they just acted spoiled. Of course kids will be kids. Th Bush girls seemed to be wild things, but no worse than what the average teenager has done.
Re: Jenisis – Where the hell did I say this man couldn't do what needs to be done because of color. WHERE did I say that? I'm just frustrated with bi-racial people claiming only one race - usually the black one, and not acknowledging the white race in them. Like they are disgusted to have a "drop" of white in them. It's hypocritical. You call me a racist, but isn't it just the same when bi-racial people deny their white race?
do they really think they'll read it in WSJ? fuckin aye.
perez, can you ever just post something and not have to criticize someone just because YOU don't like them? I think that was a good thing the Bush girls did, and you have to skew it to make it seem like a bad thing.
They're just mad because the news keeps making a big deal about there being small children in the White House. There haven't been very young children since the Kennedys. All this says to me is, "Look at us! We were small children when our Grandpa was President! Wah wah we need attention!"
Re: jennypoooo – Fuck you. No matter what those girls would have done all you assholes would have found something wrong with it. They wrote a damn letter. If they didn't publish it you would bitch about that. If they DIDN'T write a letter, you would bitch about that. I'm surprised no one has bitched that they wrote the letter "together" instead of individual letters, adressed to each of those Osama (ooops Obama) brats individually. No matter what any Bush does, you faccia di stronzos will have something to fucking bitch about.
that is so cute!
I thought that was sweet. Not lame at all.
aw how nice of them…seems like a fun place to live! lucky girls!
Re: Italian Princess – Wow…interesting sexual fantasy. Maybe you should contact the hooker in your neighbourhood, I'm sure they'd oblige your fettish. You sick ****.
Re: cherry.girl23 – How in the hell do you get a sexual fantasy out of telling someone to kiss their own ass? Explain…..
The Obama girls are 7 and 10. Do they even know what some of those words mean? While it was a sweet letter, it gave off a phoney vibe. I just feel like they were doing it more to make themselves look good, rather than giving genuine advice. Why else would they have had it printed in the Wall Street Journal?
sooo cute
really, that's cute
HOPEFULLY THE BUSH WHORES DIDN'T GIVE THE OBAMA GIRLS ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO GET A FAKE ID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TEE HEE!!! I HOLLER! HOLLER AT YOUR BITCH!!

I'M BACK MOTHERFUCKERS!!!! JJ IN THE HOUSE!!

ALL MY HO HO'S IN THE HOUSE PUT YOUR HANDS UP!!
it was enchanting… im sorry but i think this shows that Bush and Laura are good people because they raised amazing daughters.
Maybe his politics sucked but I think the media made it worse than it really was and I think you should admire him for his work and now we are in a new place with a new president and we should admire him too!

Interesting news, by the way, you can check more interesting article on the forum of ………celebmingle com……….A website where wealthy people &celebrities will interested in.
Jeez… such hatred. Clearly, the Bush twins sent their original letter to the Obama girls directly. It must have been the same person who decided to publish Daddy Obama's letter to his daughters in Parade who decided to publish this letter in the WSJ. The news already reported that the Bush twins took the little girls on a tour of their bedrooms (which will now be Malia and Sasha's ) when the Obama's visited after he won. They talked about their time visiting the White House during Bush 41's presidency because they were little girls at that time and the Obama girls would be able to relate better.
Stop making a lovely gesture into something mean spirited. You haters are just getting boring!
that was adorable, informative and actually very sweet. i m impressed.
STFU Perez!
Anytime anyone does something nice you gag… you piss me off no end - but you're the lesser of two evils if compared with TMZ
Re: Jenisis – well, then we are ALL blacks? I mean if the first people on EARTH were blacks…then we may ALL have a drop of N-word blood….and I don't think it should be measured that way…you are what you feel you are….If bi-racial you want to be black be black you want to be white be wuite if you want to specify you are Bi-recial…than check the "other" box!
This is a really thoughtful letter the Bush twins wrote for the Obama girls. Stop taking your hate for their dad out on them because they have both become incredible young women. I just don't understand in the first place how people can have so much "hate" towards a single man just because he differs on their politics. It's really sad, actually.
Re: Italian Princess – Osama brats? Are you a racist? Yes I think you are. Ithink it's hilarious when the best you can do is result to whining and "Fuck yous" and petty insults. Keep it up. It's very entertaining. Oh, the Obama girls MUST be brats because they are black kids with well-off parents, right? Meanwhile the Bush daughters have publicly embarrassed themselves and exhibited diva-like behavior but they are just so sweet and good. Really. Truly, the Bush family should be the moral compass for all Americans. If they didn't write a letter, I wouldn't have cared. I wouldn't have given a thought. I am just glad to see that administration over.
Re: linnyM – I hope you are right.
First of all those little girls should not be sliding down any banisters and furthermore, one of those twins told a Texas magazine a few years back that the White House was haunted and that the music coming out of the fireplace was haunting.
Re: VGirl – Just like I told the Italian dude, don't blame us, blame the slave masters for that stupid, antiquated rule…they made it up. Look up the one-drop rule, and see for yourself.
Once again, so much incredibly hateful commentary on here. Calling the Bush twins "Whores" and "B*tches"?? It's just scary how much hate goes into these posts.
u people are so ignorant. the bush twins DID give it to the obama girls before it was published. It was left for them at the white house. maybe y'all should try watching actual News programs rather than getting political info from "the queen of all media"
Perez - Some Things are Just Sweet - This is One of Them!!
Get over Yourself!!
Perez! Why did you say your post is in all its glory when you failed to mention what they wrote about their dad? (I am not a Bush fan, but seriously?
"Although it's an honor and full of so many extraordinary opportunities, it isn't always easy being a member of the club you are about to join," they said. "Our dad, like yours, is a man of great integrity and love; a man who always put us first. We still see him now as we did when we were 7: as our loving daddy."
"He is our father, not the sketch in a paper or part of a skit on TV," they wrote. "Many people will think they know him, but they have no idea how he felt the day you were born, the pride he felt on your first day of school, or how much you both love being his daughters. So here is our most important piece of advice: Remember who your dad really is.
great, well written letter.
Why is the fact that this was published looked at in a negative way? Didn't Obama do the same exact thing like a week ago?? This is the issue here..People act like Obama is the second coming of Christ and perfect in every way..It's frightening..
very very eloquently put..someone obviously wrote it for them! LOL
Obama's letter to his daughters released to the public, now these two write a letter published in the WSJ…does anything remain private anymore? I bet the Bush family left that Barney the Biter hidden in the White House somewhere and he will spring out at the Obamas as a final parting gift from W and clan!
I CAUGHT U PEREZ!!!!
"AFTER THE JUMP"??????
THAT'S COPIED STRAIGHT OUT OF EVIL BEET!!!!
U DIRTY MANWHORE!
It's a very nice letter,but do the Bush girls not know that the Obama girls are only 7 & 10. I agree with Perez, if this letter was truly meant for Malia and Sasha,it would have been sent to the white house not published in a newspaper that i'm pretty sure 7 and 10 yr olds don't read.
Re: Italian Princess – Bi-racial people do not deny the white in them.It's hard to say that you're white when society looks at you and automatically says you're black.It does not mean that we deny or white family, they are family just as the black side is family.So you see we really don't have a choice in that matter.It is what it is.
