White House Is Swinging Now

And the Obama girls are loving it.

First daughters Malia and Sasha Obama got a big surprise after school Wednesday: a brand-new swing set.

They squealed with delight upon seeing it, a spokeswoman for the first lady said.

President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, went to work while the girls were at school, having the set installed on the south grounds of the White House within sight of the Oval Office, where their father spends plenty of time.

    You’re probably right. We can always remind them of the many taxpayer dimes used by the Bush twins on their booty-bumping drinkathons.

    I had the same first thought myself. Hope I didn’t pay for this.

    Hopefully, before flaming, trolls might actually make the effort to read a little bit into the article (and to actually understand what they read) so they get to the part that says “The Obamas paid for the swing set”.

    I had no doubt. How cool is that, though? You’re working at Home Depot or wherever, and you get a call to install a swing set at 1600 Penn. Ave.

    Jaim: Daughters in the White House who don’t embarrass our country. Nice.

    False comparison. Children under 11 are quite different creatures from children in their teens or in college.
