President and First Lady's daughter Malia to attend Harvard. Update!

Courtesy of the New York Times:  

Malia Obama, the older daughter of President Obama, plans to attend Harvard University beginning in the fall of 2017, the White House announced on Sunday, waiting until her father leaves office to begin her college career. 

Malia’s much-speculated-upon decision, announced in a news release after months of official silence from the White House about her college search process, will make her the latest in a long line of presidential children to attend the elite university in Cambridge, Mass. Both of her parents attended law school there. 

“The President and Mrs. Obama announced today that their daughter Malia will attend Harvard University in the fall of 2017 as a member of the Class of 2021. Malia will take a gap year before beginning school,” the White House said in a statement.

Sure, but can she get into hair and skin school?

Gee both a great President AND a great parent.

There are some people in the world who cannot even do one of those correctly.

The article also points out that Malia will be taking a "gap year" before starting school.

I myself took a gap year after high school, to raise money for college.

Then took another two year gap to raise more money for college.

And then took yet another still ongoing gap during which I got married, had a baby, got divorced, got remarried, got re-divorced, and completely forgot about college.

I assume that Malia will stay a little more focused.

Update: Apparently the racists have started weighing in:

Believe it or not I left off some of the worst ones, though you can see them for yourselves at the link.

Despite all of this nastiness directed at her I predict big things for this young lady.

President Obama says he will be too emotional to speak at daughter's graduation.

While lunching at the Jolly Pumpkin Brewery in Detroit today, Obama told his lunch companions that he turned down a request to speak at Malia’s graduation, saying he will be too emotional. 

“Malia's school asked if I wanted to speak at commencement and I said no,” the president said. “I'm going to be wearing dark glasses ... and I’m going to cry.”

You know after the last couple of days it's nice to hear how a REAL parent responds to their children.

And I am totally with the President on this, I get all damp around the eye sockets every time I even look at a picture of my daughter from when she was a little girl, or hear about how well she is doing today.

The President is a good man, and clearly an even better father. 

Well you just know this is going to piss off the conservatives.

Malia Obama’s already a first daughter — but she also just wants to be one of the “Girls.” 

President Obama’s elder daughter was spotted in Williamsburg on Thursday, casually sipping a soft drink while hanging out on the set of the raunchy Lena Dunham comedy. 

The 16-year-old — who turns 17 on Saturday — spent about three hours on location in Brooklyn as the HBO show filmed at the Aurora Ristorante, a hipster haven on Grand Street.

Well considering how much the conservatives hate Dunham, and  of course their all but overwhelming hatred for the President, I think we can rest assured that this is going to cause some Right Wing heads to explode.
