The only difference was when they went through a "Daaaaddd plllease" moment the world got to see it, and I do agree that's not good.
Nonetheless, those girls don't seem like the type of girls who are willing to stand in front of cameras unless they darn well feel like it.
********
The Obama girls fortunately don't get paraded about for their parent's benefit, so they don't try to fake it.
They did just fine given that they looked like the last thing they wanted to do was watch their Dad pardon a turkey!
It's natural, really, to be that age and not want to be ogled by the world.
Kate's kids will never get that kind of understanding.
Watching Kate scold her kids is downright uncomfortable.
The funny thing is, Kate plays it for all it's worth, thinking she's showing the world what an amazing mother she is.
I lost my dad Saturday, step -dad to be technical
But my dad in my heart, and again, I just want to thank everyone on this veranda, reading your posts get me through my day
thank you again,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your narc mom isn't making things easier.
Please check back in and let us know how you're doing.
Franky (#199), blessings to you and your daughter. So sorry to
hear about your loss.
Franky - So sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with both you and your daughter.
franky -- SO sorry to hear about your dad. I'll keep you and your daughter in my prayers. Your mother, too.
I think the Obamas have done a remarkably good job of keeping their daughters out of the lime light, and I'm sure it hasn't been easy. And even though he's the POTUS, Pres. Obama still manages to make it to at least some of the girls' sporting events without a lot of fanfare. At one time, maybe still is, he was helping to coach one daughter's basketball team.
Franky- Vey sorry to hear about you loss.
I didn't mean to start anything, but it just reminded me of what we saw on the Today Show. Uncomfortable, embarrassed teenage girls. POTUS was much kinder and joking to his than TFW was to hers.
franky, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Obama pardoning 2 turkeys with his daughters there is JUST like TFW forcing the twins to be on the Today show? Really?
For a blog that does not want political talk,it sure lets Obama bashing into it's blog a lot.

Political talk and bashing Obama? Here? A lot? Recently? When was this? I'm not so sure I would have called the Obama girls mortified, but rather indifferent. Mortified to me means severe shame. I thought they just looked bored, like they would rather be somewhere else!

Yeah, I didn't get that either. I know we joke about hitting the rumspringa and bloody marys, and thought maybe I was two sheets to the wind when all of this Obama bashing took place. I'll blame it on Auntie Ann and her keg.

It is great. I remember a magazine spread (Life?) about what Amy Carter has for breakfast in the White House. Even as a kid, I wondered who needs to know this?
The Clinton, the Bushes and the Obamas have done a great job protecting their children's privacy.
I know a couple of people that work at Temple. Word us BC is so ingrained in Temple and done so much to support the school and given so much financially it's going to be almost impossible to totally cut ties with him. It's akin to Penn State and JoePa. The school with never be able to be fully "rid" if him.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I just read an article about Massachusetts cutting ties with him even though he and his wife have contributed hundreds of millions to the school. That's quite a chunk of money. If he gave that much in contributions to that school and it decided to drop him, I wonder how much he's given to Temple that presently they're not sure what to do with him.
I watched the clip and don't see anything "not good" about their behavior. Malia was smiling and laughing when she said "nah" to petting the turkey. This is much ado about absolutely nothing.
&&&&
I must have missed the "much ado." What I saw was two teenage girls who don't think their dad is funny, which is normal, and the media pointed it out. It was sort of like a "stars, they're just like us" moment that appealed to people. It was just an observation by the media, which they have every right to do when you put your kids on T.V. I thought most media were sort of laughing "with" the Obamas, not at them. Nothing I saw was over the top.
What I thought was "not good" was not their behavior, but the fact that a typical teen moment was made public. That's too bad and I can imagine that is very embarrassing for them, and therefore I stand by my "not good" statement.
That said, I think overall the Obamas have done an excellent job protecting their girls. I know nothing about them, which is the way it should be. I agree, their privacy was protected, and if the only thing the media can say is look at how they don't think their dad is a scream, then that's not too shabby.
I was thinking the BC and Temple thing is very similar to what Penn State went through. BC really was one of the major faces of that school, and although it's not impossible to cut ties with him it will be difficult.
franky, I am so sorry for your loss and for your daughter.
When I got on the blog earlier today, there was a banner ad that showed a picture of a cappuccino and it said, Steve's cappuccino.
It was an ad for the cappuccino version of a Kerig.
I can't imagine it's embarrassing for them as they didn't nothing about which to be embarrassed.
&&&
You're missing the point. It's not what THEY did. They did nothing more than act like normal teens.
It is the media calling them out that is the problem. Any psychologist can explain that teens at this age just want to be one of the group, the crowd. They don't want to be singled out or talked about like that. To be "called out" even in a manner that is not meant to be cruel, is mortifying to any but a tiny minority of teens. It's just how they are wired, and it is normal. I cannot imagine these girls are not mortified to have hte media discussing their lack of enthusiasm. They likely don't want to be discussed at all, and they also likely thought, rightly so, that no one would be talking about them given their job was to just stand there. They innocently went to this event, acted like any teen girl would act around her dad, and the media pointed it out. It's mortifying any which way you slice it.
You can tell a teen all you want they have nothing to be embarrassed about, or think to yourself this wouldn't embarrass ME (of course it doesn't, we have adult brains that are done developing) it doesn't change the fact that at this age it is a virtual certainty that they can and will be embarrassed over something like this.
"Adolescents are very easy to embarrass because this is the age of in-between when one is no longer a child but not yet an adult, and can be criticized on both fronts for either presuming to act too old or for not acting old enough. Sometimes it feels like one can’t win for losing as the young person stumbles their way to young adulthood through the trial and error process of growing up. Along the way there is much to learn, to mistake, to correct, to recover from, and to adjust to."
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/surviving-your-childs-adolescence/201310/why-so-sensitive-adolescence-and-embarrassment
If you don't believe me about how I believe these girls are probably (probably, I don't know for SURE either for goodness sake) embarrassed about this, perhaps you will listen to their mother, who indicated they can get very embarrassed about all this fanfare, including the motorcade and their own movie theater:
When asked by host Gayle King whether the children ever get embarrassed by their parents, Michelle Obama, 47, said that, apart from finding their mother's singing and dancing cringe-inducing, Malia and Sasha, 8, especially don't like their parents visiting their school.
'They don't really want us to come to school,' she said on a tour of the White House's private East Wing. 'Because - especially the President - because when he comes for a parent-teacher conference, it's a motorcade.'....The kids don't like to use the sumptuous red velvet White House movie theatre, instead option to head to public cinemas.

Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook
Obama himself has also talked about he is careful not to embarrass the girls when he meets their friends, implying that he does indeed or could easily embarrass them. If they never got embarrassed by things easily why is he remarking about how careful he is around them, he almost sounds like he has to tip toe around them! (normal)
If just the motorcade embarrasses them or their dad meeting a friend, I can't imagine why the media doing a story about Obama teen angst wouldn't too. My opinion is they are probably embarrassed, based on the teen brain and other indications they have been easily embarrassed in the past. Your opinion is they were probably not, based on they have no reason to be I guess. I disagree. So what? Move on.

@Kateplusmy8. Ur mentioning laundry got me going 2catch up. #SixSingleSocks came out of dryer! Where's the other 6?
Ms. Kravitz tweeted a picture of socks. Men's socks, I think. Of course, given that we don't know if Milo is a male, female, or an "it," it's anyone's guess if they belong to her or to LOM.
Not sure where my comments went...pretty sure I do not give a dumb cluck. please think of my dad tomorrow, we ask only for whispers on the wings, or whatever
franky
My condolences to you, franky.
Bless your heart, franky. Thinking of you, your dad and family, now and tomorrow.
Sorry, Franky.
Franky, sincere sympathy for you and your dd.
Franky, my thoughts are with you. People on this blog are pretty special. When I posted my story about my marriage ending, I think it was Dmasy who wrote me something special. I printed it out and will read it every now and then when I need a little boost to get me through the day.
I sincerely thank you all for your thoughts. Will be hoisting a virtual rumspringa to you all tomorrow ( and will be escaping to this wonderful veranda when I can). We sincerely thank you all for your kind thoughts
franky
PS. You guys ROCK !!!
dangnabbit. I was planning on wearing a white shirt tomorrow at the funeral, even my brother gets the white reference, but he said maybe not a good idea. Should I stick to my everyday basic black, or compromise my bhuddist feelings and wear a white top. I never wear white, which is the total of all colours. sheesh. I do not know what to do thoughts?
franky
last post came out wrong. should I compromise my bhuddist feelings by NOT wearing white, since white is the sum total of all colours, even my military bro gets that, I did train him well, LOL
I thought I was compromising by wearing black pants. Maybe I should just wear all black
thoughts?
franky
whatever I do, I am sooooo booking a Cuban vacation ASAP
franky
So very sorry for your loss franky:(
At my daughter's funeral, most of the 500 people wore dark clothing, but a few teens and teachers wore bright colors, because that is how my daughter liked to dress, and live in, in all kinds of colors. And the outfit she wore were here favorite jeans and a nice lacey top.
Do what feels best for you franky. This is a day that you and your daughter will share, for saying goodbye to him. Just honor him:)
Tucker , you nailed it. Mum had grocery shop for her today, since the funeral is tomorrow. So, being the obedient child I did, but kept her on the phone on speaker all the way. See, my uncle is coming up, thus I /she bought salmon steaks for the occasion. Really? salmon steaks? but, lest we all forget, she lost someone important
we grew up on organ meat, hearts and lungs, lol
guess she needed those 300 dollar dresses
franky
franky, just do whatever feels right for you.
Your father will understand, and he's the only one who matter's.
When my dad died in September each of us wore something blue as it was his favorite (really only) color. Wear what makes you good and honors your dad. Sorry for your loss Franky. Blessings of comfort and warm memories to both of you.
franky, we celebrate life. Funerals no longer dictate that we wear black. Celebrate his life in whatever colour you want. No one will care.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
PJ
Frankie - I would go with the white shirt since white is the color of mourning in Buddhism. If others at the service don't like it too bad for them. Stay true to yourself as I'm sure that's what your father would want.
g-d I love you guys!
thank you so much
franky
ps, I will not submit my dd to 6 hrs of sheer torture and then a ceremony. we will arrive around 5, because 2 hours are bearable, and she will have friends there too. And I will wear what I damned well please. Thank you all again XOXO

"Just to recap anyone else who is as completely baffled how a political communications director could commit such an offensive “social networking faux pas”: The Obama girls showed up for an completely boring and useless press event, endure the silly parental embarrassment most of us only have to endure over the family dinner table, and they wore outfits. That are apparently scandalous."
Franky- thinking of you today as you go through this difficult time. Wear what you feel honors your father and what you feel connects you to him.
It's that connectedness that matters most.

thank you all for your input. My dad mybe only wore blue ,unless it was an important meeting, then he broke out the white.

I think that's the point a lot of us were making. The girls were just being teens, except because it was done in public people jumped on it. And that's the danger of allowing children to be put on display, even if they're just standing there.
For that matter the Gosselin twins not cooperating for the Today show was not scandalous either. They just sat there and were mostly quiet. But the media jumped on it, drawing conclusions about what was going on with them (i.e. they are over being on TV and don't want to cooperate with Kate anymore) just like people have drawn conclusions about the O girls (i.e. their father embarrasses them). The only way to completely protect children from the media is simply to never put them on TV in the first place. If you do choose to take the risk and go on TV anyway, you take that chance that somebody or somebodys in the media will make hurtful remarks about you or embarrass you or call you out.
Hi, Franky...my condolences to you and your daughter. Sounds as though the apparel has been sorted out, through the advice of the smart posters here. I agree with them all. And yes, your daughter doesn't need to endure several hours there; so good she's bringing a friend.
thank you all for your input. My dad mybe only wore blue ,unless it was an important meeting, then he broke out the white.
I guess this is a pretty important event....white it is. :-)
The Obama girls acted like any teens- they are not the ones who were elected so it's unfair to judge them. Their outfits and eye rolling etc were typical teen stuff. It must be very hard on them to be the President's daughters and maintain normalcy to any degree, especially in light of his popularity falling. I vaguely remember Amy Carter being scrutinized a lot- once she read at the dinner table during a formal event- that made the news.

When I saw the clip of the Obama girls I thought, "oh no", when I saw the really short dress the younger one was wearing.
Not that it's scandalous, but it wasn't a good choice because it was just too short, and I knew she'd get negative comments about it on social media.
It's just an awkward period of growing up where most if us (especially me) made inelegant sartorial choices.
None of these kids did anything. The Gosselin kids the Obama kids HBB. They're just being kids. People have called Mady awful names. It is the responsibility of the parents to shelter them from this by not exposing them to the media in the first place.

When the Gosselins first came upon my, many years ago, I Googled them to see if they were from PA/Philly (excuse me if you've read this before!) and was actually delighted that they were from the Reading area.
At the same time, Kate was already coming under scrutiny for grifting freebies, getting product placements and generally being a harridan.
I didn't "get it" at the time, and still watched for a while.
I was shocked to see what people were writing about Mady. She was a temperamental 6-year old and there were so many "Mady Gosselin + bitch" search results that it blew my mind.

I'm so sorry for that mess that I linked above! Hope this one works.
Wasn't Jenna Bush 22 at the time? Kind of old for those types of antics and as an adult she could have just said no to the whole campaign trail thing. One can be a rebel at 22 but as a teen you just have to stand there and listen to your dad's lame jokes and roll your eyes (especially when you're in the public spotlight). One of the most used phrases by parents is probably "don't you roll your eyes at me!". I think that the Obama's have done a good job with keeping the girls' lives private.
Sue
I hadn't seen what y'all were talking about with the Obama girls. Just saw a still photo. Probably the worst of the bunch I suppose.
Oh my. They surely were radiating sullen, weren't they. Oh boy. I just had to laugh. I actually laughed out loud.
My dad had a number of high-profile positions throughout his life and often enough his family was expected to show up at events. A lot of the events were dumb (in our teen minds, anyway), although nothing as dumb as a turkey pardoning. Lol.
I remember only once that my brothers and I pulled the stunt with the eye rolling, etc. My mother had a chat with us on the way home about the behavior she expected from us no matter how dumb the event was. That was the only time that she ever gave any inkling that she thought some events were stupid, too.
Dad didn't say anything when he got home. At supper all he said was, "I trust that won't happen again", and that was the end of it. Looking back I feel bad for how we must have embarrassed him. Oh well. We were good kids, and all of us turned out to be fine adults.
I don't think any of the above mentioned behaviors are scandalous. It's a risk you take when you put your kids on tv. They're still figuring things out.
However, I do there is a difference between the Gosselin twins being brought onto a tv show for the sole purpose of bashing their own father and the Obama girls being coerced into watching their dad pardon a turkey.
The first situation being despicable, the second just terribly hokey. The second situation not being much different than the Gosselin twins watching their mother lay in the yard after a party, complaining about how tired she was from preparing the party when everyone knows that she hadn't done much, if any, of the work. Hokey, hokey, hokey.
Eye rolling would have been ok that time!
One of the most used phrases by parents is probably "don't you roll your eyes at me!". I think that the Obama's have done a good job with keeping the girls' lives private.

"Your face is going to get stuck like that!"
P.S. - I'm sorry for the screwed up links today. I swear, I'm not drinking any Rumspringa!
We're decorating the house straight on through the day. Two big trees and a mini, lots of knick knacks and then we tackle of outdoors.
Oh, if only I could decorate the trees like Kate. I'd have strung a couple sets of lights, thrown up a few ornaments, and called it a day.
I wonder if lights are still hard to come by...
Not to nitpick, but it wasn't the general "media" that started this with the President's daughters, it was ONE particular GOP staff member. A woman named Elizabeth Lauten. She's the spokesperson/congressional aide for Republican Rep. Stephen Fincher.
IMO this had very little to do with the girls, but was just another route to bash the President.
She was a temperamental 6-year old and there were so many "Mady Gosselin + bitch" search results that it blew my mind. 53
A temperamental 6 year old whose only "privacy" was at school. I'm sure that Katie and TLC played up her emotionality (is that a word?).
Katie has defended herself online and on various shows, but never addressed a blog named MG is a B---- about her 6 year old daughter. Inexcusable.
"Your face is going to get stuck like that!" 58
That was the biggie in my family. Hadn't thought of it in years.
I spent my early years in NYC, where both my parents grew up. After we moved to an NJ suburb, we went back often. I was totally mortified when my mother took my 13 year old hand to cross Fifth Avenue.
Oh, if only I could decorate the trees like Kate. I'd have strung a couple sets of lights, thrown up a few ornaments, and called it a day. 60
This was clearly a flip/sarcastic comment. Different folks have different ideas for holiday decor. Katie does it like she does everything else - half assed. It's the kudos that she expects that irk so many of us.

I think Elizabeth Lauten's apology was heartfelt. Maybe at first it was an attack against Obama, but I think she realized she was criticizing two young girls -and this would decrease her own popularity. But by that time, many articles had run with the story or rather,non-story.
I have to disagree Formerly Duped. IMO, if it was heartfelt it wouldn't have already been deleted & she wouldn't have just gone private instead of dealing with the fallout for HER words & HER criticism. No one did this to her. She created the shit storm & is now hiding from it. IMO

I agree and this woman was way out of line, choosing to attack the Pres. using his kids.
Nice.
When are people (grown ups) going to check themselves before they screed on social media?
Of course what makes this ridiculous is that this President and his wife have been so under the radar in raising their girls.
Compare that to Kate who wanted to develop an app based on her kids, *using their real names and likenesses*, a la Diner Dash.
POTUS and FLOTUS quashed any idea of making Sasha and Malia dolls.
Wow, Kate really does not like being with her kids. Who does laundry on Thanksgiving? Nobody I know. Thanksgiving is family time, yes, Kate even if it is only your 8 kids. You could have done the laundry during the week, since you have a lot of time when the kids are in school, and the fact you don't work, part-time or full-time.
As for this idiot, who made those nasty comments about the Presidents kids, she should be fired! She is no better that a cyber bully. I saw the clip and did not see anything wrong with the Presidents kids. What does she want the Presidents kids to do, jump up & down and squeal like a idiot, so then she can make more nasty comments about how badly the girls acted. She must be a Tea-party idiot. They are determine to make the Presidents term hell, any way they can, they said so.
Interesting. Do that search now, and most of the top hits include Mady, but apply the word "bitch" to her mother.

Elizabeth Lauten's comments were way out of line though she was by no means the only person to say something. It was literally all over the media as the pop culture story of the day. However the other stories I saw were far less malicious and didn't seem to be intending to attack the girls. The other stories were more like, "typical teens, lol!" I.e. as I said before, laughing with them not at them. Comments were made in good faith. Nonetheless I believe all of it was probably mortifying to a typical teenager, and I'm sorry that happened to them. Comments often made in good faith are upsetting to kids.
Recently in MN a GOP representative made anti-Muslim remarks on his FB page. Shortly thereafter his day job issued a statement that was pretty darn honorable.
It said something about the man had brought shame to their company, them, their town, and their state....and the man was no longer employed there.
I wonder if this woman's employer will be as honorable. I'd sure like her boss to issue a statement saying that she has brought shame upon us, and will be moved to a less prestigious position within the organization. Except that that would probably be the height of hypocrisy. Lol.

Exactly. I agree. I don't see anything "heartfelt" about it. There was nothing else she could do. She was under the gun, so to speak. She prayed about it? Perhaps she should have done some praying and soul searching before she went on social media and bashed those girls. I'm not buying the apology. She needs to THINK before she makes such comments. She put her foot in her mouth and then tried to remove it by issuing an apology. Maybe some bought it, but I think that quite a few people did not.
Ok, I take your points. A little sad that I was duped again, I guess. Bringing the girls' short skirts and eye rolling into the political game was wrong but I had hoped Lautens was sincere...but it's so a nasty in politics where anything and everything is a target.I hate the political ads that really bash the opponents. Stick to the points of your platform. And unfortunately other articles took up the slack, opinion polls were created...that's what I meant by non-story- was it that important and was it right to judge two girls? No.
Just checked the TLC line up for shows to be broadcast and no signs of K+8, and Cake Boss through 12/8. Primary Shows listed most frequently are Say Yes to the Dress, 19 Kids and Counting, and the Little Couple. Hoarding, What Not to Wear, and 90 Day Fiancee appear to run second.
Who knows what is going to happen with K +8 or Cake Boss, with the recent HBB exposure. Seems to me that TLC is weighing out their choices carefully. As they should.
I will say that 90 Day Fiancee (to a lesser degree) and Hoarding:Buried Alive are both exploiting mental illness and desperation!! Neither show is worth viewing, JMO.
Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving!! And my condolences to Franky on your sad loss.

The Supreme Court is hearing a really big free speech case today about a man who made threats on FB against his wife. It's going to be interesting how they come out on this one.
new post finally!
