Morphine Prince 109,664 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A congressional aide who recently criticized President Barack Obama's teenage daughters on social media told NBC News on Monday that she would resign. Elizabeth Lauten, communications director for Republican Representative Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, had said via a Facebook post that Obama's daughters, Malia, 16, and Sasha, 13, needed to show "a little class," complaining they appeared to look disinterested last week during an appearance with their father at a White House pre-Thanksgiving ceremony at which he had "pardoned" a turkey. Her post unleashed a backlash on social media, prompting Lauten to later apologize on Facebook for her comments. Children of presidents have generally been off limits for criticism in Washington. "Act like being in the White House matters to you," Lauten said in the Facebook post last week. She also took a shot at the president and his wife, saying the Obama girls did not have good role models.

Supersonic 49,376 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 What is that hoe gonna do? Call the police and have two black teenagers shot because they gave a stank face? The more I think of it, the more plausible it is in America Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Angel 128 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Lol, such a shame. You don't have to agree with Pres. Obama's politics, but the children should remain out of it. These people have gotten low, and they're getting lower with their attempts to make them look bad. From what I can tell, these two young girls have been model children. I've never heard about them being in any trouble, like ever(?) But apparently this lady was arrested in her teen years for stealing. (Take this with grain and salt, lol) She must've gotten memory loss when writing that crock of shït. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Pinkman 4,660 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I mean, they were being disrespectful. It was live tv and that is not a good look.. With that being said, she took it too far with the personal attacks. I don't see anything wrong with what they were wearing, and she has no clue how the Obamas raised their children. It's science, bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The children have been "off limits" in the past, and that is a good rule to continue. She should be gone after this misstep. Glad she resigned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefani328 321 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Children are off-limits even if you don't like the parents. What grown ass woman picks on a 13 year old and 16 year old? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey 3,017 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 What grown ass woman picks on a 13 year old and 16 year old? Wait what they looked a lot older to me. Their outfits are inappropriate tho, don't they hire advisors to tell them what to wear? "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.

What should young teen girls wear to a rather informal appearance with their father, which was a pre-Thanksgiving ceremony at which he had "pardoned" a turkey? The whole ceremony isn't a serious event. The only thing inappropriate in this situation was the comments from the congressional aide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like it was a memorial ceremony or something, it was the President "pardoning" two ****ing turkeys mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear 7,515 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 "Act like being in the White House matters to you" Ever considered that these two children don't want to be part of the political world, and heaven forbid, want to be teenagers.
