The Obama daughters are having a lovely European tour in the manner of the American upper class, with educational stops at Towers both Eiffel and London, Notre Dame Cathedral, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, and, of course, the requisite shopping spree-with maman, nanny grand-mère, and motorcade in tow. Says Politics Daily’s Lynn Sweet: “It is not known when Mrs. Obama and her family will return to the United States.” How fortunate for them that in this kind of educating, as in their choice of schooling, Sasha and Malia are the children of parents who can afford it. Not for them the tender mercies of Democrats in Congress, fully owned and operated by the teachers’ unions, who would leave those less privileged to the deprivations and depredations of inner-city public schools.
