So you're saying we have two options to make you happy (still wouldn't happen, as I'm sure you'd find something else to whine about):

1. These girls never go anywhere outside of school & the WH, not even on official business with their father - since you've all whined about those trips too.

2. We send them off into the wild blue yonder ALONE, with no Secret Service, and risk kidnappings/assassinations/etc.

Which one do you choose?

Funny, in 2006, it looks like the Bush twins took a birthday trip to Argentina paid for by you, did that bother you too?

Update: One Twin Stays, One Twin Goes - ABC News

I am doubting this got the same outrage from you.

Whoops, looks like one of the Bush girls went to Mexico for Spring Break too - do you think she went sans Secret Service? I doubt it!

Both lived in dorms and love to travel—Jenna spent part of her junior year in Spain, and Barbara studied in Italy and spent last spring break at Playa del Carmen, a Mexican beach resort. But neither has much interest in D.C. and even less in Crawford, Texas, where their parents built the western White House. After the twins complained, "There's nothing to do out there," their father added what he calls the "whining pool" to give the girls a place to swim and sun. Even so, Jenna plans to summer in Austin, Barbara in New Haven. Their parents have seen each girl only a few times since the Inauguration, though their mother talks by phone with them "at least every other day," says a White House aide.

First off I don't know anybody who sends their 13yo daughter off to mexico with strangers as their escorts. Secondlly the escorts are guys who seem to like to engage in the "night life". Third he didn't pay for the escorts we did. We probably paid for the escorts escorts too. The kid is 13. It's not like they went to the park.

The girls never go anywhere outside of school and the white house? You know this how? Your contacts tell you this? ARe you saying Obama sends em off with strangers to mehico after waring that it isn't safe and then locks em in cages after school? Where is social services looking into your allegations?

So you are upset because they were 13 and that one of the parents didn't go with them?

Was she thirteen? I'm not blaming the kids like it appears you are trying to do. Why can't you hold Obama accountable? How come the only defense the swooners can ever come up with is well somebody else did it. Does that make it right in your eyes? Apparently so.

No, because they're white.

jk....but the difference is that Bush never played the class warfare card.
