It shows utter disrespect for fiscal responsibility because I am sure the president and his wife are not personally paying for at a minimum the cost of the 25 secret service agents need to be there.

As far as the parenting aspect well it pretty much speaks for itself.

You mean this is the first time in the history of the United States where the Secret Service is enlisted to guard the kids of the president? Wow what balls he has.

Yea, that Amy Carter was a world traveler.

Those Bush girls were always taking 23 Secret Service agents with them. In fact in that famous episode when they ditched their guards it wasn't just 3 as reported, it was 23 and wasn't in Austin TX but Paris France. The Secret Service just wanted to save face.

What is being overlooked is the White House tried to have the story pulled. The press is only supposed to publicize the Obama kids' activities when they are being used as political props. Now, later this week when Malia travels to Arkansas to aid in tornado recovery, the press can report that.

i was just reading where this story has been pulled from a number of sites. that, to me, is more troubling than the story itself.

My god. Teenagers should never be allowed to take chaperoned school tours to foreign countries during spring break. How appalling.

Obama Derangement Syndrome: it's incurable.

BTW: private trips, and things like family food in the White House, are paid for privately by the president. Not by taxpayers

Why would the White House have the location out of country of a president's family pulled from publicity if it were leaked? Safety of the children from the loons of this world? Naw ... couldn't be that. Must be a secret coverup.
