Barack Obama Chooses Sidwell Friends School for His Daughters

The Mercury News is reporting that Barack Obama's Daughters will be attending the D.C.'s Sidwell Friends School. This is the same school that Chelsea Clinton attended when her father was President.

I reached out to Sidwell alum and Slate's chief political correspondent (and frequent Hot Seater) John Dickerson for a comment:

"I made my deepest friendships there. I learned about serving other people and I learned how to think for myself. Also: The girls should take Tonken, Turner and Lang when the time comes."

I'm going to throw in Elko, Crow, Mog, Banker and Aronson. The only downside is that I'm kind of bummed that this will make it near impossible to get my son in.

Go Quakers!
