Obama Says Malia and Sasha May Be Looking for Babysitting Jobs

I agree 100% that the President's daughters should be left alone by the press and any other type of news and/or publications. It is also my opinion that the President should not make reference to them in his public appearances.

Is this while they are in Spain or Martha Vineyard?
Being so extravagant when American families are having such difficult times just doesn't seem right. I am not just talking O'Bama here but beginning at the top. Is this "do what I say and not as I do!"

Oh, great, when the girls are out doing their jobs more guys for personal protection for them.

I hope that if they had boys, they would also offer them babysitting jobs.

Is the money they make baby sitting going to be off the books, or is it going to be taxed? What will it cost the taxpayers for extra security ?

President Obama's daughters need normalcy. Babysitting and being taught the value of the dollar by their parents is good for them to learn as children. I doubt very much it costs us taxpayers any additional money for the Obama's babysitting service. Secret Service Agents are on duty 24/7 using surveillance cameras to keep watch everywhere in the White House; they have always done this in the past for our previous Presidents serving in Office.

It's a great idea that Pres.& Mrs. Obama want their daughters to get babysitting jobs - it's a great idea to teach them responsibility & they should be earning some money to pay some of their expenses. However who is going to want to have a babysitter for their children who have several Secret Service Agents either inside or outside their homes while the girls babysit. I think it might be a difficult & uncomfortable situation for both the girls & the children they are babysitting.

Although these girls will be accompanied by the secret service, I believe they are way too young to be babysitting. I would not trust my kids to a 9 or I2 yr. old, secret service or not. I also don't believe for one minute that President Obama would allow his girls to babysit at such a young age. Everything he does is calculated and cunning. There is a point behind this article hidden somewhere, and it isn't babysitting. Perhaps he is beginning to realize that we are so far in debt that we are going to have to start employing our children at a much younger age, so he can find some other means to pay back the huge debt that he has incured. The majority of the people in this nation are so broke, many have lost their homes, their jobs, yet it appears that he is squeezing the middle class so tightly that there is massive depression going on in our country. God help us.

Im so glad Obama can find time and money for Vacations when the normal American family is suffering so much. I think Obama has had all of this fame go to his head and I think he is un in touch.

Lets see if I have this correct. Each of his Daughter's will be accompanied by at least 2 Secret Service Agents at a cost of how much per job just so they can earn 40-50 bucks, maybe? How much sense does this make for the taxpayer who will be footing the bill? Well it makes no sense at all. Why should we, the taxpayer, foot the Thousands of Dollars this will cost just so his Daughters can earn a few dozens of Dollars. This man has no concept of how economics works. All he is capable of is wasting the Taxpayer's money.
