Being 5'9" in middle school sucks. I've been 5'9" since the 6th grade, and for two years there was only one boy in school taller than me.

Good lord, 5'9"!!! I wish I were that tall...she's going to be a beautiful young lady.

I like when he talks about his girls, the look on his face is always priceless. My favorite Malia/Sasha tale is when he said when Sasha was three she would be walking around singing drop it like its hot but poor baby thought it was drop it like a sock. lol I love him so much. :D

We will be starting our family next year, i can't wait to see that same look in my soon to be husbands eye. He is great around my God-daughter and his little brother (3 years old). His fathers second marriage. Fathers are a wonderful thing.

The people comments over at Politico are ugly and hateful concerning this, but what do you expect from haters, something kind. I don't think so. I'm proud of the President and his lovely family.

And she's gorgeous. She could totally be a model. But I'm sure Miss Obama will probably end up at Harvard Medical or Law School.

I'm glad FLOTUS is tall, she can help Malia deal with the cons of being a tall girl/female at such a young age.
I love POTUS, no matter what, she and Sasha are going to always be his little girls,

This is a sweet video. If you are blessed enough to have good and loving parents like President and Mrs. Obama, cherish them till the day they die because no one will love you like them in this life. God bless the Obamas and keep them safe.

Icecube, to come up with a post like that or even contemplate thought race baiting at this moment of joy does not makes you any less crazy than Limbaugh and Beck combine.
