President Obama and Malia Just Went for a Walk — We Know What That Was All About

President Obama and Malia Just Went for a Walk — We Know What That Was All About

https://mic.com/articles/151335/president-obama-and-malia-just-went-for-a-walk-we-know-what-that-was-all-about#.CC13VVPnE

According to a dispatch from the White House pool, earlier in the day President Barack Obama and his eldest daughter, Malia, went "for a short walk on a trail near their residence."

This could be just your average I'm-bored-you're-bored-it's-nice-out-let's-walk walk, because of course, our POTUS probably doesn't have anything better to do than stroll around the grounds.

We don't think strolling is what this walk is about. Given recent events, we have some theories about the discussion Obama and his eldest are currently having.

What people give a shit about is my father fighting so hard to keep it illegal.

I don't see Obama engaging in a lot of hypocrisy, like, ever. He's a very smart man.

Most of the members of his "Choom Gang" went on to become successful lawyers, etc.

I'm kind of offended that living in that highly protected environment forced her to wait until she was 18 to make it to a fun concert and try ganja. I feel sorry for her, too.

She's an adult. She can do as she pleases.

These haters, sheesh. No fun allowed!

agents who are assigned to Mahlia allowed her to hang in a big crowd of other women unguarded and openly smoke pot? Or do you think it was aright wing look alike?

The girl kinda looks like Malia. And she's smoking what looks like a cigarette to me.

I tend to believe that the Secret Service takes some pains to allow their charges to live normal lives while they keep them protected. So who really knows?

I'm just glad that DU has a sense of humor about trivial subjects and that no one is hammering the abuse button feeling morally superior to Obama (a well-known ganja enthusiast in his youth, and one of the world's best dads) or Malia (an adult living a cloistered life who seems to have grown up to be surprisingly normal).

And we should leave them alone. They're a great family and she's had to grow up in a fishbowl. Can't be fair at all.
