Obama Girls Get a White House Tour



By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts

After trips to two D.C. private schools, Malia and Sasha Obama are getting a special personal tour of the White House this afternoon, accompanied by grandma Marian Robinson and their mother.

"Mrs. Obama greatly appreciated this invitation to provide an opportunity for the girls to feel at home and be comfortable in this transition process," Katie McCormick Lelyveld, Michelle Obama's spokeswoman, told our colleague Richard Leiby in an e-mail. Laura Bush was in Kentucky this morning for an event at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site and was expected back this afternoon.

Yesterday Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, visited Georgetown Day School and today toured Sidwell Friends -- the two private institutions that seem to be at the top of the future first lady's list. She visited the both campuses last week.

2. These girls were both born under a very lucky star.

They will live a gold-plated existence for the rest of their much-feted lives. Thank goodness they'll have their mother
and grandmother to keep them somewhat grounded.

3. A White House tour--what a nasty thing for Laura Bush to do.

4. I want to know when is Sasha's first press conference

in the press room? That should be a hoot. She'd probably tell the press what they should print about her father.
