1. Chelsea went there too.

It's probably for security reasons.

2. I didn't realize the Biden grandchildren go there, too

That's nice for all of them -- they've become friends on the campaign trail.

3. It was the right move.

4. Why is anyone surprised?

Politicians aren't stupid....they are the 'upper class', they are better than us common folk, and no, no one is exempt.

Hold your leaders accountable for WHAT EFFECTS YOU, not where they send their kids to school.

6. If I were Obama I would be worried about my childrens safety.

I think there are some sick people out there, and I wouldn't think his kids would be the safest in public schools. I think parents have a whole lot to do with how well taught a child will become anyway. A public school, or private school would probably have little impact on Obama's children. Barack, and Michelle would make sure their kids did well.

7. It would be a security nightmare to send the kids to public school.

And would be very difficult for the rest of the kids attending a public school.

Whether that's good PR or not, does anyone really want to further burden the Secret Service with protecting this family?

5. Quakers FTW! n/t

8. FTW?? What does that mean, please?
