[LOCKED] Sasha Obama to Michigan
Not meant to be political, just informative. Sounds like she is likely enrolling in U of M. Pretty cool regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum that a President's daughter picked Michigan (when they typically can choose whatever school they want).

Stay tuned - I hear Alabama is trying to flip her with offers of a hot tub in her dorm room.

I just saw this too. I'll reach my hand across the aisle and say this is very cool. If nothing else, it's good publicity for the university.

He's pretty cool, ESPN might be able to talk him into it. I'd be nice to see him as an honorary captain for a football game too.
He did the commencement address a few years ago IIRC.

Ask her why her dad never picked us in any of his NCAA brackets.
Will he be like Dan Dakich and be all lovey dovey about Michigan now that his kid goes there?

I'd like to see the refs try to pull that JT first down bullshit again with the secret service standing there.

Well then maybe you guys should take your stupid fucking red hats and post in a different thread.
The daughter of a former president, who could surely go to any school on the planet, is coming to Michigan. That's pretty awesome. And I'd feel that way regardless of which president's kid it was.

Thanks for clicking into the thread that was very clearly titled, reading the post, reading through the comments, finding one you agreed with, clicking "reply" and typing out multiple sentences to let us know how little you care about this particular topic.

You at least care enough to click on the thread and spend 5 seconds typing a response.

I know one of the Secret Service dudes that used to watch over her and her sister.
Before that, he had to watch over the Bush daughters.
The Obama girls were uneventful. The Bush daughters were an absolute handful to keep in check.

That’s probably because the Obama daughters wouldn’t get away with half the stuff the Bush ones did.
Just look how a certain media freaks out about Michelle Obama wearing sleeveless dresses but having a centerfold plagiarizer as First Lady is no big deal.
Good for Sasha and the Obamas

You're projecting a little too much politics here. It was because the Obama girls were middle school age, while the Bush girls were teens / 20's.
