I don't remember other prez children's during photo ops. Do you? Did they act like those 2? I don't care if they are used in those photo ops for situations like this. Or the turkey pardoning. I just thought it strange how they act all the time. Even at the last photo op of the family at that college basketball game, the daughters looked miserable.
Thinking back, with an extremely fallible memory - not really. The Clinton's worked like hell to keep Chelsea out of the limelight. One of the things they did I approved of. GWB - well, his daughters were already in college (near enough) when he got elected but there was maybe one or two pictures of them at photo ops in the 8 years.
This side of the pond - you almost never saw Blair or Brown's kids, and don't see the baby Cameron at all.
Odd, that.
