Even In The White House, Sasha And Malia Still Have Chores

Posted by Cole Gamble at 1:00 PM on March 10, 2009

I’ve really been enjoying the tough talk President Obama has dished out lately. This man wants everyone to know that no one gets a free ride. Including his kids.

You’d think being the president’s daughter would come with advantages, but for the Obama girls freedom from house work is not one of them.

According to the new issue of PEOPLE, the rules are the same in the White House as they were in their home in Chicago.

Sasha and Malia still clean up after dinner, make their beds and keep their rooms clean. Michelle Obama has even asked the White House staff not to let things easy on the girls. “People want to make your life easy,
and when you have small kids — I’ve explained this to the staff — they don’t need their lives to be easy. They’re kids,” she says.

Is daddy Obama laying down the kid law setting a good example?
