Obamas steer oldest daughter to UDC… in ‘The Onion’

Malia Obama heads off to college next year, and her parents likely miss her already. So how about a school that’s close to home – and a cost-saving education to boot? The Onion’s got it covered.

WASHINGTON—Repeatedly emphasizing the benefits of completing her core requirements at a fraction of the cost of a four-year school, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama continued their efforts this week to persuade their 17-year-old daughter, Malia, to attend the University of the District of Columbia Community College.

Sure, it’s satire, but still… How about it, Malia?

The Associated Press wrote recently about how the Obamas really are preparing for the next phase in the soon-to-be-Sidwell graduate’s life.
