More Candidates' Daughters
I came of age during the Carter Administration and I always felt a little sorry for Amy Carter, because she had to endure so much media scrutiny as she grew up. I felt the same way about Chelsea Clinton. The adult children of U.S. Presidents seem to be able to stay somewhat out of limelight if they want to (assuming they stay out of trouble), but the kids living in the Whitehouse are relentlessly observed and reported about, even (to a somewhat lesser extent) after their dads leave office and they become adults. There doesn't seem to be any effective way to shelter them.
My sympathies extended to Jenna and Barbara Bush up until they took the stage at the Republican National Convention. Since they are obviously and unambiguously looking for attention, they are going to have accept unfavorable as well as positive reactions. And if you want to read a hilarious negative critique of their campaign blog, see the "Twin Blogging" entry at World O'Crap.
