Read What Happened To Lawmaker’s Aide After Critisizing Obama’s Daughters

A communications director for a Republican lawmaker, Elizabeth Lauten, revealed on Monday that she would resign after she posted a Facebook rant about US President Barack Obama’s daughters.

It was gathered that Lauten, a spokeswoman for Congressman Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, had written a post slamming Malia and Sasha, aged 16 and 13, for looking bored at a public event with their father.

She told US media outlets on December 1, 2014, Monday that she would quit. Her resignation follows a weekend of virulent criticism about her diatribe targeting the Obama girls.

It was gathered that the teens had stood beside Obama – looking somewhat bored – as he issued the annual Thanksgiving turkey “pardon,” saving two birds from the dinner table.

The underwhelmed expressions of the teenaged sisters sparked mainly amused comment, but Lauten’s remarks were notably more caustic.

“Then again, your mother and father don’t respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter,” Lauten wrote in her post. 

“So I’m guessing you’re coming up a little short in the ‘good role model’ department.

“Nevertheless, stretch yourself. Rise to the occasion. Act like being in the White House matters to you.

“Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar,” 

she added, apparently referring to the girls’ short skirts.

While apologizing on Facebook, Lauten said:“I quickly judged the two young ladies in a way that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager.”

US media report relatively little about the private lives of the Obama girls, and personal attacks against a president’s children are considered the taboo.
