Sasha and Malia First Daughters:

From The Chicago Tribune:

Sasha and Malia Obama were seven and ten-year olds when their father, Barack Obama, was first elected President of the United in 2008. By the time they leave the White House at the end of their dad's second term in office, Sasha will be old enough to drive and her sister, Malia, will be ready for college.

to see whether it's her or her mom when they appear together as a family. They are very poised young ladies. But what else would you expect with parents like that?

I have the experience of having a twin sister. From the ages of about 12 to 14, she was taller than me. The day I realized I passed her was memorable.
