The World is Watching Bridget, Malia, and Sasha

It's not just Americans who are fascinated with the kids involved in this election. People all around the planet are keeping an eye on Bridget, Malia, and Sasha. Check out this Scottish point of view, for example:

As for Malia Ann and Natasha Obama, they face the possibility of eight years at the White House if their father attains the maximum two terms, emerging as 17 and 15-year-olds respectively. It's not as free as being a celebrity's child, like Peaches Geldof, because a politician's child has to learn very quickly at a young age that there is a potential political cost for everything they do. The burden of high office often rests on small shoulders.

Interest in the girls is especially high in Kenya and Indonesia, where the Obama family has relatives, and in Bangladesh, where Bridget was born.
