A letter of advice from Bush Twin's to the Obama Girls (:
This letter is taken off CNN. Indeed it shows how communication can occur at any age. It no longer is subjected to people who know each other but even to strangers. The Obama girls are new to the whole idea of living in the White House (WH) and the Bush Twins were being sweet enough to write them a letter giving them tips on how to live a life as the first children. I guess the Bush twins have been living in the WH for a good amount of time since their childhood all the way till their adolescent years. Nobody will know the best hiding places or have greater parties as compared to them.
Posting it for the world to see allowed people to avoid having the misconception as to how the girls grew up as the first children. People reading will learn that there isn't much hidden meaning to decode or underlining impressions that only the skeptical minds would configure. The Obama girls, who are still young growing children, probably would have been delighted to be shown the ropes as to how to act, talk and live.
The most important part of the letter to me would be about embracing their Dad, the POTUS. I think it was particularly heart warming as they touched about how the media would prey on their innocent minds and try to put in ideas about their Dad. It shows how the media provides information only for us to decide if its true. Regardless of it being the news or gossip pages. We have to be aware of what we read and how such information is conveyed. Via the different ways of communication, one must pick and choose selected information. I believe that is the way communication revolves in the current world. This is due to the massive amount of information conveyed through various communicative methods.
I hope the Obama girls would grow up well and strong in the WH (:

I didn't expect such levels of communication going on in the first family. The Bush twins seem to really like the lifestyle of being in the first family and with such understanding, they have shared it with the obama girls AND the world, upon posting such a letter.
ReplyDeleteI like the way Perez Hilton posted it! haha!

it sure is great to see how the media works (:
ReplyDeletei mean, look at how much press and news there is about war, deceit, grief, etc. but here we have such simple heart warming news still. it just makes us realise at times that the world is not as bad as it seems.
also, do you realise that the media can catch hold of anything! anything at all! from a letter to a secret code that may be detrimental in war!
ReplyDeleteya! it just dawned onto me that if we probe enough, we ourselves can publicise anything that we want and call ourselves media! i mean, look at the different kinds of things the media publishes! it's about anything that strikes our human attention! and we can do so in our daily lives with our friends!
