Obama Sisters School Lunch Poster Will Stay Up!!!

Those posters in Washington's Union Station that refer to the Obama daughters and urge Congress to get behind healthy school lunches are staying up, despite calls from White House lawyers to take them down.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs used the poster campaign to reissue a call to the media to protect the privacy of the Obama daughters, Malia and Sasha. "Without getting into the specifics, we've been very clear, I think, from even before the administration started that their two girls would have a very private life, and we want to protect that private life and their privacy. And we hope that others will be respectful, as many in the media have been, about not using the girls as a publicity stunt," Gibbs said.


The 14 posters feature the picture of a little girl with the headline, "President Obama's daughters get healthy school lunches. Why don't I?" The names and faces of the Obama sisters do not appear. The Obama daughters go to one of Washington's elite private schools. (They transferred this year from another private school -- the University of Chicago Lab School.)
