First Families

Reading a bit in Newsweek about the Obama Girls previewing their new bedrooms at the White House. One thought that occurred to me is this: Since JFK, no first family with dependent children has had a boy-child. W had Jenna and whats-her-name, Clinton has Chelsea, Carter had Amy, and Reagan, Bush, Ford, Nixon and Johnson had grown children when they served.

Plenty of First Daughters, but no First Sons. Why do American voters hate boys so much?

whats-her-name is Barbara. I assume she's the good one because she's named after her dad's mother and she is a brunette.

Boys tear things up more than girls. I think it is a good policy.

I think you can guess that she's the good one because her name is harder to recall.

Also Jenna sounds like a Theta.
