While in Ghana, President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and daughters Sasha,8, and Malia,10, toured Cape Coast Castle, a former slave fort, in Cape Coast, Ghana, on July 11, 2009. This is what the President had to say about his tour of the former slave castle in regards to his daughters: “I think it was particularly important for Malia and Sasha who are growing up in such a blessed way to be reminded that history can take very cruel turns”

Never before seen, by me atleast a US president touring a slave Castle paying respects to the real holocaust was the transAtlantic slave trade. I am glad he and his family are seeing this.
My favorite family. Look at Sasha, she look like she get into everything. I think the girls are ready to have some real fun, kiddies fun, like a fun park. It’s so heartwarming that the Obamas have visited alot of places in such a short time.
Its good to see the Obamas in the motherland!The girls are too cute
I LOVE me some Grandma Robinson! That lady is a rockstar in her own right!
Really love seeing this family. But….really hate seeing our first lady photographed in pants like that!
i’m glad to see them taking advantage of these opportunities and really exposing the girls to different cultures. they are at about that age where they can really soak in a lot of what they see.
Really love this man,love the way he just acts like an ordinary man.In total, love this family and please make more history by visiting ZIMBABWE-specifically my rural area Chihota.That would be fun!
they are cute
Wow, what an experience that must be! When I look at pictures like these and know that this is the President and his family, I can’t help but still be thrilled and amazed. It’s also good that they are revisiting this part of history. I think it’s important to know the struggles in order to appreciate where one is now. I’ve always wanted to go to Africa myself, I hope I will someday.
I love the first family, but Michelle needs to pay closer attention to the slacks she wears. She has the dresses down pat, but her hips and legs are not made for those style slacks she is seeing wearing in those pics, unless you are at home hoing in the garden, that is.
Welllll….. thank you and amen! That’s what I was sayin’.
I ACTUALLY LIKE HER PANTS. THEY SAY ONE THING COMFORTABLE. WHY SHEOULD SHE HAVE TO ALWAYS BE DRESSED UP. DO WE AS ORDINARY PEOPLE ALWAYS WEAR THE PERFECT CLOTHES (NO). KEEP WEARING WHAT YOU LIKE, MRS. OBAMA
