Sasha and Malia Obama have been in the spotlight since they were 7 and 10 years old, respectively,
when their father, Barack Obama, was elected President of the United States in 2008.
Whether they're getting flack for not being enthused about the annual Thanksgiving turkey
pardon or popping up on Snapchat during an intense game of beer pong, the Obama sisters
are no-doubt blossoming into young women with a presence.
Here's a look back at some media moments the Obama sisters can never erase.
Beer pong
While on a fall college tour in 2015, Malia Obama attended a traditional college party
at Brown university, which means one thing: beer pong.
The Daily Caller published a Snapchat photo of the event, while Twitter went out of its skull.
Brown students later apologized for the leaked photos through their student newspaper, The
Brown Daily Herald.
Their letter voiced their regret at not having any "chill" when it came to Obama's long weekend visit.
That wasn't the only time Malia had been photographed near a beer pong game.
In the summer of 2016, The Daily Mail obtained a photo of the First Daughter that was allegedly
taken at a house party in Maryland.
That incident took place shortly after police on Martha's Vineyard reportedly broke up a
wild party where the 18-year-old Malia was rumored to be a guest.
Typical teenage shenanigans, only with the Secret Service involved.
Turkey time
The annual Presidential Turkey Pardoning can sometimes be a corny ceremony.
Throw in a few dad jokes, and you have a cringe-worthy time for any teenager.
Both Sasha and Malia were criticized for seeming disinterested at the event in 2014, with GOP
staffer Elizabeth Lauten crossing the line by telling the teens to "dress like you deserve
respect, not a spot at the bar."
Lauten later apologized.
And you can't blame the girls for rolling their eyes at their dad's lame jokes after
putting up with them for years.
"You know, there are certain days that remind me why I ran for this office.
And then there are moments like this where I pardon a turkey and send it to Disneyland."
After seven years of putting up with this stuff, the Obama sisters chose to skip their
father's final turkey pardoning ceremony in 2016.
Ryan Reynolds
Social media went crazy when a photo was released of Malia Obama played wing-woman for her sister
Sasha when the younger Obama met actor Ryan Reynolds.
The girls were attending their first State Dinner in 2016, dressed to the nines in ballgowns,
when a photographer snapped a perfect image of the two.
Sasha, who was 14 at the time, is in the foreground standing across from Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds,
looking giddy with excitement, and smiling with her hands moving.
Adorably, older sister Malia is in the background flashing her an encouraging thumbs-up and
smiling at her sister.
Aww!
Inauguration selfie
Being a daughter of the President doesn't mean you're not a normal teen.
Take the 2013 Presidential inauguration — both Malia and Sasha were seasoned veterans at
that point, having gone through their father's first Inauguration four years ago.
While the inaugural parade was going on, both Sasha and Malia whipped out their phones and
started taking selfies, according to Buzzfeed.
At one point, Malia even made a duck face.
Sasha even tried to take a photo of her parents stealing a kiss, but Malia swooped in at the
last minute and completely photobombed the moment.
Boom!
Instagram leak
Early in 2015, the Instagram feed for the Brooklyn rap collective Pro Era posted a photo
of Malia Obama rocking one of their shirts in what the New York Post called "one of her
first social media leaks since her father took office six years ago."
According to the Washington Post, a rep for the band said the photo was not Photoshopped,
and they got it from a mutual friend of one of the group's members.
The photo caused yet another social media explosion, and also revealed a big shift in
Malia's musical tastes from 2009, when she and her sister definitely leaned more towards
the Jonas Brothers.
Smoke-a-palooza
Newly graduated from high school, first kid Malia decided to head to Chicago to attend
Lollapalooza in the summer of 2016.
After the festival, Radar Online released a video, allegedly showing Malia smoking a
cigarette that according to witnesses may or may not have contained marijuana, which
is decriminalized in Illinois.
Other videos also surfaced showing her dancing.
Meghan McCain, daughter of President Obama's former political rival Senator John McCain,
stuck up for Malia's actions, calling out the media and demanding they "leave Malia
Obama alone!"
Days after the incident, Malia was spotted wearing a "Smoking Kills" t-shirt — the
perfect snarky comeback to internet haters.
You go, Obama sisters!
