You can already hear the disparaging remarks from the Right. There go those Obamas again, the arugula-eating, fitness-oriented, education-minded First Family, showing everybody how superior they are to the Palin Family. Some might just use the word uppity and some contemptuous racial slur that we'd rather not repeat. Either way, those in conservative circles will find some reason to denigrate Malia Obama, the elder daughter of the First Family, for being admitted to and choosing Harvard University. She will, however, take a year off to coincide her enrollment with her family's departure from the White House. In deferring her start date until 2017, Malia, 17, is availing herself of the opportunity to take a “gap year,” a popular option for high school seniors who are seeking experiences outside the classroom — some in far-flung parts of the world — before they begin pursuing a degree.
