Sasha and Malia Dolls Selling for $3,000 on eBay

Sasha and Malia, the humans, ARE partly Caucasian, their paternal grandmother and great grandparent were Caucasian. Besides there are all shades of African-Americans,as well as different races, thanks to slavery150 yrs. ago.
Back to the dols, they don't look caucasian to me, bi-racial, maybe, but not Caucasian.

Well, since on is a race and one is a nationality, you could actually be both.

It's hard to compare a race to a country/continent of ancestral origin. It would make more sense to try to compare them, say, as "European-American" to "African-American." Besides, what does either ancestral origin or race have to do with anything? I think the dolls are cute. Michelle Obama is not doing any favors for her daughters: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. She should be pleased that a new generation of girls might grow up trying to emulate her daughters, but she might also try to earn some money for them by asking for royalties, for the girls' future.

Is it me or isn't Barack Bi-racial (think mom) and wouldn't that make his kids have some Caucasian in them, plus Barack is a distant relative of Cheney. Which also means, there is Caucasian in his kids. With that thought in mind, who cares how they look and why on this planet does it matter if they named the silly things after the presidents kids. I think Mrs. Obama should complain about something more relevant (like the loss of so many jobs). They look brown in the photo. Next she will be copy writing their names like Billy Joel.

Here is a blog with updated info on what is happening now with the dolls. Seems to be alot of upset people out there that they have not received the dolls after he renamed them even!

Money probably. How dare someone even try to make dolls of cute kids. Hmmm, Oh wait, we can kill cute kids for money, but not name dolls after the presidents kids. Okay, just needed to vent that.

It's not so strange. There aren't that many black dolls on the market.

Hey Leah, Yoy would pay 2 cents more than I would. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't take 100 if they were free.

To the person that slammed the media for IMPOSING on the Oama Familly, where's your brain. He Put them in the public eye when we ran for President. I think if he doesn't want them in the public eye, keep them inside the White House or send them to his brother, who lives in a hut.
Who are you kidding, he loves the attention, his ego is getting bigger everyday.

AND YES, THE DOLLS are the ugliest dolls I have ever layed my eyes on.
I can't wait until they come out with a boll of MRS.O, I wonder it they will make it like she looks on TV? Every time I see her, she looks like she just rolled out of bed. Her hair standing up all over her head. Someone should tell her, comb you hair when you get up.

I wouldn't keep one even if they paid me!
