Barack and Michelle Obama continue to be treated like royalty by Democrats and their corporate media cronies.
Big media mouthpieces trip all over themselves to heap praise on the former first couple as if they were some sort of gods.
But the Obamas’ oldest daughter, Malia, just made one life-changing decision that left her famous father stunned into silence.
Malia Obama is the first-born child of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michele Obama.
Malia is now a 25-year-old woman, and has decided to pursue a Hollywood career.
Given the Obama mega deal with Netflix, the move by Malia should come as no real surprise.
Like most Democrats, the Obamas are eager to use Hollywood to continue pushing their woke leftist propaganda and remain relevant.
But what is a surprise is the move Malia made to drop her surname and go simply by Malia Ann.
No-bama
“Fans did a double take after Malia’s pen name was revealed in the Sundance Institute’s ‘Meet the Artist’ spotlight video, which introduced her as filmmaker Malia Ann, seemingly in an effort to distance herself from her powerful parents, who have also launched careers in entertainment with Higher Ground Productions,” E! News reported.
Prior to her invitation to the Sundance lab, Malia worked as a staff writer on the Donald Glover-produced series Swarm.
The show is a dark comedy about a fan obsessed with an R&B star who is seemingly styled after Beyoncé.
“She’s a very professional person,” Swarm Co-Creator Janine Nabers told Vanity Fair. “She’s an incredible writer and artist.”
Glover, who also created and starred in Atlanta, added, “I feel like she’s just somebody who’s gonna have really good things coming soon.”
“Her writing style is great,” he added. “We can’t be easy on her just because she’s the [former] President’s daughter.”
The hot lights of the Hollywood spotlight
Only time will tell whether Malia Ann can stand on her own two feet in Tinsel Town.
Nepotism and cronyism are simply parts of life in America these days, regardless of the industry.
But at the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is the final product.
If Malia is untalented, eventually, her famous last name will stop opening doors – or, at least, it should.
Conversely, if she is good at her craft, the charges of nepotism will fade away.
For example, nobody cares, or even really remembers, that Robert Downey, Jr.’s father was in the business.
Unfortunately for Malia, she will be forced to cut her teeth underneath the hot spotlight of a Hollywood obsessed with the Obamas.
For example, last fall, GQ, (allegedly still a men’s magazine), celebrated Malia as a men’s fashion icon, writing, “Easygoing pants have been the anchor of Malia’s great recent menswear-y outfits: There was the combo of jaunty cinch-back canvas khaki pants, gray zip-up hoodie, and Mars Yards she wore on a Los Angeles stroll early last year. A pair of green, raw-hemmed Assembly work pants and Y-Project hiking boots for a night out at Soho House. Slouchy knee-length denim shorts and Patta x New Balance 990s on a Whole Foods run over the summer.”
Hopefully, the film critics will not be such overt suck ups and will critique her work on its merits, not on her parents.
