Comments on: Zapatero's Daughters http://erikras.com/2009/09/26/zapateros-daughters/ Thoughts and photos from an American living in Spain. Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Carola http://erikras.com/2009/09/26/zapateros-daughters/#comment-4569 Carola Sun, 18 Jul 2010 23:01:50 +0000 http://www.erik-rasmussen.com/blog/?p=3110#comment-4569 I found this looking for foreign opinions on these kids. These girls were on an official visit, paid for from our taxes. If they don't want to be photographed they should stay at home and if they expect us to pay for their first-class trips they should at least have the decency to dress appropriately and understand that they too are ambassadors of our country. They have evidently been very badly brought up by adults who don't have a clue. The latest on the kids is a very strong rumour that the eldest one has quit home at age 16 to go and live in some kind of commune with her lover boyfriend. Her parents are in despair at her refusal to undergo treatment for her rampant obesity problem. Interestingly, Zapatero, who cannot even govern his own family, has decided to take it out on everyone else's by banning certain foods from schools. My kids know what works and what doesn't and if they buy a donut one day they know it's not a good idea to buy one the next. They know if they do they will end up looking like Zapatero's daughters. Zapatero seems to think all kids are as dumb as the ones he has brought up so he feels he has to legislate what is pure common sense. The good news: his disintegrating family might succeed in removing him from office. Not a minute too soon. I found this looking for foreign opinions on these kids.

While it's important to let children express themselves, it's also a parents' job to guide them and teach them how to behave in certain situations. And children (especially teenagers) need to learn there are also certain boundaries. As an adult I know I that I can't show up to work wearing a bath robe or pijamas. It's just not appropriate for an office. And above all, they are not just any Spanish familiy visiting someone in the US. They were there representing the Spanish and the Europeans. So the whole family should be aware of their role when visiting President Obama in the White House! The girls are young and could't know any better. But the parents knew the world media was watching and that they would publish the fotos. It was just unnecessarily embarrassing... A Spanish friend of mine told me about the embarrassing incident.

Quizá no sean los más bellos y modernos, pero no entiendo por qué los encuentran ofensivos o embarazosos. ¿qué hay de malo en un par de conservadores vestidos negros?

I have just found your blog looking for the foreign opinions of this theme. I am Spanish and this is so embarrasment for all the Spanish people. I am one of those who dont want Zapatero in the government and everyday he makes stupid things, and this is another one... probably, wont be the last one. Greetings from La Coruña Hi Erik!

I found some opinions, a lot of peaple say that it's inapropiate, but some peaple defend that is good. Im just looking becouse i like to know what think americans about our president’s family :)

I think: what can we expect for our President if he ist'n to I also entered here looking for foreign opinions on how they were dressed, because it is important for me what image they gave out of us. Nevertheless I agree that it is a more important Political management than how they dressed Espero que esto esté bien escrito, y que se entienda más o menos lo que quiero decir,jejeje.
