Jonas Brothers Surprise First Tweens with White House Visit
January 21, 2009 7:48 AM
ABC News has learned that after their scavenger hunt last night, First Tweens Malia and Sasha Obama were paid a surprise White House visit by the Jonas Brothers.
The visit came after Malia, Sasha, and some of their friends from their new school Sidwell Friends saw two new Disney movies -- High School Musical 3 and Bolt -- and participated in a scavenger hunt in which they ran around their new home, learning about this history of the White House. White House ushers had organized a similar scavenger hunt for a young Chelsea Clinton when she first moved into the White House in 1993.
At the end of Malia and Sasha's scavenger late-night hunt, they opened a door to discover their favorite musical performers: Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas -- the pop boy band sensation who first exploded on the Disney Channel and also appeared earlier this week at the Kids' Inaugural Concert.

Awwww, thats so cute!! I think our new first family is absolutely adorable!!! I'm so happy that Obama won. I would have voted for him a million and one times if given the chance... AND NO NOT JUST BECAUSE HE'S BLACK (which, by the way, is only half of him). Anyway, congrats Obama family and enjoy the White House girls!

To everyone who still discrimanates, GET A LIFE! We have our President and the First Family and they should be able to do whatever they want to do with their personal lives! I think it is great that Malia and Sasha got to meet the Jonas Brothers! After all, they are our first family girls! :)

That is so exciting. These girls are having the time of their lives, and I hope that they keep having fun. I pray and hope that President Barack Obama will succeed in his presidency. The first family is a very classy well mannered family. I also pray that God puts his blanket of safety and grace on The Obamas. I am very happy that you won President Barack Obama. Continue to do your great work, and one day I hope I get to meet you and your family.
Lots of Love,
Safirah

I can not believe the comments that are made on these postings. These 2 little girls have absolutely nothing to do w/ how this country has been ran (EVER). This article was about the Jonas Brothers surprising them, which I think is great & it has turned "political" on your ass. It is crazy how "grown" people act. I BET if your kids had this opportunity, you would not have one bad word to say. Let these children be children. "WE THE PEOPLE" is going to be what makes them grow up so fast & bitter, b/c of comments made by, not children but, grown folks!!
I am truly happy he is our President & I will support him all the way. Nobody is perfect & "YES" he will mess up, I'm quite sure but, give the man a chance to "show & prove". I believe he can make a change.
To the person that made the comment-
Obama 08/Biden 09, how immature can you be. I truly hope you don't have kids, if so, I feel sorry for them to have a parent who apparently had no compassion to a human. No matter what color they are. I'll pray for you, you certainly need it.

I am black and my kids LOVE the Jonas Bros as well as me. So that's not true that black kids don't like them. Grow up. Our kids are not racist like many of you were and are. And todays generation consider tweens to be ages 8-12. It's the time before you become a teenager. Before yall make dumd comments research them first to be sure you don't look like a doofus. Most of you sound like tweens yourselves. Grow up and get your own lives.

I think this is a fabulous time for these young children. This may never happen again in history. They have been blessed to experience this. I hope and pray for the success of this president and his family. I also hope to one day meet all of them. This would be one great experience for me and my family.

hey, that's great. They got to meet the Jonas brothers. Hey, Reba, Be very proud of your indian / native heritage. I am. If it wern't for the native americans, the earliest settlers would have died.
One day We'll have a first people preisident.

Great reporting as usual Jake.
Did you get an autographs from the J Bros?

Good idea to teach the girls respect for the White House. Times are hard now, but then thinking back they were hard for Bush as well. 9/11 and Katrina were big events for his administration to deal with and tweak the necessary responses. However, the MSM beat him down just like they did McCain, Palin and even Hillary to get Obama elected. Hopefully all their effort will prove to be a good thing for America and Obama will be up to the job for ALL Americans.

Way to go Jake... lots of plugs for mother corp. properties. Keep up the good work.

Ick! Just.....plain.....ICK!
Don't tell me that America _still_ has to suffer under the vmindless, Tiger Beat-minded dribblings of the Jonas Brothers???
They are the WORST thing to happen to music. ALL music!
Yes, even "Disco Duck" is better than anything these brainless poser boys could be ordered to sing by their corporate masters.

Come on.... the girls are 7 and 11 they are children not TWEENS and what little girl that age is not in love with the Jonas Bros.

Seriously, there is a problem when you need a band to be of one race or another. A person is a person; it shouldn't matter what their race is, for goodness sake.
