After three and a half years of insisting that the press respect their privacy, President Bush8217;s twin daughters made their media debut on Tuesday in a joint interview in Vogue. The pictures coincide with the first tentative appearances by the President8217;s daughters on the campaign trail.
On Tuesday, Barbara Bush appeared arm-in-arm with her father as the two walked toward Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House for a political trip to Michigan and Minnesota. Jenna Bush went with her father on a campaign trip in Pennsylvania on Friday, and is to introduce her mother at two fund-raisers in Alabama and Georgia.
In the Vogue interview, the daughters present a picture of themselves in contrast to the image of fun-loving twins known for partying and underage drinking. Jenna Bush also says that she and her sister made the decision to campaign for their father. 8216;8216;It8217;s not like he called me up and asked me,8217;8217; Jenna Bush says. 8216;8216;They8217;ve never wanted to throw us into that world, and I think our decision probably shocked them. But I love my dad, and I think I8217;d regret it if I didn8217;t do this.8217;8217; Bush, when asked said 8216;8216;the thing I8217;m most excited about is that I get to spend the last campaign of my life with two girls I love.8217;8217; 8212; NYT
