Woman To Lose Job For Calling Obama’s Daughters 'classless' by succyreal(m): 1:35pm On Dec 02, 2014
Using abusive word and calling a President daughter 'classless' has cost someone her job.

Elizabeth Lauten, the communications director
for Rep. Stephen Fincher of Tennessee is
has tender her resignation on
December 1, after telling the first daughters to
“try showing a little class."
A staff of the Republican party is set to resign
from her job after she criticized Malia and Sasha
Obama, daughters of US President, Barack
Obama via Facebook.

Elizabeth Lauten , the communications director
for Rep Stephen Fincher of Tennessee is
expected to tender her resignation today,
December 1, after telling the first daughters to
“try showing a little class,” NBC News reports.
Lauten criticized the girls and their parents after
the annual White House Turkey pardon ceremony
which was part of the recently concluded
Thanksgiving celebration.
She wrote:
“Dear Sasha and Malia, I get you’re both in those
awful teen years, but you’re a part of the First
Family, try showing a little class. At least respect
the part you play.”
“Then again your mother and father don’t
respect their positions very much, or the nation
for that matter, so I’m guessing you’re coming
up a little short in the ‘good role model’
department.”
“Nevertheless, stretch yourself. Rise to the
occasion. Act like being in the White House
matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect,
not a spot at a bar. And certainly don’t make
faces during televised public events.”
Lauten later apologized for the criticism on
Facebook:
“I reacted to an article and quickly judged the
two young ladies in a way that I would never
have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager.”
“After many hours of prayer, talking to my
parents and re-reading my words online, I can
see more clearly how hurtful my words were.
Please know that these judgmental feelings truly
have no place in my heart.”
“Furthermore, I'd like to apologize to all of those
who I have hurt and offended with my words,
and pledge to learn and grow (and I assure you I
have) from this experience.”
The apology came after many criticized Lauten
on social media with some calling for her
resignation.
