Obamas vs. Trumps: A Comparison Of First Children, What May Be Similar Between Sasha, Malia Ivanka, Barron & More? [PHOTO]
The most powerful seat in the United States and more iconic residence will change hands on Friday as the Obama Administration and family officially bids farewell and the Trump administration and family begins their four years as America's First Family.
While much of the focus is on The President-Barack Obama-and President-Elect-Donald Trump-themselves, there is also some sharp focus on the families who each man are surrounded by. Michelle Obama earned as much respect as her husband did in the public eye over eight years, and there is some expectation on what Melania Trump will also accomplish in her role as First Lady when she also heads to Washington D.C. after her son Barron finishes the school year in New York. However, many are also wondering just what the first children will all mean to the country as well.
