Sasha Obama puffs on a cigarette and shows off VERY long talons as she steps out in LA
Sasha Obama steps out in Los Angeles sporting baggy denim overalls as she shows off her long chrome manicure and holds a lit cigarette.
The former first daughter, 21, graduated from the University of Southern California earlier this month and her parents, 44th President Barack and Michelle, were there to cheer her on.
Sasha started at the University of Michigan and later transferred to USC where she majored in Sociology.
Less than two weeks later, the 21-year-old graduate was spotted on a Starbucks run in LA on Tuesday.

On her left hand she wore three striking rings that appeared to be a mixture of gold and silver.
Her father, Barack, has previously spoken out about his own smoking habit and his struggle to quit.
In his 2020 memoir, A Promised Land, the former president admits that he sometimes smoked eight, nine, or ten cigarettes a day and looked for a “discreet location to smoke at night.”
And he credits his eldest daughter, Malia, for getting him to stop, writing that she gave him a “disapproving” look after “smelling a cigarette on my breath.”
He said he chewed nicotine gum “incessantly” to quit.
During his presidency, there was endless speculation as to whether or not Barack kicked his habit.
Barack started smoking as a teenager and he famously promised his wife, Michelle, that he would do it before campaigning for president.

“As an ex-smoker, I struggle with it all the time,” the then president admitted at a press conference in 2009.
‘Did I fall off the wagon? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No. I don’t do it in front of my kids. I don’t do it in front of my family. And you know, I’d say I’m 95 percent cured, but there are times when I screw up.”
In 2011, Michelle said during a White House interview that her husband had quit smoking, adding that she was very proud.
At that point, he had quit the habit for nearly a year.
Sasha’s older sister Malia, 24, has also been seen puffing a cigarette.
In April 2022, she was pictured smoking with Sasha’s 26-year-old boyfriend Clifton Powell Jr., son of Ray actor Clifton Powell.
The youngest daughter of the Obamas had followed in her big sister’s footsteps when she moved to the West Coast to attend USC after the pandemic.

Malia moved to Los Angeles to pursue a screenwriting career after graduating from Harvard University in 2021.
She scored a lucrative position working on Donald Glover’s upcoming Amazon show, Swarm, which is about a “Beyoncé-esque character.”
The Ivy League grad previously worked as an intern on Lena Dunham’s HBO series Girls in 2015 and The Weinstein Company in 2017.
She also served as a production assistant on Halle Berry’s CBS sci-fi drama series Extant before hitting the writers’ room.
Donald, who is also known by his stage name Childish Gambino, confirmed in March 2022 that he had given the former first daughter her first job writing for the series.
“She’s just an incredibly talented person,” he told Vanity Fair Malia. “She’s very focused and she works very hard.”
Meanwhile, Sasha recently completed her studies at USC – while her parents traveled to California to watch their daughter graduate from the prestigious school, where she studied sociology.

The former first couple was joined by their daughter Malia and their Secret Service agents as they cheered on their youngest child from their seats.
A few months ago, Michelle shared how her role as a parent has changed now that she’s in her 50s and her daughters are building a life for themselves in California.
“I’m going from Supreme Mother to Supreme Advisor,” she told Today co-anchor Hoda Kotb in the first episode of her podcast, The Light, which was taped during her last book tour.
“That’s a beautiful thing – to be able to watch my girls fly and have the relief of ‘Okay, I guess I didn’t mess them up.'”
The mother-of-two added that she is also aiming not to greet her daughters with a “critical eye” now that they are adults.
What Toni Morrison is saying is our kids just want our happiness. They don’t need us to fix them,” she explained. “They don’t need us to point out what’s wrong first.”
