Obamas arrive for Sasha's USC graduation (pictures in article from TMZ)

And, Barack and Michelle are looking like all the other proud parents -- strolling around campus with huge smiles on their faces -- except, of course, they've got Secret Service agents in tow.

Sasha's older sister Malia Obama was on hand, too.

And gosh, those young ladies are gorgeous. They have it all, a loving family, great smarts and stunning good looks. And apparently, very nice and kind. Damn, Michelle and Barack are good parents.

I remember thinking Malia would be a famous beauty and Sasha would be the cute one.

Well, they both turned out beautiful and accomplished. And decent Americans across the country are proud of them both.

if she wants to be some kind of counselor. But it's a great foundation for other things, including education, law or medicine.

We all saw those girls grow up.

She actually graduated last August, but waited to do the ceremony with me... since we both returned to Cal last year, and I am also graduating tomorrow at 68!

And my 20-year-old daughter is graduating from UC Irvine in June in Psychology (Psychological Sciences), like Sasha Obama. (She's adopted, so I didn't actually give birth at 48... although I did give birth to my middle child at 44.... so went from teen mom to geezer mom!) And my UCI daughter is starting her doctorate in occupational therapy in the fall at... USC!

I am thinking of the words in the song,Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof.

Sunrise, Sunset. Sunrise, Sunset.
Swiftly go the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears.
