Sasha Obama shops alone at Trader Joe's

Barack Obama's kids are just like us: they go to the grocery store alone to stock up on food...which is exactly what Sasha Obama was doing this week.

The ex-first daughter -- who is now 22 -- was spotted in WeHo on Friday making a quick visit to the supermarket at a Trader Joe's there...and as you can see, she would venture out solo during the food run, with no bodyguard in sight (more on that later).

Sasha wore headphones and wore a pretty relaxed fit – crop top etc. No one seemed to recognize her, and no one bothered her either. She was just doing her thing.

That might not seem fascinating at first glance: after all, we know that Sasha has been living here in LA for a little while now...because she's often seen commuting to town, especially in Hollywood.

CONTEXT

Ditto for his sister, Malia... who also now lives in Los Angeles and works as a professional screenwriter. The two Obama girls usually ride alone – without any SS protection.

If you're wondering why this might be the case – knowing that their mother and father are still surrounded by government-sanctioned bodyguards, and will be for the rest of their lives – the answer lies in the politics of the secret Service. ...which says children are excluded after 16.
