The Obama daughters are headed to Sidwell Friends School once they arrive in Washington. (This is Chelsea Clinton’s alma mater. If they end up at Stanford for college, they are totes copycats.)

But anyways, the Obama family had narrowed down their school selection to the Maret School and Sidwell Friends School before deciding on the latter. So when Sidwell Friends found themselves behind in a boy’s basketball game this weekend, where did the crowd turn in hopes of getting the win? To an “Obama” chant, of course.

“The Sidwell kids started yelling ‘O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!’ at us,” a Maret parent who attended the game tells me.

So while Malia and Sasha aren’t even enrolled there yet, they’re already cheerleaders. And what the Sidwell fans were telling Maret with their “O-ba-ma!” chant was: “Even if you whup us at hoops, we still beat you in a bigger game!”

The Maret parent says Maret’s administrators looked confused, and Sidwell’s bemused, as “O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!” rained down from the grandstand.

Maret’s side eventually responded by yelling “Oatmeal sucks!” — a play on Sidwell’s nickname, the Quakers.

To add insult to insult: Perhaps inspired by the clever nastiness of the home fans, Sidwell came back and beat Maret by a point, 47-46.

Well, I just figured out what I’m going to yell every time the White Sox are down at the Cell this season and I’m at a game. Thanks rich, upper-class Washingtonians!
