Apparently being unwelcome in foreign countries may run in the Bush family. Not only is George W. Bush being begged to leave Iraq (along with the military), but now apparently his daughters are being asked to leave Argentina by the US embassy in Buenos Aires.

Amid a growing barrage of front-page headlines, U.S. embassy officials "strongly suggested" President Bush's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara Bush, cut short their trip to Buenos Aires because of security issues, U.S. diplomatic and security sources tell ABC News.

But the girls have stayed on, celebrating their 25th birthday over the weekend and producing even more headlines about their activities.

Officials say the media coverage upstaged publicity plans for the new U.S. Ambassador Anthony Wayne, who had only recently arrived in the country.

So it's a matter of the new ambassador not feeling like he's getting enough of the spotlight? Maybe, or maybe the daughters are acting like, well young Bush family members do, and are generating too much negative publicity for the US.

Stories of the twins' visit took on wild proportions in the Argentinean press. One tabloid headline had the young women running nude in the hallway of their hotel, a report the hotel staff denied to ABC News.

According to sources, the U.S. embassy encouraged the two girls to cut their stay short because the added attention was making their security very difficult.

But to the dismay and anger of some U.S. embassy and security staff, the girls stayed on.

Nevertheless, they are obviously resolute in their decision to stay no matter what the negative effects may be for them or their country. Sound familiar?

Didn't Bush just buy some ridiculous amount of property in Argentina?

I think it would be easier to list the countries he's in good with... *crickets chirping*...

Wow, they're just figuring out his daughters are setting a bad example for the country?

What's that saying about apples not falling far from the tree...
