Obama shared how he felt when he left his daughter off in college during a reception for the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children in Delaware, “For those of us who have daughters, it just happens fast.” He added that it felt “like open-heart surgery,” and even though he “was proud that he did not cry in front of her,” he said, “The Secret Service was off, looking straight ahead, pretending they weren’t hearing me as I sniffled and blew my nose. It was rough.” He also shared on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, “Michelle, she had like a cleaning glove, one of those yellow ones, she’s scouring the bathroom. Sasha … was helping make the bed and fold clothes … and I was basically useless.”

One is, Michelle, she’s such a great example of how she carries herself, her self-esteem not depending on boys to validate how you look or not letting yourself be judged by anything other than your character and intelligence.” He further added, jokingly that “because they have Secret Service, there’s only so much these guys can do.”

Let’s see the #democrats and media scream about ‘privilege’ here.” Jenna Bush Hager also came to aid Malia by stating, “Please don’t click on silly stories and let’s give Malia privacy.” Refinery 29 said how Malia “great taste in wine, but bad taste in friends.”
