First Father

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/sasha-obamas-high-school-classes-will-keep-first-family-in-washington-for-a-while/2016/03/03/39afd704-e181-11e5-9c36-e1902f6b6571_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_obamadc-325pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

Someone at the table then asked where he and the first lady would live after he was done with the presidency, as boom microphones hovered overhead and reporters stood about 15 feet away.

“We haven’t figured that out yet,” he said. “We’re going to have to stay a couple of years so Sasha can finish” school, he said. “Transferring someone in the middle of high school — tough.”


I suspect they would love to see D.C. in a rear-view mirror, but Sasha comes first.

It's really going to be tough to see them go.

They have been inspirations to so many, both here and abroad!

The Bush twins came across as such brats that it was a breath of fresh air to see this family come in with wholesome, well-mannered girls. I hope both of them are able to stay out of the limelight while they finish their education...it has to be tough to grow up in a fishbowl.

I know I will cry when PBO leaves no matter who comes next.
