Barack Obama is one lucky fellow and that’s not just because he is the former President of the United States, but also because he gets to go home to three of the coolest ladies of the land: his wife Michelle Obama and their two daughters, 22-year-old Malia and 19-year-old Sasha. The former POTUS opened up about his private family life in his new memoir, A Promised Land. Here’s what he has to say.
“I think people know Michelle well enough to know how amazing she can be as a public speaker,” he says of his wife. “They probably are less aware of what it’s like to work out with Michelle when she’s really in her groove. And sometimes that includes her boxing. You don’t want to get in the way when she’s working on a bag — including some kicks. There’s force there.”
Barack Obama Says Daughter Malia Has ‘Bad A** Qualities’ While Sasha Is Never Intimidated
Obama also went on to praise Malia and Sasha in a new excerpt from his upcoming book. He says that his daughter Malia is just as buoyant as her mother.
“She’s somebody who enjoys people, enjoys life, and enjoys conversation,” he says. “She’s never bored, which is a bada** quality that can take you places.”
Speaking about Sasha, Obama wrote that she’s “completely confident about her own take on the world and is not cowed or intimidated — and never has been — by anybody’s titles, anybody’s credentials.”
“If she thinks something’s wrong or right, she will say so. When she was 4, 5, 6 years old, once she made a decision, she would dig in and couldn’t be steered off it,” the A Promised Land author says. “I write about it in the book, how we were trying to get her to taste caviar when we were visiting Russia. She was like, ‘Mnn-nnh. No. Sorry. That looks slimy. It’s nasty. I’m not going to do it — even if I’ve got to give up dessert.’ And that part of her character has always been there.”
