Barack Obama gets emotional as he makes a rare confession about raising his two daughters
A very rare revelation has been made by former President Barack Obama regarding the upbringing of his two girls. He has admitted that he is aware that their upbringing would be substantially different if they were white guys.
In an interview with the podcast Pod Save America, which was broadcast exclusively on the Progress channel of SiriusXM radio, Barack Obama shared with listeners his hope that people will have the impression that “as they travel through the globe, they are not having to put up with nonsense.”
“As someone who has two black daughters, I want them to feel that as they move through the world that they are not having to put up with nonsense,” he told the hosts Dan Pfieffer, Jon Lovett, Tommy Vietor, and Jon Favreau.
“As someone who has two black daughters, I want them to feel that as they move through the world that they are not having to put up with nonsense, [like] if I had a white son – which biologically might be

The politician and his wife, Michelle, are the proud parents of Malia, who is 24 years old, and Sasha, who is 21 years old. Both of their children are now adults, and they are happy and well.
After transferring from the University of Michigan, Sasha is now a student at the University of Southern California (USC), while Malia is employed in the television industry. The two of them live together in Los Angeles.
