Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are the proud parents of two powerful young women, Malia and Sasha Obama. At a recent fundraiser for President Joe Biden, the former president was asked if he thought his daughters would ever follow in his footsteps and enter politics.
Barack Obama revealed that Michelle Obama had instilled in their daughters from a young age that going into politics would be a crazy decision. “It will never happen,” the 62-year-old dad of two said. President Biden also chimed in, praising the Obama sisters as powerful young women and mentioning that his own grandchildren are close friends with them.
Malia Obama, the eldest of the two siblings, is currently pursuing a career in screenwriting and directing. The 25-year-old recently made her red carpet debut at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where she presented her short film, “The Heart.” Meanwhile, Sasha Obama graduated from the University of Southern California in May 2023 and celebrated her 23rd birthday just a week ago. Proud mom Michelle Obama marked the occasion with a special birthday tribute on Instagram.
As Father’s Day approaches, Barack Obama shared a family snapshot on Instagram, expressing how fulfilling it is to be the father of Sasha and Malia. The former president’s love and pride for his daughters shine through in his social media posts, showcasing the strong bond within the Obama family.
