‪Happy #FathersDay @BarackObama. Our daughters may be older and taller now, but they’ll always be your little girls. We love you.‬

Barack i Michelle imaju dvije kćerke, 21-godišnju Maliu i 18- godišnju Sashu. Naime, Michelle je kazala da je preokret u njihovoj privatnosti dogodio u sekundi. 

– Bili smo normalni ljudi sve dok Barack nije održao govor na konvenciji i tada je sve krenulo kao raketa – rekla je dodajući: 

 -Osam godina smo živjeli kao: “Da, vaš tata je predsjednik. To nema nikakve veze s vama. Odlazite u školu. Da, imate zaštitare sa sobom, ali ignorirajte ih. Vaš je cilj doći do škole, vratiti se, imati solidne ocjene. Ne ponašati se nedolično i ne sramotiti nas.

As we prepare for #MothersDay on Sunday, I wanted to take a moment to shine a light on those women in our lives who may not be our mothers, but have nonetheless played an important role in nurturing us. I’ve been grateful to be surrounded by so many strong, intelligent, warm-hearted women who, along with my mother, have made me who I am. They include my soft-spoken grandmother LaVaughn, whose work managing a Bible book store showed me some of my first glimpses of a woman in charge. I sparred with my Aunt Robbie, who lived below us, during piano lessons—but her teaching showed me the importance of hard work and preparation, and she was always there for me when I needed her most. My mentor at Princeton, Czerny, saw potential in me and did her part to get me to step outside of my comfort zone—to be a little more bold, a little less cautious. And then there’s Eleanor Kaye Wilson, who we call “Mama Kaye.” She’s sweet-hearted and deep-rooted, a second mother or grandmother for all four of us—Malia, Sasha, Barack, and me. She’s been there to help with mealtime, craft time, been to all of our events over so many years—a wonderful friend and confidant to my mother. We love her, just like we love so many supportive women whose stories and contributions often go unrecognized, but who deserve just as much appreciation and love this time of year. So if there’s a Mama Kaye or a Czerny, a Grandma LaVaughn or an Aunt Robbie in your life, make sure to show them some love this weekend, too.

Ipak, djetinjstvo njihovih djevojčica bilo je drugačije od onog kakvo su imali njihovi vršnjaci.  

– One su stalno uz sebe imale zaštitare. Zamislite da se pokušate prvi put poljubiti dok oko vas stoje muškarci s pištoljima i slušačicama u ušima. Zamislite situaciju kad su Malia i Sasha otišle kod svojih prijateljica, a poziv njihovim roditeljima bi glasio ovako: “Ok, trebat ćemo vaš broj osiguranja i datum rođenja. Doći će i nekoliko muškaraca pretražiti kuću. Ako imate pištolje ili drogu, slobodno im recite jer će ih oni svejedno pronaći. Neće ništa uzeti, samo trebaju znati gdje stoji. I da, jedan će muškarac s pištoljem cijelu noć sjediti na vašem kućnom pragu. Dajte mu da koristi toalet, bilo bi lijepo od vas”. Znate, iznenađena sam da moje djevojke uopće imaju prijatelje – otkrila je Michelle.
