Here’s one reason President Obama is looking forward to winning his reelection: the “men with guns” who will keep an eye out on the boys dating his daughters.
“I'm not anticipating complete mayhem for the next four or five years, but I understand teenagehood is complicated,” Obama said in an interview with “Good Morning America” before Malia’s 13th birthday next month. “I should also point out that I have men with guns that surround them often, and a great incentive for running for reelection is that it means they never get in the car with a boy who had a beer, and that's a pretty good thing.”
The pressure is on for such young men, too: Obama joked that he'd ask potential suitors of his daughters to sit down in the Oval Office so he could "ask him for his GPA, find out what his intentions are in terms of career."
Asked whether he has thought about having a son, Obama answered: “You know, you act as if this is a decision of mine. It really isn’t.”
“I think that Michelle’s general view is, we’re done,” he added.
