(Daily Mail Online). It is a mistake that will get any father in the dog house with his daughter – even if he is the President. In a news conference on Wednesday, President Barack Obama twice referred to his oldest daughter, Malia, as being 13 years old, even though she is just 12. And while it is unlikely to be the worst error of judgement he commits during his time in the White House, it may well be the one he gets the most grief about at home. Given the speed with which Malia has grown of late, perhaps his mistake is not particularly surprising. Her birthday is also rapidly approaching – Malia turns 13 on July 4 – so the President may just have been thinking ahead.
Another possibility is that President Obama has simply lost touch since his daughters have
been touring Africa with their mother. Michelle, Malia and Sasha arrived in Botswana early on Friday. Spending several days in South Africa to play for real money and to promote health, education and youth leadership during their week-long goodwill visit to Africa. Obama spoke about both of his daughters at the conference, while slating congressional Republicans as procrastinators who only get work done at the last minute.
The president is prodding Republicans to reach a deal on raising the national debt limit before the government taps out its borrowing ability on the expected date of August 2. But in a joke that now appears truly to have backfired, he said: ‘You know, Malia and Sasha generally finish their homework a day ahead of time. Malia’s 13, Sasha’s 10
I think Obama just confused our thirteen trillion dollar debt with his daughter’s age. He is after all…. the smartest president evah!
