President Barack Obama said his daughters see no reason why they couldn't follow in their father's footsteps one day and think it's strange there hasn't been a female president yet.
During a talk about women at a White House-sponsored forum, Obama said today's generation doesn't see gender as a restriction.
He specifically said daughters Sasha and Malia feel being female doesn't prevent them from achieving any goal or holding any office.
'They think it's weird we haven't already had a woman president,' Obama said. 'They expect the world to catch up to them. And I have no doubt that we will.' Obama was unflinching when he said he is a supporter of women's rights.(snip)
'I may be a little grayer than I was eight years ago, but this is what a feminist looks like,' he said.
Obama's speech at the summit was littered with references to Clinton, CNN pointed out, as he noted that more women in corner suites the Oval Office included are needed.
He said while he remains in office he will continue to work toward pro-women policies.
'They keep waiting for this whole lame duck thing to happen. Let me tell you, it will happen as soon as I have elected a really good successor to carry on our policies,' he said. 'Until then, we're working pretty hard.'
Obama said our culture needs to be challenged when it 'punishes women for their sexuality but gives men a pat of the back for theirs'.
He gave an example, saying fathers shouldn't be given a pat on the back for 'changing a diaper'.
The president then said first lady Michelle Obama has to worry about her public perception as a woman and worries if she's 'acting the right way, or looking the right way, or too assertive, or too angry'.

If they don´t understand why or it hasn´t been explained to them, they are not getting a good education. It sounds fabricated just to promote another reason why Hilary should be elected.
Oh, well, that clinches it. We have to elect Hillary now because of what Obama’s daughters think.
the daughters are weird
with parents like that how could they be normal ?
it will be interesting to see how their lives evolve .
take a look at Chelsea C ; what a piece of work
we don’t have a woman president because a male named barrack obama stole it away
Yeah, well, they’re not the brightest stars in the sky.
Sounds like a typical fabricated lie by a son of the father of lies.
Looking at her dad how would she know that there is an actual difference between men and women (and her mom for that matter).
Actually his daughters said that during Obama’s speeches, he sounds like a weird woman...but socialists hear only what they want to hear ;)
Oh you're feminine alright when you and Reggie play catch and he's pitching.
Run a qualified woman, and they will get elected.
Wonder why they threw that "r" in there.....
1) He's more female than Hillary is (seen him in "mom jeans"?).
2) He's black (sort of)
3) He's disabled (well, certainly mentally disabled....)
"Wish mine was this big!"
Nothing wrong with a woman doing anything - including president of the USA.
But there is a problem with a lying, criminal, America-hating, traitor being president. That could be a man like 0bama or a woman like crooked Hillary.
I dunno. Obama sort of qualifies as a female.
“take a look at Chelsea C ; what a piece of work”
Smoking hot!!!
I thought gender was just a fluid construct.
If Obama wants to “fix” the “problem” of the lack of a woman president, he just needs to self-identify as a woman for a couple days.
I think THEY’RE weird. SNARLY and UNGRATEFUL girls.
