President Barack Obama told ABC News' Barbara Walters that he ran for re-election because he wanted "men with guns" around as his daughters, Malia (14) and Sasha (11), begin dating boys.
The interview was the first that the President and First Lady have given since Obama's re-election in November. It aired on Nightline on December 26.
In its published highlights, ABC News has drawn attention to the Obamas' comments about keeping the romance alive in their marriage, yet those remarks were followed by this exchange:
(VIDEO AT LINK)
Walters: I want to talk about the girls. we have been watching them grow up from little girls to young ladies. now, Malia recently got her first cell phone. do you want to see who she calls and who she texts?
Michelle Obama: I give my daughter at this age -- I give her a long rope. and there is monitoring because we have rules. But monitoring may be -- you never know when I'm going to walk in your room and i'm going to definitely ask you, who are you talking to and are you talking about school work? But...
Barack Obama: And they're not very good at lying. We joke sometimes about how Malia's getting to the age now, and boys start calling and, you know, sort of, I always talk about how one of the main incentives for running again was continuing Secret Service protection to have men with guns around at all times...

Will the Obama girls go on to become Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky or Amy Carter Wentzel?
Stay tuned for as the progressive spawn matures....
IT IS ALL ABOUT HIM and NOT AMERICA!!
We knew that in 08!
Hell, he could've saved himself some trouble and had that just by sending them to publik skool in Shitcago.
MAKE IT STOP!! MAKE IT STOOOPPPP!!!!!!!
Well put!
Well Hell1 He could have stayed in Chicago and had all sorts of men with guns around his daughters, ALL SORTS of men! Why did he have to punish us if this was his reason for running, someone please tell him he can resign now, move home and have his wish come true.
He doesn’t need men with gun around to keep boys away from his daughters. Just tie a picture of Big butt Momma around their necks, that would scare off a Gorilla.
Vet, you forgot to add satire.
Hating to defend him, but having had my own teenage daughter, I know the feeling of wanting her well protected. I’d ignore his comment as a fatherly joke.
At this point he is blatantly mocking us real americans.....
Why must he have protection for his kids, yet, why can’t my mother have her own protection and/or me protecting her the same way? I understand his kids are important to him but my mother is important to me and I’m sure all of your kids and parents are just as important to you. I hate the smell of elitism. Let’s face it, we are just pee-ons in their minds and eyes.
Barack Obama: And they’re not very good at lying.
So much for a career in politics!
At this point he’s telling US he’s heard about this
