The Obamas’ Pride

While neither Barack nor Michelle Obama has commented publicly on today’s confirmation, their admiration for their daughters has always been evident. The former president once said, “They are kind, they are thoughtful, they are fierce. And they’re not impressed by anything I’ve done.”

Behind that lighthearted comment lies genuine respect for their daughters’ individuality — something Malia continues to embody.

Those close to the family say the Obamas are proud, supportive, and protective. They’ve always emphasized that both daughters — Malia and Sasha — should define success on their own terms, free from political or public pressure.
