POTUS says he and his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, are big believers in giving their daughters Malia, 16, and Sasha, 13, chores.

“As soon as they could understand words, you start giving them some assignments,” says the President. “Nap. Eat your peas, pick up the toys off the floor. By the time they’re 16, they turn out pretty good, although they don’t always give you as much time with them as you want.”

Every word out of his mouth is a lie, including "and" and "the."

When I was a lot younger than that I had chores that were far more involved/difficult.Trash to the garage.Trash from the garage to the street on trash day.Lawn mowing in the summer.Raking leaves in the fall.Shoveling snow in the winter.And that's in *addition* to picking up my toys,etc.

And if I grew up on a farm I'm sure I would have been baling hay and feeding chickens and shoveling something *in addition* to snow...if ya catch my drift.

I’m guessing the chores mean the girls get to boss around the help and tell the secret service detail how to pick up the dog crap.

A bit of advise to Malia, 16, and Sasha, 13, do not ever place yourselves at odds with your father. He would have no problem throwing you under the bus as quickly as anyone of his sock puppets.

And everyone ends up on food stamps (EBT Cards). Moose telling you what you can eat. I want control of their health care instead of the other way. Should they get late term abortion? Weigh in on opinions!

IIRC, he didn’t even spend Fathers Day with his beloved girls. I thought the Clintons were phony but the Obamas beat them hands down!
