President Obama reflected on the hardest moment of his life in a video released by the campaign, pointing to his daughter Sasha's illness when she was an infant.

"People ask me what was the hardest time in my life — they ask, well what about during the debt ceiling debate and this and that and the other thing," Obama said. "Sasha got meningitis when she was 3 months old. I still remember going to the hospital together and they had to give her a spinal tap."

"Your world narrows to this very small point," Obama said, about her illness.. "There's one thing you care about and you don't care about anything else."

Obama's remarks came during a dinner with six supporters at a Washington D.C. restaurant earlier this month

I imagine it’s pretty hard for Sasha to know her manchurian daddy is a *(&^*%$)ing illegal, lying purple lipped alien bent on distroying the country.

Oh, I dunno, If I was potus the hardest part of my ife would be comforting the parents and widos and children of young soldiers who died in a senseless war while I was negotiating secretly with the enemy to save my own political career

But then, maybe that’s just me

[liberalh8ter]

Exactly. Was her meningitis like his Father's WWII service?

[silverleaf]

Haven’t you noticed he always uses his kids for cover when he’s trying to make someone believe he cares about someone elses’ kids?

Okay, I'm starting to see a pattern here.

Over the past month or so, Obama has invoked his children repeatedly, clearly bringing them into the political conversation.

This guy doesn't do anything by accident. I just haven't figured out why he's doing it. Family values??

[sunny48]

That would be terrible. However, prove it. He’s such a liar you can’t believe what he says.

[Responsibility2nd]

Maybe, but it makes for GREAT political grandstanding.

“Sasha got meningitis when she was 3 months old. I still remember going to the hospital together and they had to give her a spinal tap.”

sniff.
I guess if he brings it up, we can talk about that, right?

So if she’s about 7, then he “still remembers” over 6 whole years ago going to the hospital when his daughter nearly died?Wow, that’s a really impressive memory.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-—Was this before or after his vote for infanticide?-—

We have a winner. (spit)

[Uncle Slayton]

Before we can believe this story to be true, we need to demand to see Shasha’s medical records to see if she really was in the hospital and if she really did have meningitis.

[beethovenfan]

Oh boo f’n hoo.

[dforest]

The hardest moment for Obozo was in the back of a limo with Larry Sinclair.

[That would be terrible. However, prove it. He’s such a liar you can’t believe what he says.]

Yep. My thought exactly. I want to see Sasha’s medical records.

Trust but verify.

[Amagi]

With all due respect Mr. President I suspect that the majority of 300+ million Americans would say that your America-hating policies have made the last few years more miserable for them then was necessary.

Quit whining, grow up, and get lost.

[calex59]

Once again using his kids for political gain. He is trying to gin up sympathy as a “concerned parent”. A victim to be pitied that his daughter was once sick, as if no one else ever had to sit through a child’s illness. What an a**hat.

[hummingbird]

“Too bad her daddy resumed caring about destroying the U.S.”

Too bad her daddy cared so little for new borns that he voted to allow them to die when an abortion failed.

[P-Marlowe]

He’s lying.

[chris37]

Don’t really give a **** about you or her, Barry.

[TomServo]

..and they had to give her a spinal tap.
