WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama's daughters might be growing up in White House, but that does not mean they have to miss out on a rite of passage for American girls -- a babysitting job. Obama, who has the headache of stewarding the slowly mending US economy, said in a television interview that he was also teaching his daughters Malia, 12, and Sasha, nine, about savings, interest and money management. "What I'm doing now with Malia and Sasha is they're getting an allowance," Obama told ABC's "Good Morning America."
