In reply to the discussion: Sasha Obama's Friendly Reminder To Her Father On Election Night [View all]Left Brain
(955 posts)26. There was another moment like this,
It happened after the speech, and as everyone was leaving the stage. PBO had lagged behind, waving to the crowd, but Malia stopped and waited for him at the end of the stage. He met up with her, and she asked him something. I saw him answer, "We'll see," and then he walked back onto the stage for one final wave.
Ever the father.
Would be fun to speculate what she asked him.

I saw that when it happened. She is a very nice young lady to watch out for others like that!
