President Obama of US took time to grant extra's correspondent Jerry Penacoli an interview. In the interview the president spoke on his critics, daughters, his final years in office and much more.
Obama On His Final Year In Office:
“A bunch of the furniture in this house, we bought… so there’s a bunch of furniture here that’s ours… sometimes people are surprised to hear we pay for all our groceries!” The President admitted he will miss 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “It’s a home inside this incredible, historical, monument, and we are extraordinarily privileged to be here.” The first thing they will do when they leave the White House? “I think it’s fair to say that it won’t be up to me, it will be up to Michelle.”
Obama On His Daughters:
“The truth is the girls are wonderful. They work hard, they work a lot harder than I ever did when I was a kid… most importantly, they’re kind, they’re respectful, they don’t have an attitude. The President credited Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, with helping provide a “normal” upbringing. “Partly maybe because my mother-in-law was here and we said we don’t want to see any attitude out of them, and they’ve been terrific. They do think that their dad is sometimes a little embarrassing.”
Obama On His Critics:
"I get ten letters a night out of the 40,000 letters and emails and messages that we get, some of them are just saying thank you for something, some of them are saying you're an idiot…” Jerry asked, “Do you answer the ones who call you an idiot? President Obama quickly answered, “I do!” Jerry asked, “Are they surprised?" President Obama responded, “I think sometimes they are… I will tell you the number of stories I've gotten like yours… it’s made a difference in a lot of people's lives.”
