President Barack Obama had a big pat on the back for his young daughters on Tuesday，saying

they have taken swimmingly to life in the White House．

After more than a year at the US presidential mansion，Malia Obama，11，and Sasha Obama，

8，have made their dad proud with their ability to balance their private life with life in the public

eye，he told NBC television．

“The happiest thing about the past year and a half has been the girls’ adjustment．They have just been terrific．They’re doing well in school，”Obama said．

“They’re not as constrained．They can wander around．Their Secret Service protection is a lot

more low key，”he explained．“So they’ve got soccer，they’ve got basketball，they go sleep over at their friend’s houses．”

“Sometimes I’ve got 12 little girls screaming on the third floor of the White House．And they

made a great adjustment．”

The president also admitted he was concerned about how his daughters would cope with his

public life as they get a bit older．

“Now I get a little worried about them when they’re teenagers because I think that’s the time

when you’re already embarrassed about your parents，and then imagine if your dad’s in the

newspaper every day and people are calling him an idiot．I feel a little worried about that．”

““But on the other hand，Malia and Sasha have just turned out to be unbelievably well adjusted

kids，”Obama said．

“The thing that’s most important to me is that they are so respectful of everybody and haven’t put on any airs．I attribute that directly to Michelle because she wouldn’t put up with any of that stuff．”
