If you get tattoo, we will too: Obama threatens daughters

Washington: President Barack Obama has a strategy to discourage his daughters from rebelling, perhaps by getting a tattoo himself. Obama says he and his wife, Michelle, have told 14-year-old Malia and 11-year-old Sasha that if they ever decide to get a tattoo then “mommy and me” will get the same tattoo in the same place on their bodies and show it off on YouTube as a “family tattoo.” [caption id=“attachment_726619” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Barack Obama with his daughters Sasha and Malia, and wife Michelle.

Obama suggested the comment was a slip of the tongue. But he also acknowledged there have been times in his political career when she probably did feel like a single parent. Associated Press
