Obama on daughters' dating: Guys will need guts

November 07, 2012 22:14

Dating will be a sensitive issue that re-elected US President Barack Obama will have to deal with as his young daughters stay on at the White House for four more years, with the possessive father saying he will give a patient hearing to any boy who has the "guts" to get through the Secret Service.

Obama today registered a historic win against his Republican opponent Mitt Romney to retain his presidency for four more years. Like any doting father, Obama said he is proud of his daughters Malia, 14 and Sasha, 11, who are quickly growing up into young, confident girls and soon he too will have to deal with their teenage years when young boys will be keen to date them.
