Obama Daughters Wanted Jonas Brothers, Not Dad, Onstage At DNC

While his opponent may be trying to brand him as a celebrity, Barack Obama isn't the biggest star in his own daughters' eyes.

When Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, took the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Monday night after their mom Michelle's speech, they had no idea their dad was going to be beamed in live via satellite. When Mrs. Obama told the girls she had a surprise for them, the potential first lady was pretty surprised at the response.

LOL.. Is it the Jonas Brothers? It would totally suck if the are republicans.

[DebofMD]

That is too cute. I'm sure they'll get to meet them soon once this story gets around. :0)

Obama needs to introduce those girls to the Beatles before it's too late.

[Strywever]

They'll get the Beatles when they're older. ;-)

You're never too young to start listening to the Beatles.

My 7 and 9 year olds love the Beatles! But, they love the Jonas Brothers too. And that's ok. I may be a music snob in certain regards but I will NOT force that snobbery on my kids. Being a kid should be fun and liking what you like is all part of it.
