Obama Has Ideas For Malia's First Car, Including A 'Boy Ejector'

While the President isn't too worried about aging himself ("Michelle still thinks I'm cute," he reassured NPR), he does have concerns about his daughters growing up too fast.

According to CNN, on Friday in a speech to members of the auto industry, Obama quipped:

"It's only a matter of time until Malia gets her learner's permit. So I'm hoping to see one of those models that gets a top speed of 15 miles an hour. The ejector seat any time boys are in the car. So, hopefully you guys have some of those in the pipeline."

Dads can be so humiliating.

It's not the first time Obama has voiced his anxiety over his daughters' teenage years, especially with Malia turning 13 a few weeks ago. The Dad-in-Chief told "Good Morning America" back in June, "A great incentive for running for reelection is that means they never get in a car with a boy who had a beer. And that's a pretty good thing."

When asked what might happen if a potential suitor came knocking, he previously told cameras, "I might invite him over to the Oval Office, ask him for his GPA, find out what his intentions are in terms of career," adding, "Malia and Sasha, if you're watching this, I'm just joking."

Just a dad being overprotective of his daughters...and seriously embarrassing them in the meantime. Sounds about right to us.

She should join the Army so why would she need a car.
Maybe this would get her father to end all the Military campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan, pakistan, yemen, libya and Somalia.

nburke78 Apparently you don't live in Michigan. You're wrong.

In reference to me stating that automotive parts are made in foreign countries and only assembled here.

I was born and raised in Michigan, 20min south of Detroit. I work for a trucking company who's biggest customers are Ford and GM. My specific department is International Logistics (ie Mexico to the U.S) all I do is ship car parts across the border. All the parts come from Mexico and its assembled here. Hence the name Assembly Plant, not We Made The Car From Scratch Plant.

i can only imagine the mothers of boys putting their sons through training exercises just to be eligible to date the obama girls...man, those are going to have to be some upstanding young men, that's for sure.

...the boy-ejector seat (an obscure reference to james bond's aston martin) won't be necessary: the backseat of malia's car is gonna get mighty crowded with secret service agents.

Malia is growing up so fast. Can't believe this is the same little girl he picked up when he won his first political office.

Cakey that's not the same girl. His youngest daughter Sasha the little girl he picked up.

Why did Paulo1 comment on this thread? 
       To prove that if Obama brought about world peace, he'd still have a gripe about him.

Ugh. How much eletricity would these bikes expend? We also have an energy crisis. Let the girl be and all drivers for that matter.

The boys who date the Obama girls are going to have to be something special -- no doubt about it. And boy, are those boys going to be lucky!

Great pic of a president, and maybe a future president?! Today makes me wish Hillary was pres. Can't help it, sorry. I love him, too - but he's losing the arguments, and the legislation. Hillary & Bill would not. Just what I think.

I agree.

Revisionist history...people felt the same way about Bill in '94.

He might be joking but I think he is deadly serious. It will tough to date those Obama girls.

I agree with the President. There really is no reason for his girls (even if they were boys) to be involved in relationships until they are out of college.

Dad to two young daughters, husband, and President of the US...he's got his hands full. I couldn't imagine being in his shoes. :)
