On the morning of that day, Barack Obama’s wife Michelle said she had spent time with their girls, Malia Obama and Sasha Obama, in Chicago.
“It was Malia’s first day of nursery school—I remember taking her photo, dropping her off for the very first time, and feeling those pangs of separation from my baby,” said Michelle.
