Barack & Michelle Obama attend their daughter Malia’s High School Graduation
President of the United States Barack Obama & his wife, Michelle attended and watched their eldest daughter, 17-year-old Malia Obama, graduate from Sidwell Friends School in Northwest Washington, D.C.
According to Washington Post, the president was earlier asked to speak at the commencement ceremony, but he politely declined the offer, hoping to just blend into the crowd and enjoy the ceremony. And that’s exactly what he did, taking a seat with the other family members of the private school graduates and watching the entire ceremony, before going on to hug her.
“He was just a total dad,” the mother of a graduating senior said of the president. “No fanfare. You didn’t know they were there.”
Malia was just one of 127 graduates. Like the other young women, dressed in a white dress.
The media was however not allowed to cover the event.
