President Barack Obama said Thursday that he will stay in Washington, D.C. with his family for a couple of years after his presidency, waiting for his youngest daughter to finish high school.
“We’re going to have to stay a couple of years so Sasha can finish,” he said, the Washington Post reported. “Transferring someone in the middle of high school—tough.”
Obama made the comment while having lunch with a small group of people who had written him letters about the Affordable Care Act in Milwaukee. He said he and First Lady Michelle Obama haven’t decided where they’ll move long-term.
“Hawaii is home for me,” he said, and he also mentioned Chicago, where his wife grew up. “I spent almost 30 years in Chicago.”
