The Obama family has changed a lot over the last eight years, but one thing that hasn’t changed is their love for each other. Even while managing to run the country and achieve landmark legislation, President Obama always made time for his family, and especially his daughters Sasha and Malia. As they grew up in the White House, their dad was always by their side, helping them out and cheering them on in everything they did. These 11 adorable father-daughter moments between Obama and his daughters show that even though he was Commander-In-Chief, his most important job was always being a dad.
