Sasha Obama, the youngest daughter of President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, missed her dad’s farewell speech in Chicago because she has an exam at school in the morning, according to a White House official.
Social media was abuzz Tuesday over Sasha’s absence when President Obama gave a tearful tribute to his daughters and wife.
“Malia and Sasha, under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women. You are smart, and you are beautiful, but more importantly, you are kind, and you are thoughtful, and you are full of passion,” Obama said. “And you wore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily. Of all that I have done in my life, I am most proud to be your dad.”
Malia Obama, who is taking a gap year before attending college, was at the event.
