The Obamas are temporary empty nesters while Malia and Sasha are at a summer camp.

MANSFIELD, Ohio – President Obama took a break from campaigning in central Ohio today to pick out some “premium chocolate” for his wife and for his daughters, who are away at summer camp.

“Malia and Sasha left me for the summer,” Obama told cashier Lia Brunetti, 19, inside the Squirrel’s Den sweets shop on North Main Street in Mansfield.

“They’re off at camp, and I don’t want them to forget me. So I was thinking about putting a little care package together,” he said. “What do you think?”

Obama perused the specialty candies, popcorn and gourmet nuts and tasted some of the homemade fudge.

They are very pretty girls and -- like all kids -- they have grown over the years.
