2. Barack explains the family dynamic on Kimmel's show, 2020

Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel in a virtual interview Barack was quizzed about being scared of his female family members and his response was epic.

"The reason is Sasha is a mini Michelle, and I'm afraid of Michelle," he said. "And Sasha, having seen that, basically has the same look, the same attitude."

His other daughter, Malia, follows in his footsteps, however.

"Malia is more like me temperamentally,” Barack revealed. "We call ourselves 'The Long Faces,' because [Malia's] face is more shaped like mine, and 'The Round Faces' are Michelle and Sasha," he explained.

"The Round Faces are a fiercer tribe. We're like the vegetarians, the gatherers, and they're the hunters. We try to keep the peace with them... I'm generally the brunt of jokes in my house."



I believe the main dynamic is their collective sense of humor about themselves.

What a cool family

Years ago we had FAUX SPEWS go nuts over the 'Terrorist Fist Bump':

So now I'm guessing we'll hear that they've put on masks to go out and terrorize the neighborhood...



God Bless Them! - They've earned the right to have non-stop fun from now until, well, forever!

Betty White broke barriers, defied expectations, served her country, and pushed us all to laugh. Barack and I join so many around the world who will miss the joy she brought to the world. I know our Bo is looking forward to seeing her up in heaven.





Hey, who is peeling those damn onions?

they are 'real ones'. Down to earth and not full of themselves. I wish everyone peace.

They worked hard and are still young enough to have fun but not take themselves seriously. I miss them and appreciate how they let us in on their love for each other.
