Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama scores another national magazine cover — this time with his family. Obama and his wife Michelle allowed People magazine to take a rare glimpse into their family life at his Chicago home.
- Some highlights:
– The girls have rules to follow, such as making their beds, setting their own alarm clocks, keeping the playroom toy closet clean and lights out at 8:30.
-They get a $1 per week allowance from Dad for doing their chores, like setting and clearing the dinner table.
-They receive no birthday or Christmas presents from Mom and Dad, who spend “hundreds” on birthday slumber parties and, as Barack puts it, “want to teach some limits.” Says Michelle: “Malia says, ‘I know there is a Santa because there’s no way you’d buy me all that stuff.'” (Source)
According to People, the interview with Obama and his family this Summer was conducted before the controversial interview with Access Hollywood aired.
The magazine hits stands tomorrow (7/25).
