I mean, Barack was president of the United States. And I could have felt sorry for my girls, right? It's like, oh my God, look what we did to you. And And I sort of went the opposite direction.

It's like, this isn't about you. We just happen to live in this house. It's your father's job. Every father has a job, you know. So just get on with it. Yep, you got Secret Service.
