of rules to abide by, but they feel that it
keeps their children, “grounded”
“They are not little princesses. It’s just basic
rules, boundaries and expectations that we normally have.”
An example of some of the rules are: no Christmas or birthday presents from Michelle or Barack, they each must play two sports only one of the sports they can choose themselves, no junk food, writing essays about where they travel too and they are not allowed to quit sports

family
In an 08’ interview Barack said, “If I ever thought that this was ruining my family, I wouldn’t do it.”
Barack has instilled these rules and values into his family partly due to the way that he was raised, he wants to be there for his wife and children and let them know that they always come first

makes him a good leader because he wants to help families in America, by giving them more paid sick days, family leaves, higher taxes for the upper class, a new proposal for child care for lower-middle class families so that their children get a better start in life. He wants everyone to be able to have a chance in life by obtaining a good education, and he realizes that this begins with early childhood education. Barack and Michelle did not come from wealthy families, it was hard work and dedication that got them where they are today. They both understand how hard it is for families to raise children in this economy ,and they not only want to be good role models for their children but for American families as well
