‘Because it’s a job of fathers to embarrass their daughters, I’ve got
one last job,’ Obama joked as the audience began to applaud.
‘It just so happens we celebrate our country’s birthday on the same day
as my oldest daughter’s birthday, so just a quick Happy Birthday for
Malia,’ Obama added before breaking into song.
