How Hilary Clinton Really Feels About Former First Daughters Sasha And Malia Obama

While on the campaign trail in North Carolina in 2016, Hilary Clinton shared her feelings about Sasha and Malia Obama and how Barack and Michelle Obama had raised them, saying, “You know my husband and I know a little bit about how hard it is to raise a child in the public eye, in the fishbowl of the White House … But the Obamas have done a fabulous job,” per HuffPost.

She went on to say that of all the Obamas have done, “those two young women may be the most impressive accomplishment of all.” At the time of these remarks, Malia, the eldest of the two Obama daughters, was headed to her first year at Harvard, while her younger sister, Sasha, was performing well in high school. At the time, Barack appeared to suggest that his daughters returned Clinton’s admiration and hoped she would become president, saying both girls “think it’s weird” that there had yet to be a female president (via CNN). 

Now, however, we imagine Hilary would only be more proud of Sasha and Malia — in the time that has elapsed since both young women have had significant accomplishments.
