US President Barack Obama’s younger daughter Natasha ‘Sasha’ Obama was missing from her father’s farewell speech at the McCormick Place Convention Centre in Chicago.
At the closing of his speech, the whole Obama family, except Sasha, stood on stage holding their hands, waving to the crowd. Her absence definitely left everyone bewildered.
In his farewell speech, Obama thanked his daughters for their support.
Under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women. You are smart and you are beautiful. But more importantly, you are kind and you are thoughtful and you are full of passion. And you wore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily.
So, Where Was Sasha?
Sasha had to stay back in Washington, DC to appear for her exam on Wednesday morning, CBS news reported.
The 15-year-old is a student at Sidwell Friends School. Apparently, the school website had put up the exam schedule and clearly stated that travelling won’t be a valid reason for skipping exam!
See how Twitterati reacted when they found out the reason.
The Obamas will continue to reside in Washington until Sasha’s graduation.
