WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama says he's not worried about his daughters starting to date. After all, he's got some help keeping an eye on them.
Malia, age 15, and Sasha, age 12, are "very sensible," Obama told comedian and talk show host Steve Harvey in a television interview that aired on Friday.
"And the second thing is, I've got men with guns following them around all the time," Obama quipped, referring to the Secret Service detail that is a constant presence around his family.
"This is the main reason I ran for re-election," he joked in the light-hearted interview taped at the White House. "You know I'm going to have them covered for most of high school." Obama and his family left for a two-week holiday in Hawaii on Friday.

Johnson's daughter married a Marine from the White House Detachment, and Ford's daughtert married her Secret Service agent. Sometimes the young women are attracted to the guys with guns that are following them around.

I care if he stops the spying and if he stops pushing the TPP.
Not into the cult of personality.

I've long disliked the "guard yer daughters" shtick. Not just from Obama, from our culture as a whole.
