The Obamas on Rachael Ray
WASHINGTON (AP) - April 29, 2008 "When I call them and they say, 'Daddy, what did you do today?'
I said, 'Well, I spoke to 35,000 people.' It's like 'Boring.' It's
not interesting," Obama told Rachael Ray in an interview broadcast
Tuesday on her daytime talk show.
Obama and his wife, Michelle, spoke to the celebrity chef about
trying to make time for family and each other during a protracted
race for his party's nomination. They have two daughters, Malia, 9,
and Sasha, 6.
"It's thrilling except I'm not seeing my wife and kids
enough," Obama said.
The Obamas try to see each other once a week, Michelle Obama
said. She said if her husband is home for a block of time, they
will have a family night, game night and a date night together.
Recently, the couple ate at one of their favorite restaurants.
"It's like dinner or a movie because I can't stay awake," she
said.
Michelle Obama said it makes her laugh to see her husband's face
on campaign memorabilia.
"It's sort of like, 'Look. It's Dad,"' she said. "Is that Dad
on a shirt? Is that Dad on a stick? It's just Barack. What's he
doing on a shirt?"
