Obama: Sasha has say in 2016 move
After leaving the White House in 2016, President Obama’s future in Washington could depend largely on what his youngest daughter has to say.
During an interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters on Friday, Michelle and Barack Obama said that Sasha, now 12 years old, will “have a big vote” on whether they stick around after the Obama presidency ends.

The president said his family has “made a lot of sacrifices on behalf of my cockamamie ideas, the running for office and things,” but won’t say for sure about a decision to leave.
If the Obamas made a residence in Washington after holding presidential office, they would be the first to do so since President Woodrow Wilson, according to ABC News.
