Obama does not hold the oil, weeps for this act of his daughter (Video)

“It was something like an open heart operation”, the former president said at the moment his daughter Malia enrolled at Harvard University.

I was proud that I didn't cry in front of her”, Obama said.

Obama described this moment at an event for the Beau Biden Foundation on Monday. This non-profit organisation was established in honor of the late son of his former vice president, Joe Biden.

At the end of our lives, whatever else we've achieved, the things we're going to remember are the joys our children will have and we hope that later our grandchildren will bring us”, Obama said.

Malia, 19, decided to attend Harvard after finishing high school.

Obama has often talked about the importance of fatherhood.

Of all the things I've done, I'm proud to be your father”, he told his girls in his farewell speech.

Obama's other daughter, Sasha, 16, is still in high school and lives with her parents at their new home in Washington, DC./Periscopi/
