Empty nest syndrome has Barack Obama in tears

[Surya Gayatri]

US President Barack Obama has a lot on his plate, but one item is causing him considerable stress: his impending empty nest syndrome.

Sixteen-year-old daughter Malia hasn't even finished high school, but Obama says the thought of her heading off to college has him crying. Several times a day, in fact.



"I start tearing up in the middle of the day and I can't explain it, why am I so sad? They're leaving me," he told a laughing crowd at a prayer breakfast Tuesday, injecting a fake quiver into his voice.

2. Agree, she has more chiseled features. When she takes on

some 'adult presence', she'll be stunning.

4. Aww, so sweet

yet she will carry her mom and dad's voices with her.

I know they instilled confidence in her.
