'Dad-in-chief' Obama takes daughters for time out in the Big Apple

Obama walks out with his daughter Sasha from the White House in Washington before their departure to New York to meet up with daughter Malia.

WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama will carve out some time this weekend for two people he has described as "magnificent" but who, he says, find him boring: his teenage daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Upping his game as dad-in-chief, Obama will hang out with his daughters in New York City on Friday night and Saturday, a rare diversion from his weekend schedules, which usually involve work and golf.
