Barack Obama's Daughters on His Presidential Run: "Boring!"

Barack Obama has confessed to Usmagazine.com that his daughters, Malia, 9, and Sasha, 6, are obsessed with Miley Cyrus and Beyonce.

But when it comes to his presidential campaign... well, not so much.

"When I call them, they say, 'Daddy, what did you do today?' I say, 'Well, I spoke to 35,000 people,'" Obama told Rachael Ray in an interview that aired Tuesday.

"It's like, 'Boring!'" he added. "It's not interesting."

The Democratic presidential hopeful – who is Just Like Us — called campaigning "thrilling except I'm not seeing my wife and kids enough." (They usually see each other once a week.)

Wife Michelle — who recently wrote a letter of support for her husband in Us Weekly — said she still can't get over seeing her husband's face on campaign memorabilia.

"It's sort of like, 'Look, it's Dad!'" Michelle told Ray. "'Is that Dad on a shirt? Is that Dad on a stick?'

"It's just Barack," she added. "What's he doing on a shirt?"
