President Obama Gets Emotional Talking About Daughter Going To College Next Year
A Win Is Still A Win: President’s Iran Nuclear Deal Moves Forward
President Obama get emotional when talking about oldest daughter, Malia.
They grow up so fast... President Obama got emotional about Malia Obama heading to college next year while visiting a college in Michigan.
“Just yesterday, Malia started her first day of senior year. You know, I was sitting in her room because I was going to see her off her first day of school. She puts her head on my shoulder and she says, ‘Daddy, you know, you realize this is probably going to be the last time that you ever send me off for my first day of school.”
He said that him and the First Lady aren’t exactly ready for this transition.
“And I started – I had to look away. I didn’t want to just be such a crybaby. It makes no sense. Michelle and I are way too young to have daughters who are both almost in college now. So as a parent, I was a little freaked out.”
Malia hasn’t decided on a school yet but she has been touring colleges all over the

Media types and lawmak- ers are saying President Barack Obama is winning ugly.
Despite hostile GOP ma- jorities and balky Demo- cratic progressives dogging him on some issues, The President is using the pow- ers of his office to finally get stuff done on Capitol Hill.
While Republicans rolled to big Election Day wins last November, The President has emerged on top since then in bruising showdowns over trade, Iran, Attorney General Loretta Lynch's nomination, Patriot Act reauthorization, immigra- tion and funding for the De- partment of Homeland Security.
But unlike victories that were won when Democrats controlled one or both cham- bers of Congress, the White House has eked out wins in 2015 with Republicans in charge of Capitol Hill.
President Obama did this by alternately engaging with lawmakers more than at any other point in his presi- dency or by aggressively at- tacking Republicans — with Democratic backing — when they opposed his plans.
This flexible strategy, Pres. Obama's version of former President Bill Clinton's "triangulation" strategy, if you will, has paid

solid dividends. This week, Senate Democrats blocked a disapproval resolution of the Iran nuclear deal, an accord that might be the Presi- dent’s most significant for- eign policy achievement of his second term.
In June, Congress gave him authority to negotiate a series of trade deals at the center of his economic agenda.
It’s a dramatic change for the Obama administration, and for the president him- self. Pres. Obama has tra- ditionally been forced into endless fights over his agenda — if his policies made it to the floor for a vote at all. But an alliance with Repub- licans on trade and an ag- gressive Democratic whip operation on Iran ended up giving President Obama several wins.

President Obama Directs Team To Accept 10,000 Syrian Refugees
Hillary Clinton Does The Whip And Nae-Nae On Ellen
2016 Democratic Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday.
Approximately 4 million Syrians have fled their country due to the multi-faction conflict.
Hillary Clinton did what all guests do when they visit “The Ellen De- Generes Show.” She danced – or at least tried to.
The Democratic presi- dential candidate and for- mer Secretary of State joined the show’s host and DJ, “So You Think You Can Dance” alum tWitch, and was carefully taught how to do the whip and the nae- nae.
Also during her appear- ance Tuesday, Clinton said
if she finds herself in the po- sition of running for reelec- tion in 2020, she’d ask Kanye West to “wait” be- fore running.
“Well, I heard him make the announcement,” Clin- ton said. “He said he wanted to run in 2020, I would only ask him, if I’m running for reelection, to wait. But otherwise, a lot of people want to run for pres- ident these days.”
Clinton’s episode aired on Thursday, Sept. 10.
America’s melting pot is getting more ingredients, as plans are underway for the country to take in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016.
Comments made by White House press secretary Josh Earnest, revealed that Pres- ident Barack Obama di- rected his team to drastically increase the number of Syri- ans allowed to resettle in U.S.
in the next fiscal year, begin- ning Oct. 1.
The move comes amid pres- sure the U. S. has received from lawmakers and human- rights groups who feel the country should do more to help the European nations who have taken in and are struggling to deal with the continuous stream of mi- grants. An estimated 4 million Syrians have fled the county,
which is at the center of a multi-faction conflict involv- ing government forces, rebels and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Despite the Obama ad- ministration’s plans to resettle 1,800 refugees from Syria this year, the U. S. falls far below the number of refugees ac- cepted by countries like Ger- many, Austria and the United Kingdom.
