World’s Greatest Role Model

“The great thing about the girls is they’ve got a wonderful role model in their mom. They’ve seen how Michelle and I interact–not only the love but also the respect that I show to their mom. So I think they have pretty high expectations about how relationships should be, and that gives me some confidence about the future. I joke about this stuff sometimes, but the truth is they are smart, steady young women.”
