New Web ad highlights Obama's relationship with daughters

The Obama campaign is marking Father's Day with a new Web ad that highlights President Obama's relationship with his two daughters.

The ad, which is narrated by first lady Michelle Obama, includes a montage of photos and video of Obama with Malia and Sasha over the years. In the video, the first lady offers Father's Day wishes to all dads and pays tribute to her husband, whom she says has managed to remain immersed in their children's lives despite the demands of his job.

In his memoir and in remarks over the years, Obama has reflected on the absence of his father in his own life and the premium he's put on his relationship with his two daughters.

"They know their dad is president of the United States, but when it all comes down to it, he's there for them," Michelle Obama says. "I don't think he's missed a parent-teacher conference in their entire lives. He's at everything he possibly can (be) — every concert, every game that he can make. He knows it is important for girls to have the love and support of the most important man in their life and that's their father."

The first lady notes that the president also tears away from his work most nights to have dinner with her and their daughters.

"When we're sitting around the dinner table, he's not Barack Obama, the president of the United States," she says. "He's Malia and Sasha's dad, and I think that helps to ground him."
