President Barak Obama explain why he wont give a apeech at daughter's graduation.

President Barack Obama is preparing himself
for his eldest daughter’s high school
graduation, but he’s aware his emotions will
get the best of him when he sees Malia Obama
walk across the stage to receive her diploma.

ABC News reports the president opened up
about his daughter’s big day during lunch at
the Jolly Pumpkin Brewery in Detroit on
Wednesday. Obama was in town to attend
the North American Auto Show at Cobo
Center.

Turns out, Obama was actually given the
opportunity to speak at the 17-year-old’s
ceremony, but he turned it down because
he’ll be too busy crying.

ABC News reports:
“Malia’s school asked if I wanted to speak at
commencement and I said no,” the president
said. “I’m going to be wearing dark glasses …
and I’m going to cry.”

The entirety of President Obama’s comments
could not be overheard as his exchange was
caught only sporadically on audio.
Malia is currently in her senior year at the
prestigious Sidwell Friends School in
Washington.

It’s unclear what she will study once she goes
to college, but the teen has interned on the
set of HBO’s Girls and Halle Berry’s drama
Extant, both of which highlight her interest in
TV and film.
