Barack Obama not a fan of ‘The Kardashians’

Malia and Sasha Obama apparently love watching “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” and their father Barack Obama doesn’t like it.

First Lady Michelle Obama reveals that the girls–ages 13 and 10–have taken to watching the E! show on weekends, the only time they are allowed to watch shows not related to school work.

When asked if any television shows are completely off-limits for the first daughters, Michelle Obama told iVillage, “Barack really thinks [“Keeping Up With The Kardashians”]–when they watch that stuff–he doesn’t like that as much. But I sort of feel like if we’re talking about it… I’m more concerned with how they take it in. ‘What did you learn when you watched that?’ If they’re learning the right lessons, like, ‘That was crazy,’ then I’m like, ‘Okay.'”

Page Six just hopes the girls don’t try to change their names to Kalia and Kasha, and start abusing leopard print.

Michelle Obama shared her strategies for keeping her family down to earth while living in the White House. The key for her is family dinner. “It’s really the interaction that we have as a family that makes it feel like a home,” she said. “It’s sitting down at the dinner table and having Barack’s day be really the last thing anyone really cares about. So he’s sort of the throw-on piece. It’s like, ‘Oh yeah, Daddy, and what did you do today?'”

While Barack Obama doesn’t love his daughters’ television taste, the girls are not fans of his crackberry habit. Michelle Obama furthered that Malia and Sasha will say, “We’re having dinner, put that down,” when Obama checks his Blackberry at the dinner table.
