Obama likes 'Gangnam'; kids don't

President Obama likens election night to “a wedding,” has danced “Gangnam Style” before, and says his school age kids are “cooler than I am.”

When asked by People magazine what it felt like to win reelection on Nov. 6., Obama replies, “It’s like a wedding. You’re hoping everybody is having fun at the reception, that Aunt Mabel is getting a ride home, the crazy cousin didn’t drink too much.”

The commander-in-chief and Michelle Obama also give rare details about daughters Sasha and Malia in the wide-ranging magazine interview. The first lady reveals that 14-year-old Malia “has expressed some interest in filmmaking,” while with Sasha, 11, “what she likes today will change in an hour.” The youngest West Wing residents also don’t sound like big fans of the latest viral sensation. When the glossy mag inquires whether Sasha and Malia are into anything that Obama is embarrassed to admit he likes as well, the president says, “No. They’re cooler than I am. There are things I like that they think are cheesy, like ‘Gangnam Style.’ I love that.”

Obama discloses he’s even done the gallop-filled dance: “Of course I have, but I’m not going to be doing it on front of you.”

The president takes a playful jab at his wife during their chat with People. When the first lady informs him that she was nominated for a Grammy award for the audio version of her book, American Grown, Obama quips, “Well, when you win two, like me, then let me know.”

Obama picked up two Best Spoken Word Album awards for the audio books for his tomes, Dreams From my Father and The Audacity of Hope.

Michelle Obama remarked back at her husband, “Snap — oh!”

The People interview with the Obamas appears in the Dec. 31 issue of magazine.
