The Truth about Sasha Obama

Ever since Barack Obama took office in 2009, Sasha Obama was known simply as the president’s daughter. She grew up in the public eye, and also under extreme protection. Because of that, we can say that her childhood was anything but ordinary. However, she did have several moments over the years that other teens can relate too.

We first met Sasha during Barack Obama’s race for the White House. She was only seven years old. Did you know that Sasha is not her real name? Sasha is actually short for Natasha. We are mind blown.

2. She had a childhood scare

“Sasha got meningitis when she was three months old,” the President revealed. “I still remember going to the hospital together, and they had to give her a spinal tap.” Meningitis is a serious, life-threatening disease, so it is normal that he was concerned.

“Your world narrows to this very small point,” he added. “There’s one thing you care about, and you don’t care about anything else.” Fortunately, Sasha recovered completely.

3. She is a huge Ryan Reynolds fan

Like many teens who end the school year, Obama found herself a summer job. She worked at Nancy’s, a seafood restaurant on the island of Martha’s Vineyard.
