Barack Obama
Related: About this forumEmpty nest syndrome has Barack Obama in tears
US President Barack Obama has a lot on his plate, but one item is causing him considerable stress: his impending empty nest syndrome.
Sixteen-year-old daughter Malia hasn't even finished high school, but Obama says the thought of her heading off to college has him crying. Several times a day, in fact.
"I start tearing up in the middle of the day and I can't explain it, why am I so sad? They're leaving me," he told a laughing crowd at a prayer breakfast Tuesday, injecting a fake quiver into his voice.

some 'adult presence', she'll be stunning.
