President Barack Obama and his family will continue calling Washington home after he leaves the White House next year, at least for a little while.
Obama was having lunch Thursday in Milwaukee with people who had written him letters when one asked where he would live during his post-presidency.
“We’re going to have to stay a couple of years in D.C., probably, so Sasha can finish,” he said. “Transferring someone in the middle of high school? Tough.”
Obama’s daughters attend a private school in Washington. Malia, currently a senior, is expected to leave home for college next year. Sasha will be a sophomore in high school when Obama departs office in January 2017.
The president said that the family's plans beyond Sasha’s graduation were not yet clear.
