Sasha Obama's Friendly Reminder To Her Father On Election Night (VIDEO)

In the midst of Tuesday's election night celebration in Chicago, Sasha Obama gave her dad a friendly reminder that endeared her to supporters in the McCormick Place convention center and beyond.

Apparently anxious to ensure the newly-reelected leader didn't ignore any of his fans, the 11-year-old nudged her dad to look at the people behind him. It was excellent advice: as soon as Obama turned his head, the crowd behind the podium started cheering and waving American flags even more excitedly than before.

What a great dad who was still willing to listen to his 11 year old daughter in a moment like that. No wonder his girls are growing up to be such impressive young ladies.

Go Sasha!

Their girls have obviously been taught well.

That kid has it ALL goin' on! She's my favorite "First Daughter" ... and I'd take a bullet for her. She's got 'tude and there's almost nothin' better than 'tude in someone her age.
