Details are still coming in about an apparent terrorist attack in Munich, Germany, but that didn’t stop President Obama from using the opportunity to crack a joke about his eldest daughter leaving home and making the incident about himself.
While Obama was addressing reporters at the White House, he said, “I was a little bit delayed. As some of you know there were shooting in Germany.
“We don’t yet know exactly what’s happening there but obviously our hearts go out to those who may have been injured. It’s still an active situation and Germany’s one of our closest allies, so we are gonna pledge all the support that they may need in dealing with these circumstances,” Obama said.
“It’s a good reminder of something that I’ve said over the last couple of weeks, which is our way of life, our freedoms, our ability to go about our business everyday, raising our kids and seeing them grow up, graduate from high school,” Obama said as a smile began to grow on his face during a seemingly somber moment, “now about to leave their dad. I’m sorry, I’m getting a little too personal.
“Getting a little too personal there,” he said while smirking.
