Greenwire: Malia Obama frequently asks her father, President Obama, what he is doing to save tigers and other endangered animals, first lady Michelle Obama told school children visiting the White House yesterday.
The youths, whose parents work in the executive office and were visiting the White House for Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, asked the first lady about the family’s environmental interests. Michelle Obama responded that the family talks about tigers at least once a week because of Malia’s interest.
“He tells her he’s working on it and there are a lot of people who are thinking about it,” she said. “But I think, the Obama household, we’re trying to save the tigers.”
