In a recent interview with TIME magazine, President Barack Obama set out exactly what he thinks of body image, empowering young women — and his wife, Michelle.

Obama told TIME that he thinks his daughters are lucky to have such a great body image role model as their “gorgeous” mother. N’aww.
“When I was a kid, I didn’t realize … the enormous pressure that young women are placed under in terms of looking a certain way,” he admitted.
And Obama added that the pressures are even more challenging for African-American women, saying, “Malia’ll talk about black girls’ hair and will have much opinions on that.”
“She’s pretty opinionated about the fact that it costs a lot, it takes a long time, that sometimes girls can be just as tough on each other about how they’re supposed to look.”
“The fact that [my daughters] have got a tall, gorgeous mom who has some curves — that their father appreciates — I think is helpful,” he said.
Can these guys get any more adorable?
