Michelle Obama keeps daughters Malia and Sasha away from signing up on the popular social networking siteThe Obama daughters aren't on Facebook, and if it's up to the First Lady, they won't be signing up anytime soon.
Michelle Obama said she's "not a big fan of young kids having Facebook," during an interview yesterday with NBC's Today.
Michelle Obama said that she did not see why her daughters Sasha and Malia needed to be a part of FacebookShe added that while Sasha (9) and Malia (12), have certain restrictions other children don't have because of security issues, it's also "not something they need. It's not necessary right now."
When host Matt Lauer asked if the girls would be able to join the social networking site when they leave the White House, Obama replied, "It depends when we leave and how old they are."
During the interview, the First Lady also addressed criticism that chicken wings and deep dish pizza were served during the White House Super Bowl.

Reacting she said, it wasu00a0 not realistic to just eat healthy food all the time especially on Super Bowl Sunday.
"I don't even know what you'd have other than some hot dogs and some burgers for a Super Bowl party," she said.
And when asked if the President dyed his hair, she said, "No."
She also discussed her husband kicking his smoking habit. After smoking for the last 30 years, his family has always wanted him to be healthier, she said.
Going back to the Facebook topic, Lauer joked that maybe by the time her daughters were 40-years-old, the First Lady would "let them out of the bubble."
"Maybe, we'll talk about it," Obama said, laughing.
Facebook officially has a lower age limit of 13 for its users, but kids who are much younger frequently register for accounts at the popular website by simply lying about their age when they sign up. ufffd Agencies
