(A P)— President Barack Obama
says he's a fan of two popular cable
TV shows: HBO's "Boardwalk Em
pire" and Showtime's "Homeland."
First lady Michelle Obama and
their daughters, 13-year-old Malia
and 10-year-old Sasha, enjoy watch
ing ABC's "Modem Family."
The president and first lady
Michelle Obama talked to People
Magazine about life in the White
House, from Facebook and helping
their daughters with classroom as
signments to their favorite TV shows
and reading habits. Mrs. Obama says
their daughters are "settled, they're
healthy, (and) thriving."
When asked about favorite TV
shows, Mrs. Obama said, "For the
girls and me, "Modem Family," that's
our favorite show." The comedy is
about three related Los Angeles-
area families.
The president said, "I'm a little
darker," telling the magazine that he
enjoys "Boardwalk Empire," a drama
depicting Prohibition-era Atlantic
City, and "Homeland," a psycho
logical thriller about a CIA officer
trying to unravel a suspected terror
ist plot.

and Sasha.
Michelle Obama says her hus
band has urged Malia to read the
classics, so she's reading John
Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath,"
and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender Is
the Night." Mrs. Obama says Toni
Morrison's "Song of Solomon" is
her favorite book, and "I'm inter
ested in hearing how she interprets
it.”
The president said he doesn't let
his daughters on Facebook. He said
they told him, "Why would we want
to have a whole bunch of people
who we don't know knowing our
business?"
The first couple said their daugh
ters don't need much help with school
work anymore and are "remarkably
self-sufficient." The president said
sometimes Malia asks for help with
a list of 75 vocabulary words. "She'll
say, "Read them to me, and I'm go
ing to write them out, so that I can
spell them right." Mrs. Obamajokes,
"That's excruciating."
