亲爱的玛莉亚和萨莎：
我知道这两年你们俩随我一路竞选乐子不少，去野餐，参加巡游，逛州博览会，吃了各种我和妈妈大概不该给你们吃的垃圾食品。但我也知道，你们和妈妈的日子并不总是过得那么容易。新养的小狗虽然令你们俩兴奋，却无法弥补所有我们不在一起的时光。我明白，过去的这两年来我错过太多了。今天，我要再跟你们多解释一下，我为什么决定带领我们一家踏上这趟旅程。
Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you＇ve both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn＇t have let you have. But I also know that it hasn＇t always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn＇t make up for all the time we＇ve been apart. I know how much I＇ve missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
