"The truth is, I'm pretty relaxed about it for two reasons. One is Michelle [Obama] -- she's such a great example of how she carries herself, her self-esteem, not depending on boys to validate how you look or not letting yourself be judged by anything other than your character and intelligence."

"Hopefully I've been a good example in terms of how I show respect to my wife," he added.

"They have Secret Service," Obama simply stated. "There's only so much these guys can do!"

"These poor young men come by the house," he continued, laughing at the difficulties of trying to date the president's daughter.

"They have no idea," the show's DJ added.

"Oh, they have an idea," Obama replied. "I describe for them."

While Malia and Sasha's dates might have trouble getting through the White House's front door, their celebrity crushes are another story.
