President Barack Obama may be one of the most powerful men inthe world, but it's the women in his life that are being named influential. His daughters Malia and Sasha were among Time's 25 MostInfluential Teens of 2014, something mom Michelle Obama thinks isfunny.
"I don't know why — they're not influential,they just live here!" she joked about the White House on Live! With Kelly and Michaelon Monday. "They have done nothing to gain any influence."

Though only teenagers, many look up to the younggirls even if they're not aware of their status. "I don't think they even realize thatthey're influential," added Michelle. "I don't think anybody showedthem that article, so don't mention it!"
In fact, the First Lady discussed how normal herdaughters are, saying they even talk back to their famous parents. "Their sarcasm isstarting to come back on us," she added. "When they get a littlesnarky, I'm like, 'Oh, you sound like your dad.'" And Malia has alsolearned how to drive recently. "I've got a 16-year-old driver," themom-of-two said. "I warn people, 'Look out D.C.'"

"When we do come across someone who isstruggling... we have to develop a culture of open arms and acceptance so thatthey feel comfortable saying, "I'm a veteran. And by the way, I needlittle help," Michelle told the magazine. "It's always positive tohear how many people are willing to step up — whether it is the employmentcommunity, mental health community, or medical community.... The response isalways yes."
