Memo to the presidential contenders: Even the most exclusive address in the United States has a problem with its Wi-Fi.

During their interview with CBS' Gayle King aired before Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama discussed some of the drawbacks to living in a building that is more than 200 years old.


"Do you have advice for the new couple in? For instance, about the job? About the house? Is the water pressure good? Is there Wi-Fi? Does the toilet run in the Lincoln Bedroom?" King asked, later clarifying that she meant it all in jest.

For the Obamas, however, apparently the Wi-Fi is no laughing matter. "Well, no, the— the— the whole— tech thing, we've been tryin' to get that straight for the next group of folks, because it is an old building. And — so there are a lot of dead spots where Wi-Fi doesn't work," President Obama said.

"It can be a little sketchy," the first lady remarked, as the president added that it "can be an issue," especially for daughters Sasha and Malia, who "get real irritated sometimes," Michelle Obama added.
