NH radio interview: Obama gives dating advice to 12-year-old

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) � In an Election Day interview with a New Hampshire radio station, President Barack Obama talked about the family and children � and even offered a 12-year-old girl some parental advice on dating.

Obama was speaking with Mike Morin and Tracy Caruso, hosts of WZID-FM's morning show in Manchester. Caruso's children were in the studio.

Her daughter, Taylor, said her mom won't let her date until she's 16. She asked the president, "Do you allow your daughters to date yet?"

Obama said his younger daughter, Sasha, does not yet seem to be interested in dating. He said for Malia, now in high school, there hasn't been "anything official" yet.

He said the time will be right when a polite young man comes along � but that Mom sets the ground rules.
