Judging by the fact that President Obama’s tenure is about to end, I’m pretty sure that he is now able to give fewer f***s than ever before. Not that he doesn’t care, but the phrase “Thanks Obama” and all it’s sarcastic punch might fall a little flat for him, if it ever even riled him in the first place. Which is a good thing, because after he supposedly was unable to set up a meeting with Lionel Messi for his daughters, Obama’s daughters might be able to use it against him pretty soon.
During a recent speech he made at the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative Town Hall in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Obama told a little anecdote about how he and his daughters have met one famous Argentine, but not another.
"I also wanted to bring my daughters here, so they could see the beauty and the vibrancy of this city," he said. "They've already met one famous Argentinean -- His Holiness Pope Francis. Now they want to meet Messi, but I could not arrange that."
Maybe this is just his ploy to get Messi’s attention, so his daughters can in the end meet Messi. That would make sense, because I find it hard to believe that the president will fail to make such a meeting happen while he still has around 8 months of power left.

The hidden hilarity of this all is that Obama's daughters might be able to hold this over their father’s head if he never makes it happen.
Imagine that, you are the most powerful man in the world and your own daughterss use the one phrase that has come to stand for all your shortcomings against you, possibly in perpetuity.
Thanks Obama.
