Forget gun control and healthcare reform ? former President Barack Obama had a personal reason for wanting to win a second term so badly.
During an appearance on the "Tonight Show" Tuesday night, former first lady Michelle Obama said her husband was fueled to win re-election because he wanted to keep their daughters under the guard of the Secret Service.
"I've always said, as quiet as it's kept, the second term of the presidency was really fueled by Barack's desire to keep them with their agents into their teen years," she said.
"He was like, 'We've got to win, because I don't want those girls walking around.' He wanted men with guns with them. He worked extra hard on those votes. He's like, 'Come on voters!'" Obama recalled.
The couple's daughters, Malia and Sasha, were 14 and 11 years old respectively when their father was inaugurated to his second term in the White House.
