US PRESIDENT Barack Obama has told how he doesn't mind his daughter going on dates - as she has secret service protection. Talking to MTV, Obama was quizzed about whether he was more worried about Malia getting her driving licence, going out on a date, or using Facebook. He replied: "I'd worry about Facebook, right now. Only because - I know the folks at Facebook, they've revolutionised social networks - but Malia because she's well-known, I'm very keen on her protecting her privacy." And he added: "Right now, even just for security reasons, she doesn't have a Facebook page." He went on to tell interviewer Sway Calloway how protection officers would make sure his little girl was looked after at all times. Obama who is campaigning for a second term as President, was talking to MTV in an attempt to woo the youth vote ahead of the November 2 election. But he already has a dedicated celebrity fan base, with Firework singer Katy Perry recently performing in a tight white rubber dress printed up like an election ballot slip - with a check next to Obama's name. And other stars supporting Obama's campaign include Hollywood favourites Scarlett Johansson and George Clooney, as well as Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am.
