Sasha bunking Obama's farewell speech activates Twitteratis
Sasha missed the speech because she has an exam in the morning, said a senior administration official.
Chicago: While Barack Obama was delivering his final speech to the nation, Twitteratis were nagged by the unexplained absence of Sasha, the President's youngest daughter.
Twitteratis soon began searching for absent Sasha, using the hashtag #whereissasha after the 15-year-old was not found seated along with Michelle Obama and Malia Obama in the audience at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Among the theories, Sasha was on an elite anti-terrorism mission or looking for President-elect Trump's tax returns, CNN reported.
Later a senior administration official said Sasha missed the speech because she has an exam in the morning. Sasha, is a sophomore at the prestigious private school, Sidwell Friends in Washington DC.
In his speech, Obama praised his two daughters as his proudest achievement.
"Malia," Obama said, gesturing to his 18-year-old eldest daughter, "...and Sasha, under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women.
"You are smart and you are beautiful but more importantly, you are kind and you are thoughtful -- and you are full of passion. And bore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily.
"Of all that I have done in my life, I am most proud to be your dad," Obama said.
