POTUS and FLOTUS Obama caught up with Barbara Walters to talk about Thanksgiving, Sarah Palin, and other American treasures, and the president gave daughters Malia and Sasha credit for helping him keep "his bearings." Aw.

Obama says he tries to be home for dinner whenever he's in town to take care of his dadly duties and listen to them. Other revelations: everyone in the family wants to claim Bo as their own dog, and Michelle will "never get sick" of everybody always talking about how toned her arms are. "If it's a positive compliment, I am a woman, just, like, bring it on. I'm, I'm cool with it," she says.
