He says he and first lady Michelle Obama took a hit like everybody else when the economy nearly collapsed, telling ABC that a college fund for daughters Malia and Sasha has gone "up and down" with the stock market.

iirc, presidents have to put their money into blind trusts to be administered by an outside party while they are in office.
