Obama takes daughters for a stroll in Central Park


President Obama, accompanied by his daughters Sasha and Malia, and other family members, strolled through Central Park on Saturday morning.

Walking near the ballfields south of Sheep’s Meadow, a relaxed Commander-in-Chief waved to onlookers as he chatted with his family, including his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng (they have the same mother) and his brother-in-law Konrad Ng. 

Two teen-aged friends of Sasha and Malia also joined in the 11:40 walk, after being dropped off by a 31-vehicle motorcade.

No hotdogs or pretzels were eaten, but the president shook hands with a food vendor.

Obama is in town with his family for a vacation weekend in the city, with a bit of time set aside Friday night for a National Democratic Committee fundraiser.

The First Family, minus First Lady Michelle, are staying at an East Side hotel.

The president and his family are expected to attend a matinee screening Saturday of the Tony-award winning musical “Hamilton,” a retelling of the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton – also the founder of The Post — set to a hip hop beat.
