Malia Obama breaks into tears during her father's farewell speech

President Barack Obama's eldest daughter, Malia Obama, choked up Tuesday night as her father delivered his farewell address.

The 18 year old, who was sitting with her mother, shed a few tears as the president addressed her personally.

It's no wonder Malia was emotional, as her father offered nothing but praise to his girls.

"Malia and Sasha, under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women, smart and beautiful, but more importantly, kind and thoughtful and full of passion," he said. "You wore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily. Of all that I've done in my life, I'm most proud to be your dad. "

Malia's sister, 15-year-old Sasha Obama, was notably missing.

There, she choked up a bit as she told young people not to be afraid of what is to come.
