Obama's 'coolest thing': People take your calls

A television anchor's daughter wanted to know "the coolest thing" about being president, and President Obama had a ready answer.

People will take your phone calls.

"I think the coolest thing is that if there's somebody interesting who's doing anything — a scientist, a sports figure, a writer, anybody in the world — if I want to call them up and talk to them, they will answer my phone call," Obama told WABC-TV of New York.

"And that's a pretty cool thing."

The anchor said her daughter had another nomination: Getting to spend time with musicians Beyonce and Jay Z.

Replied Obama, referencing his own children: "You can tell your daughter that that is a view shared by Malia and Sasha."
