President Barack Obama said Thursday the First Family would stay in Washington for “a couple of years” after he leaves the White House so his daughter Sasha can finish school, according to the White House pool report.

During a visit to a restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Obama told a woman who had written him about the Affordable Care Act that he and his family hadn’t figured out where they’ll live after his term is up.

“We’re going to have to stay a couple of years so Sasha can finish,” Obama said. “Transferring someone in the middle of high school — tough.”

Obama then booted the reporters who were gathered.

“Thanks guys,” he reportedly said. “Get out of here.”
