Barack Obama's daughters, who are big fans of Jonas Brothers, were reportedly upset finding out they'd have to be in Denver when the band came through their hometown of Chicago.

American pop band Jonas Brothers have special big fans, presidential candidate Barack Obama's daughters. The girls, Malia and Sasha, were reportedly disappointed when they found out they would have to be in Denver when the band would be in their hometown of Chicago.

When Malia and Sasha took the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Monday night, August 25, their mom Michelle Obama told them, "I've got a surprise for you." "Is it the Jonas Brothers?" 10 year-old Malia asked. "No, it's not the Jonas Brothers," Michelle responded and the girls were apparently upset.

Obama said that his daughters are big fans of the teen band, which has Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas as the members. "They seem wholesome enough," the senator told reporters on his campaign plane earlier this month. "[The girls are] not thrilled that we're choosing the convention over the Jonas Brothers."

Meanwhile, Malia and Sasha's love for the Jonas Brothers is said to be well-documented. When Obama spent his birthday lounging around and drinking beer, his daughters reportedly danced around to the band's music on their iPods.

As for the Jonas Borthers, Kevin and Joe reportedly refused to endorse either presidential candidate. "But we do endorse voting ... getting to know the issues, learning about the candidates and [making] a decision for yourself," the 20-year-old Jonas said.
