— -- President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are determined to fix the White House's sub-par WiFi before they leave 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue next year.

"The whole tech thing, we've been trying to get that straight for the next group of folks," Obama said in an interview with CBS ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday.

He added: "This is an old building, so there are a lot of dead spots where the WiFi doesn't work."

Michelle said the spotty WiFi has been especially tough on the couple's daughters, Sasha and Malia.

"The girls are just irritated by it," she said.
