Barack Obama? Big deal.

Malia and Sasha Obama wanted the Jonas Brothers on stage at the Democratic National Convention instead, MTV News reports.

After their mom Michelle's speech on Monday, she told her girls she had a surprise for them.

Unaware that their dad was going to appear via satellite, Malia, 10, asked, "Is it the Jonas Brothers?"

Turns out, the popular boy band was performing in their Chicago hometown the same week they had to be in Denver for the DNC.

Needless to say, the girls were disappointed.

They've long harbored JoBro crushes.

Barack said he even celebrated his recent 47th birthday by drinking beer and watching his daughters dance around to the Jonas' music on their iPods.

"Who are these guys?" he recalled asking them while visiting "Kidd Kraddick in the Morning" last February. "And how many pictures of them do you need on your wall?"

(For the record, he has said he finds their music "wholesome enough.")

The Jonas Brothers haven't yet endorsed a candidate.

"But we do endorse voting," Kevin said. "Getting to know the issues, learning about the candidates and [making] a decision for yourself."
