President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama reported assets worth between $1.8 million and $7 million for last year, little changed from their previous year's holdings, according to financial disclosure forms released Thursday.

The forms show the largest jointly owned assets by the president and the first lady were Treasury notes worth between $1 million and $5 million.
