The first family stepped away from the White House today to catch some college basketball at Howard University. First Lady Michelle Obama’s brother, Craig Robinson, the head coach of the Oregon State men’s basketball team, was in town for the matchup against HU.

This was the president’s first public appearance since catching an elbow in the mouth during a basketball game. The White House now says that President Obama injured his lower lip. The White House originally told reporters the president got 12 stitches to his upper lip.

The Obamas arrived to an enthusiastic but sparse crowd at Howard. President Obama, the first lady, daughters Sasha and Malia, and Marian Robinson sat next to Craig Robinson’s wife behind the Oregon State bench. The first daughters wore orange in a show of support for the Oregon State Beavers.

” Howard is an historically black university and the crowd grew especially excited when a song with the hook “my president is black” was played on the loud system. “

I wonder how Tapper decided that the crowd at the historically black college
grew “ especially excited “ ?

Do they lie about everything?

Nope. Just sloppy lazy journalists that are all to prevalent these days (if the press release said it, it must be true)

Howard, by the way, is a very good university.

I only hope that the next President has nothing to do with basketball whatsoever.

The Obama clan looks like they’re making a hostage video during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner.
Michelle apparently thinks her heart is by her left shoulder .

The crowd had been infiltrated with TSAgents.

Cheering for Oregon against Howard University - that’s RACIST, isn’t it?

I would think they would have some mixed feelings at the very least ;)

That is an unbelievable photo. They all look so unhappy to be standing for the National Anthem. And why do Michelle and her mother have their other arms crossed in front of them instead of down by their sides, which would be the right way to stand with respect?

Name one college that does these days. The old courses of philosophy and logic have been tossed aside in this postmodern world.

“In a February 2008 interview with Newsweek, Michelle revealed that she got into Princeton … not on the strength of her grades, which she admits were unexceptional, but thanks to her brother Craig, a star athlete and gifted student who preceded her to the school. As a ‘legacy’ candidate and a beneficiary of affirmative action, Michelle Obama was granted an opportunity that others more accomplished were denied.”
