This Thanksgiving weekend, the First Family did the same thing many Americans families did – catch a game. For the Obamas, the game of choice was basketball.
The Beavers of Oregon State, where Michelle Obama’s brother Craig Robinson is the head coach, were in town to play the George Washington University Colonials last night. The game was a family affair with Barack, Michelle, Sasha and Malia Obama as well as grandmother Miriam Robinson, arriving at the Smith Center shortly before the game began.
Fans were required to go through airport-like security before entering the arena. While there was no official announcement of the President's arrival, students rushed to take photos and wave at the family as they entered. The Obamas sat behind the Oregon State bench and enjoyed popcorn during the first half. A few signs saying "Yo, Barry!" and "What's up Michelle?" popped up in the student section.
Oregon State, which led the entire gam, held on to win 64-57 despite a last minute rally by the Colonials. The First Family stayed through the end of the game, cheering on Oregon State. GW head coach Karl Hobbs thanked the President for attending and joked about the loss saying, "I knew there was trouble when I saw Craig's mother here."
On Friday, Oregon State's team was treated to a guided tour of the White House and a meeting with President Obama and his special assistant Reggie Love, a former Duke basketball and football player. According to the University's press release, the squad had the opportunity to check out the White House basketball court, a former tennis court that was converted after President Obama took office.

and how much did it cost the tax-payers????
Whoop-ty $hit.
Sources report that nobody is interested and nobody cares."
Um, uh, let me be clear, uh, um, make no mistake, uh, uh, I will not rest until uh, uh, um......
Obamas Catch A College Basketball Game...
Gosh golly gee, they are such a normal fun loving family being bought and planted by Soros and all in the White House while us Taxpayers fund his golfing and International apologizing trips.
As I see it, Obama, being a community organizer, delegates a lot of tasks to his underlings. Afghanistan is something he alone will have to decide and he can’t focus on it. Hence, the day out at the basketball game.
The man simply cannot lead.
You beat me to it....I was going to say “as he continues to dither (I love that word these days) about our troops at war”.....
Not to mention Obama has a string of Holiday parties this week. A string?
Gee, did any of the arena staff check for OBOWZO'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE??
never mind!
Can someone please lock the White Hut doors so that these losers can’t get back in?
Oregon State names new coach.
Craig Robinson New Coach of the Beavers
"I'm still not proud of my country," says Coach Robinson's Harvard graduate sister Michelle. What the hell does it take? people ask.
MeeShell had castration device ready in case OS lost.
And he still can’t decide on Afghanistan nor address the country’s unemployment rate. Man-child twit.
Have you ever seen a president with such contempt for the Oval Office? Feet on tables, golf all the time, public events costing the U.S. $$$???
