Gosh, Obama’a older daughter has much more poise and manners than Mrs. O. Just look at the First Lady.

A "small thing" like the country's budget crises has never stopped him from doing whatever he wished before. I would say the excuse is bogus.

So Obama touched their lives before the big game...

No wonder they lost.

Sad—he had to give the US women’s soccer team the kiss of Obama.

If you have a sec..do a search of Iowahawk’s old columns..the one he wrote about Bill Clinton attending the WWC in 1999 in California is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read..

My thoughts exactly. What would Obama know about being a leader?

Do we really have to see them bare footing in the White House?

If they think it is OK to do it fine, just don’t publish pictures of it.

It kind of “stinks” of the lack of respect held by them for the office.

I knew when Obama and Hillary were watching the game, that Japan would win. They’re both hexes.

I think they photoshop Obama into the picture. It’s the same look at pose he had when they were watching the Osama raid. Just with a jacket.

I think he would look good in that pose in front of a bulldozer with a pancake on his head.
