“You lie!”

No word on what the first parents got their girls, but Obama said earlier this week that they wanted books and iPod and video game “stuff.” The president also hinted that he expected maybe a tie from his daughters, but would be happy with just hugs.

Mrs. Obama at first joked that she couldn’t talk about her husband’s present because reporters would tell. But Mrs. Obama relented and said: “It’s good. I got him sports stuff.”

OW: Is there a greater pressure to give a good gift when you’re the president or can you get away with a lesser gift if you’re the president?
First Lady: What are you gonna get me? You should feel pressure.
President Obama: I have given some good gifts — you get some nice stuff. Here’s the general rule: I give nicer stuff than I get.
OW: Really?
First Lady: No way; I gave you good gifts last year.
President Obama: Absolutely - aw come on, please. You know it’s like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
First Lady: We’re talking about Christmas, don’t become distracted...
President Obama: But that principle applies generally.

Glad to know he has the true meaning of Christmas in his heart.

The article on Drudge about the terrorist attack, stated that the Obamas were up early on Christmas morning, went straight to the gym and did not exchange Christmas presents. I saw other posts that said that Obama played golf.

Nothing that you posted suggests otherwise.
