He lit a tree earlier, too. He gives a shit about all the religions, not just the Christian one.

President Obama may not be welcome in Kailua by some residents but others are…



The residents of Kailua are split on whether or not they are happy President Obama and his family are vacationing in their area of Honolulu. Some people are excited the President has stopped by but others would prefer to have their beach back to themselves.

Don Mitchell who has lived on the island for over 20 years decided his front lawn could be used for some news organizations to park closely to his house, but some are not as welcome. Check out the cost for Fox News!

First Family visiting a Nature Preserve…



President Obama and his family visited the Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve. The park, which is normally closed on Tuesdays, was opened specifically for the First Family and their friends. The park is a major tourist site on the island of Oahu, and activities include snorkeling, hiking, and visiting an exhibit on the Preserve.

From the White House -

President Obama spoke for roughly thirty minutes with President Preval of Haiti this morning. President Obama said that the world has been devastated by the loss and suffering in Haiti, and pledged the full support of the American people for the government and people of Haiti as it relates to both the immediate recovery effort, and the long-term rebuilding effort. President Preval said that he has been touched by the friendship of the American people, and expressed his condolences for the loss of American citizens in Haiti. He said that the needs are great, that relief is now flowing in to the people of Haiti, and noted the support that has come from both America and many other countries from the region and around the world. The two Presidents underscored the need to closely coordinate assistance efforts among the various parties, including the Haitian government, the United Nations, the United States and the many international partners and aid organizations on the ground. President Obama underscored his commitment to supporting the government and people of Haiti through his team on the ground. President Preval closed by passing a message to the American people, “from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of the Haitian people, thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Freudian slip? ;)

[Nichelle]

Freudian slip? ;)

Since there actually was a President Clinton, I'm going with no.

And if this thread goes back to the primaries, I'm out. :)

It seems like a pretty funny moment, though. And the picture of the two of them laughing is great.


In a fitting show of solidarity for International Women's Day, First Lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made light of the brutal 2008 battle Clinton conducted to defeat Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination. As Michelle Obama launched a State Department commemoration (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ynews/ts_ynews/storytext/ynews_ts1241/35431478/SIG=12i03f2gd/*http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/10/michelle-obama-almost-cal_n_494059.html) of International Women's Day, she briefly stumbled over Clinton's job title. "Let me thank my dear friend, Senator - Secretary Clinton. I almost said, 'President Clinton,' " said the first lady to laughter and applause. "But let me thank you for that kind introduction, and most of all thank you for your friendship, thank you for your support, and thank you for your indispensable advice in getting me through this first year and helping me figure out how to get my family settled in our new life in D.C."


The exchange stood as another rebuke to a favored theme of the Beltway pundit set (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ynews/ts_ynews/storytext/ynews_ts1241/35431478/SIG=12gho71nt/*http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-07-13/obamas-other-wife-1/): that tensions between the Obamas and the Secretary of State still run high. More than that, though, the series of events that the first lady presided over drew wider attention to the stubborn lags in gender equality beyond the developed Western world. Both women stressed this issue in their respective speeches (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ynews/ts_ynews/storytext/ynews_ts1241/35431478/SIG=12amrndvd/*http://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/11/womens.rights/?iref=hpmostpop). As Secretary Clinton put it, the world "can't solve problems of financial crisis, climate change, disease and poverty if half of the population is left behind."

"A Mouse in the House"... (http://whitehouse.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/05/20/a-mouse-in-the-house/)
20 May 2010

As President Obama was speaking to reporters in the Rose Garden about Wall Street reform, a small mouse made an appearance in front of the President. Video Cameras focused on the President's remarks, but Still Photographers were able to catch the critter in their frame.

America’s Collapse Briefly Stalled By Sexytime Obama Pic

http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/barack-michelle-obama.jpg

Terrible oil spills destroying however many states/Gulfs of Mexico? Stock market collapse, again? Who cares, just look at these sexy grownup people dressed all fancy and not having sex affairs with bloggers or whatever.

This photo was taken just before White House Taco Night (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127013402), which is always on Wednesdays. Wednesday is Taco Night — not like Tuesday is Taco Night, which is the case for Real America. (Actually Real Real America has Taco Night every night, after whatever other fifty pounds of shit they ate while watching the TeeVee for seven hours, because Taco Bell is Open Late(TM) at night.)

There's no way they're dressed up for tacos in those pics.

If this is White House Photo of the Day, why no pics of the kids, the mom in law or the dogs?

The photograph was taken before "Taco Night", the most recent State Dinner which hosted a Mexican President.
