President Barack Obama chose to laugh it up during his visit this week on the Late Show With David Letterman.
One of the questions Letterman ask him was about whether Obama felt he was being targeted by criticism that is fueled by racism.  His first answer – “first of all, I was actually Black before the election.”  Good point and a very diplomatic answer considering how easily responding to a question like that can cause an uproar.
He went on to point out that other presidents in the past have met with serious opposition when they’ve tried to implement a great deal …read more

Much like Presidents Eisenhower and Clinton, current President Barack Obama fancies himself a golf enthusiast.  While vacationing with his family on Martha’s Vineyard, Obama took in a round of golf at the Farm Neck Golf Club yesterday, playing with investment banker Robert Wolf, White House aide Marvin Nicholson and friend Eric Whitaker.
Rumors are swirling around the vineyard that Obama will be playing a round later in the week with world number one player Tiger Woods.  Both Woods and the White House are denying that the two are going to tee it up sometime in the near future.

There has been a lot of conversation lately revolving around whether or not the WNBA is worth the investment. The league itself is struggling to remain financially viable for the NBA and teams are constantly folding year over year. Another city pops up, willing to take a chance and form an expansion team. Why? If there’s no money to be made, what’s the point?
The truth is that the WNBA’s impact is far more than financial. I read an article on ESPN about how President Obama’s daughters love watching women’s basketball.  One particular quote stood out the most: “Sasha and Malia, …read more

Last week, President Barack Obama linked video games to a sedentary lifestyle in a speech to the American Medical Association about health care reform. And certainly, we all know that sitting on a couch in front of your console or computer screen for hours on end isn’t great for your fitness level. However, EA SPORTS President posted a challenge to our American President on his official blog.
From Peter Moore:
Of course, I can’t resist pointing out that while I’ve always wholeheartedly endorsed moderation in anything you do, including playing games, it may be time for the President and his family to …read more

Going 39-0 and winning a National Championship was cake for UCONN this year. Meeting President Obama … well, that’s just icing on the cake.
According to ESPN.com, moments after Monday’s event in front of the South Portico, Obama hustled the team over to the outdoor half-court, away from reporters and cameras.
He challenged a few of the players to a spontaneous game of P-I-G.
“He was pretty good from 17 feet,” said coach Geno Auriemma. “His shot’s a little unorthodox, but it goes in … He’s got a little bit of that swagger.”
Obama is a big fan of college basketball, and appreciates all …read more

Have you ever wondered what kinds of TV shows President Barack Obama likes to watch? I won’t lie, I’ve wondered about music but I assumed he really didn’t have time for television. I read an article on Variety.com that changed my mind.
Apparently, the American President loves to watch Entourage (me too!) which is about an up-and-coming actor and his group of friends (and brother) after he moves out to Hollywood.  It’s based loosely on the life of Mark Wahlberg, who produces the series.  I didn’t know that the character of Ari Gold (a talent agent played perfectly by …read more

I just finished watching the live stream from President Obama’s site and I’m wondering why it’s taking Wikipedia so long to organize the updated information about him, whereas CNN, BBC and all the other news sites have made the announcement.

Actually, there is an update. Albeit rather … well. Cute. Here’s the screencap I took (above).
