Malia and Sasha - Breaking Promises Already

trix — Mon, 04 May 2009 11:33:00 GMT

It's nice to know that Sasha and Malia Obama are just like every other kid out there when it comes to promises they make.

It seems the girls are slacking on their daily doggie duties. Michelle says, "Even though the kids are supposed to do a lot of the work, I'm still up at 5:15 a.m. taking my dog out. So for everyone who has a child asking for a puppy – you have to want the dog."

So the first family is just like mine and yours, with us parents left holding the bag and cleaning up after our kids and their most fervent wishes.

Are the Obamas Cheapskates?

Michelle Obama Weighs in On BO

trix — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:02:00 GMT

Bo Obama has been in the White House for a week and the verdict is in.

Michelle Obama says the dog is "Crazy."

She said that "Bo" loves to bark and play and also likes to chew on people's feet. She did say, she is spending lots of time walking and training Bo.

I bet the girls just love him, I wonder whose bed he sleeps on or if he's relegated to a dog house.

So I was going to do the whole, do you know who my parents are, thing with this picture, but I think it's sort of obvious.

Malia looks exactly the same and happens to look just like her mom.

Here are a couple more pictures, just for fun...

They are too cute.

Michelle Obama Teaches Kids About Gardening

Josh loposer — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 19:12:00 GMT

Michelle Obama's like a Supermom. Just after she gets back from touring all over Europe, she's already tackling the White House dog issue, the White House Easter Egg Roll, and getting down and dirty with the much-anticipated White House Garden.

Michelle held court out on the White House lawn decked out in her gardening gloves and all, as she taught a group of school children the virtues of growing your own spinach, lettuce, herbs, fruits, and veggies. I wonder if she enlisted Malia and Sasha to help dig up the garden and get it ready to plant. I would.

When she asked the kids how much they thought it cost to plant the WH garden, a little boy guessed $100,000. To which Michelle replied: "My husband would go crazy if he thought we were spending that kind of money...It's between $100 and $200. So it's not a lot of money."

According to her, the garden was the hot topic while she visited with world leaders abroad. Back in the States, I gotta say there seems to be a lot more anticipation about what dog the Obamas will get. Hey, we're a nation of dog lovers. Or, maybe we just don't really care enough about sustainable gardening. Whatevs.

Obama Girls May Get An Easter Puppy

Josh loposer — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 21:30:00 GMT

Dude, I'm so jealous that Malia and Sasha are getting a freakin puppy.

As you might expect, people are obsessed with the Obamas' style of parenting, what type of dog they will get, and what -- if anything besides candy -- they will get their daughters for Easter. After a thorough grilling of the First Lady's office by reporters, White House spokespeople refused clear up the shroud of mystery surrounding the mythical first dog.

Press secretary Katie McCormick Lelyveld would only give us this much: "definitely not this week." Of course, Sunday is the first day of next week.

We do know this much: President Obama told Jay Leno that as soon as he got back from his trip overseas "the dog will be in place." Well here he is ... and he seems to have synched up the timing pretty well with the arrival of the Easter bunny. I can't help but notice.

We also know that there's a lot of speculation going around that Ted Kennedy is involved in the secret plot to deliver the dog -- and that he was instrumental in helping the Obamas pick out a breed: a Portuguese water dog. Senator Kennedy has two of them.

Is Miley Cyrus Too Good For The Obamas?

trix — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:30:00 GMT

Okay, so it's really hard for the Obama girls to head out to the movies like every other little girl out there so they asked Miley Cyrus if she be willing to send them a copy of the movie for a White House Screening.

Guess what the brat with a sense of entitlement said, she said NO!

Miley said, "They want me to send them a copy, so we will - but, like everyone else, they have to wait 'til April 10th. Even the President."

Wow! I guess she won't ever be invited to the White House, poor girl, she really thinks something of herself doesn't she?

Michelle Obama Wants To Be A Role Model

trix — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 12:32:00 GMT

So, I think we've all done the Michelle Obama isn't pregnant thing to death.

What we haven't discussed though, is her dedication to her workout regimen. Not only is she determined to be in the best shape of her life, she wants her daughters to, " See a mother who takes care of herself, even if that means I have to get up at 4:30 so I can do a workout."

She also described Barack's excitement at Sasha's interest in basketball, "Barack's losing his mind, I was like, 'Settle down - don't act too excited, or she will not want to do it.'"

That's awesome, my husband and I try to take a little time each day to stop and play and do something physical with our boys for the same reason.

Barack Obama Opens Up About Sasha's Health Scare

trix — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:32:00 GMT

Last week Barack Obama told all of the internet how much he loves nurses. He went on to explain why he loves them during Thursday's Internet town-hall meeting.

He went on to explain that, “When Sasha, our little precious pea, was just three months old, she was hospitalized with life-threatening meningitis. The doctors did a terrific job, but frankly, it was the nurses that were there with us when she had to get a spinal tap and all sorts of things that were just bringing me to tears. And we’ve got a problem in this country, which is we have a shortage of nurses.”

”I’m biased toward nurses. “I just like nurses.”

It's such a scary situation when your child is in the hospital. You have no control and all you want to do is take their place.

I didn't know that Sasha was sick when she was little, maybe the Obamas do know what it's like to be the rest of us.

Michelle Obama Towers Over Other Women

trix — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:03:00 GMT

Two famous moms got together to laugh it up while is Washington D.C. while promoting and celebrating Women's History Month.

Michelle Obama and Sheryl Crow were photographed together, both all decked out in black.

How tiny is Sheryl Crow, that she can wear heels and still be shorter than Michelle Obama, who happens to be wearing flats? She's at least 4 inches shorter with heels and I can't quite tell how tall her shoes are, but it definitely has a sizable heel.

There's nothing like being the tall one of the bunch, I'm tall and have never felt delicate, I'm sure Michelle Obama has the same feelings at times.

Sasha and Malia are going to be really tall, good thing their mom is tall. She will be able to help them not feel as awkward as they might, growing up.

Barack and Michelle Obama are Still Parents First

trix — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:32:00 GMT

How long did your parent teacher conference last this year, 5 to 10 minutes? Was your child's teacher awed by your presence?

No, mine either.

I'm guessing this wasn't the case for Sasha Obama's parent teacher conference. President and Michelle Obama were at the school for about an hour and I'm sure Sasha was thankful the press wasn't allowed inside.

That was, of course, the right decision. Sasha is probably a great student, but no one wants the whole world to know their kid's business in school.

Kudos to the President for attending the conference as well because, he could have just said, you go Michelle, tell Sasha I love her.

Sasha Obama Can't Wait to Get Back to the White House

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:45:00 GMT

After the Obamas touched down from a weekend at Camp David it looked like Sasha couldn't wait to get back to the White House. Maybe it was the new swing set that Michelle and Barack recently surprised their daughters with. Or, maybe she just had enough of hanging around with her family - that's tough, even if your dad is President of the United States.

Obama made a statement on Tuesday that American children should have a longer school year – either stay later in the day or into the summer – if they're going to have any chance of competing for jobs and paychecks against foreign kids. "I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas, not with Malia and Sasha," Obama said as the crowd laughed.

Geez, dad - great way to ruin a good weekend.

Here are some other shots of the First Family as they return from their weekend getaway. Malia is looking so grown up - I think in this first photo she's asking Michelle if she can borrow the car.

Surprise! Obama Daughters Get a New Swing Set

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:35:00 GMT

Another one of the perks when your dad is the leader of the free world: you get a swing set that's the envy of the neighborhood. Barack and Michelle Obama surprised daughters Sasha and Malia with this beauty on Wednesday, arranging for it to be installed while the girls were at school. It sits on the south grounds of the White House within sight of the Oval Office, where their dad spends plenty of time. Chances are slim that any bullies will be pushing the girls off these swings.

According to Michelle Obama's spokeswoman Katie McCormick Lelyveld, first daughters Sasha and Malia squealed with delight upon seeing the swing set for the first time. McCormick Lelyveld says this is just one of the ways the first couple is trying to make the White House feel more like home for their girls. "Many first families have made these sorts of changes to make the White House feel like home," she said. "This one is like their little mark."

And what swing set it is: The 100 percent cedar and North American Redwood structure has four swings, including a tire swing, a slide, a fort, a climbing wall and climbing ropes. In addition to the main structure, there's also a picnic table with brass plates etched with the names of all 44 presidents.

We have a scaled-down version of this same swing set in our backyard, but this was the one my girls first saw at the showroom. We had to keep removing options until it got down to something we could afford, which was basically just the ladder.

Michelle Obama on the Cover of Vogue

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 22:05:00 GMT

Michelle Obama is being heralded as a modern-day fashion icon, and now here's proof: the new First Lady will be appearing on the cover of the March issue of Vogue magazine. Mrs. Obama appears wearing a magenta silk sheath dress by Jason Wu, who also designed her inaugural gown.

Not surprisingly much of the interview, conducted by Vogue editor at large Leon Talley, centers around Mrs. Obama's self-appointed title as "mom in chief" to daughters 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha.

"I'm going to try to take them to school every morning, as much as I can," she said. "But there's also a measure of independence. And obviously there will be times I won't be able to drop them off at all. I like to be a presence in my kids' school. I want to know the teachers; I want to know the other parents."

I can't wait to read the interview with our new First Lady, who seems so refreshingly down-to-earth and devoted to her family. Finally, a reason to buy Vogue again.

Michelle Obama is Pregnant!

Macy Gray Does NOT Want to Have Barack Obama's Babies

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 21:17:00 GMT

Okay, I'm a fan of Macy Gray's music, but half the time she looks like she's walking around mumbling and wearing her bathrobe. So it didn't surprise me when Page Six ran a tidbit about something the singer said about our new President.

"I'm in love with Barack Obama...I wanna get married - like, I wanna have his kids," Gray says on an episode of the upcoming series Head Case. "Why am I not Michelle, you know what I mean? Who the [bleep] is she? You know, why can't I be her?"

But now Macy is fighting back and throwing her bedroom slippers at Page Six, saying that her quotes were taken out of context and were part of a scripted show.

"I portray a character in the Starz comedy series Head Case, which is a produced show about a wacky psychiatrist who is wackier than her patients," she said in a statement. "My character admits that she thinks Obama is hot. It is innocent and funny."

She continued, "The quotes printed by Page Six were taken completely out of context and needs to be recognized that it is dialogue from a scripted television program. It's ridiculous."

"I respect and love our new president and his family just as you do and would never disrespect them in any way."

Thanks for clearing that up, Macy. But I don't want to be around when you hear the news that Michelle Obama is pregnant.

Michelle Obama is Pregnant!

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:57:00 GMT

Order that diaper cake - Michelle Obama is pregnant! Perez Hilton is reporting that there are unconfirmed reports coming out of Washington D.C. that the new First Lady is expecting a baby.

This would be wonderful news if it's true. I didn't get invited to the Inauguration but I'm angling for an invite to the baby shower - I'll bring a gift AND my own lunch if I have to.

According to my extensive research (which means a two minute Googling session) the only child born to a President while in office was Grover Cleveland's second daughter Esther, in 1893.

I'd say it's about time for another White House baby!

Michelle Obama Has a Big Clay Head

Karl Erikson — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 23:36:00 GMT

Only the third first lady to have her likeness made out of wax at Madam Tussauds, Michelle Obama's figure is due to be revealed in March. Here's a behind-the-scenes photo of sculptor Colin Jackson putting the finishing touches on the clay mold of her head. Michelle's wax figure will stand next to President Obama's, which we showed you right here at Famecrawler, when it's finished.

The other two first ladies with wax figures? That'd be Jacqueline Kennedy and newly-appointed Secretary of State (ugh) Hillary Clinton.

My, Michelle has a bigger head than I thought.

Sasha and Malia Dolls: Biggest Coincidence Ever

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 19:05:00 GMT

Here are a couple of dolls from a new collection by Ty, the toy company that makes Beanie Babies. Their names are Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia, appear to be around the ages of 7 and 10 and were released shortly before the inauguration of President Barack Obama. But according to a spokesperson for Ty the dolls, part of the TyGirlz Collection, have no correlation whatsoever with the new First Daughters. That's right - it's totally a coincidence!

The names Sasha and Malia were chosen because "they are beautiful names," not because of any resemblance to Malia and Sasha Obama, said spokeswoman Tania Lundeen.

"There's nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls," Lundeen said. "It would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not."

Not surprisingly, the new First Lady isn't too thrilled about the dolls - like any parent, she doesn't want her children exploited for marketing purposes.

Wonder if they'll come out with Barack and Michelle dolls? Not that they'd have any relation whatsoever to the President and First Lady, of course.

Look Who Gets to Keep His Blackberry

trix — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 14:32:00 GMT

President Obama has won a major battle already and it has only been 4 days. He fought for it and now he gets to keep his Blackberry. Yay! for him.

Barack Obama admitted in the past that he is addicted to his Blackberry and wasn't sure what he was going to do if he became president and had to give it up. Now he doesn't have to.

He will be allowed to use his Blackberry to keep in touch with personal friends, senior staff and will be able to receive emails.

It's funny that the most powerful man in the world can't have a phone, it's like he gets all his information second hand. I wonder if he ever has to carry a wallet or man bag to hold all his stuff.

Ah, who am I kidding, he has people for that.

White House Spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said the president will limit its use, and security has been enhanced to ensure that Obama can communicate in a way that's protected. Only a small number of senior staff members and personal friends would be given his e-mail address.

Previous presidents chose not to use e-mail because it can be subpoenaed by Congress and courts and may be subject to public records laws. And Gibbs said the presumption from the White House counsel's office is that Obama's e-mails will be subject to the Presidential Records Act, which requires the National Archives to preserve presidential records.

Obama Girls Welcomed to the White House

trix — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 18:22:00 GMT

Sasha and Malia Obama were welcomed to the White House in style.

While their mom and dad spent the night going to ball after ball the staff at the White House welcomed the girls with open arms.

The staff staged movie screenings and a scavenger hunt to acquaint the girls and their friends with the history of the White House.

I'm so jealous, that would be so much fun.

The girls were also surprised when at the end of their hunt they opened the door to the Jonas brothers. They got to hang out with the brothers and chat for a while.

That sounds a lot more fun than inaugural ball after inaugural ball doesn't it?

Obama Retakes Oath, Just to Make Sure

Whit Honea — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 01:22:00 GMT

Perhaps you recall a bit of a flub during the official oath of President Barack Obama at the inauguration yesterday. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath for a second time today- just to make sure everything is nice and legit.

Roberts had a bit of the twisted tongue on Tuesday with the 35-word constitutionally required oath.

According to White House counsel Greg Craig, ""We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the President was sworn in appropriately yesterday. But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time."

This time there weren't millions of people or songs, prayers or poems. The eyes of the fashion world weren't on the First Family (don't worry, girls, your daddy is still the big cheese) and no speeches were made. The second oath was handled privately, just two men- Chief Justice Roberts and President Obama in the Map Room (with the candlestick, sorry I couldn't resist).

No Jonas Brothers were involved.

Dear Obama: Success Is An Inside Job

HerBadMother — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:25:00 GMT

On the day of his inauguration as 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama received this message: love your wife, play with your daughters, BE HAPPY. Oh, and don't buy too many cars.

I would advise you to remember that you did not create the disaster that the world is experiencing, and you alone are not responsible for bringing the world back to balance. A primary responsibility that you do have, however, is to cultivate happiness in your own life. To make a schedule that permits sufficient time of rest and play with your gorgeous wife and lovely daughters. Not to mention your brave and precious grandmother.* And so on. One gathers that your family is large. We are used to seeing men in the White House become juiceless and as white-haired as the building; we notice their wives and children looking strained and stressed. They soon have smiles so lacking in joy that they remind us of scissors. This is no way to lead. Nor does your family deserve this fate. One way of thinking about all this is: it is so bad now that there is no excuse not to relax. From your happy, relaxed state, you can model real success, which is only what so many people in the world really want. They may buy endless cars and houses and furs and gobble up all the attention and space they can manage, but this is because it is not clear to them yet that success is truly an inside job. That it is within the reach of almost everyone.

That's from Alice Walker. She's awesome. We should all take her words to heart, because everything she says is within the reach of all of us.

The concerts, balls, speeches and parades are over- well, maybe not the speeches, and today President Obama starts putting his money where his mouth is. Or our money, as the case may be.

There has been much written on the Obama family over the past few days and it might be a bit overwhelming. Here, for you convenience, is an easy to navigate collection of posts, photos and videos:

Screw "Wicked." Andrew Lloyd Weber can kiss my grits! Now there's a NEW musical in town and it's inspired by our brand spankin' new President. Yes, "Obama On My Mind" is coming to London in March!

I'm not kidding. It's happening. It's going to be a "pop, gospel, jazz, and soft rock" score and is written by Teddy Hayes, American crime writer. It's described as a "humorous look at the weird and wonderful world behind the scenes of a small Obama campaign office and the larger than life characters who make the wheels turn, the cogs whirr, and bring in the votes."

No casting has been announced yet, but I think Paul Reubens would make a fantastic Obama.

Holy Jeebus, someone stop this crazy Obama train!
