Barack's Just An Ordinary Dad

Josh loposer — Mon, 18 May 2009 16:37:00 GMT

Gooooal! We already knew that Barack is an avid college football and basketball fan, but - in a revelation that's sure to make soccer moms swoon - he apparently gets really caught up in girls soccer.

These pics come straight from 7-year-old Sasha's Saturday soccer game. Check out the President's relaxed look with jeans and his hands in the air. These images almost look posed to me. Which of these soccer moms are really secret service agents in disguise?

I don't know why, but I always get a kick out of presidents dressed down in their casual looks, doing things that normal people do ... screaming about soccer games or choking on pretzels or whatever.

Straight after Sasha's game, President Obama hiked over to watch 11-year-old Malia's soccer showdown.

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.

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.

Holy Governor's Mansion, Batman! Val Kilmer Running for Office?

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 00:05:00 GMT

Hear that cacophonous crash? It's the sound of another actor entering politics! Val Kilmer is pondering running for governor of New Mexico in 2010, when Democrat Bill Richardson's second term ends.

"I'm just looking for ways to be contributive," Kilmer said in an interview on Thursday. "And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I'll run."

But don't start panicking quite yet. "It's really day to day," he reassured the world.

I wonder what Kilmer's kids, Mercedes and Jack, feel about their dad possibly running for governor? Judging by the spotlight that new First Daughters Sasha and Malia have been thrust into, it appears the kids of politicians are even more scrutinized than those of actors. One thing for sure: I'll bet they'll be bummed to leave behind dad's famous tree mansion for more conventional digs.

Harry Potter and The Chamber of Obama Girls

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 19:05:00 GMT

Sasha and Malia Obama, fresh off their Inauguration night visit from the Jonas Brothers, continue their world domination of all teenage girls' dreams. The First Daughters have been invited by Harry Potter himself on a private tour of Hogwarts. Pretty cool!

Potter star Daniel Radcliffe described President Obama as, "everything the rest of the world liked about America and now likes again,” and wants to show his admiration by giving Sasha and Malia a little star treatment.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to issue a public invitation to the Obamas that if their daughters would like a private tour of the Harry Potter set, I would be honored to be their personal tour guide," Radcliffe said.

Radcliffe, who is set to begin filming the final installment in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is optimistic for America's future under Obama. "He is a symbol of progress which is what we dig about this country. What you love about England is all the old buildings and such. The traditions. I love that, too. But this is what we want from you."

With the girls rubbing elbows with so many celebrities lately, could a future in show biz be far beind? Probably not - First Lady Michelle doesn't seem like a stage mom, and certainly not the type to let any of this go to her daughters' heads.

Although, seeing Sasha and Malia host Saturday Night Live - how awesome would that be? Hey, just throwing it out there.

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.

ObamaRama: The Musical!

Karl Erikson — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:35:00 GMT

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!

Obama's Complexion is Waxy

Karl Erikson — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:08:00 GMT

Looks like President Barack Obama has already been inaugurated, at least as far as Madame Tussauds is concerned. Barack's wax figure was unveiled in London early this morning. The model is shown in a recreated White House Oval Office, and includes a recreation of the Resolute desk, used by presidents for more than 100 years.

As usual, the infamous Madame Tussauds does amazing work.

I can't believe the real inauguration is coming up in less than a week.

Barack's Mother-in-Law Moving into White House

Karl Erikson — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 20:36:00 GMT

Looks like Barack's mom-in-law, Marian Robinson, is going to be moving into the White House this month. The First Grandma is going to help Michelle take care of Sasha and Malia Obama as they transition to Presidential life.

Mrs. Robinson, a Chicagoan, just retired from her bank job last summer and has never lived outside her home town. That means a big adjustment for her, just like it'll be a major adustment for the First Family. Barack often cited his mother-in-law as one of his unsung heroes.

Katie McCormick Lelyveld, Michelle Obama's spokesperson, said, "Mrs. Robinson will be coming with the family to help the girls get acclimated, and she will determine in the coming months whether or not she wants to stay in D.C. permanently. She didn't want anyone else taking care of the kids but her. She wanted to be the one there."

I sure hope Barack gets along with his MIL. If you think it's hard kicking her out of your regular house, try kicking her out of the White House!

For the gajillion people planning on attending Barack Obama's presidential inauguration January 20, I hope you don't have kids. Or an ass. Officials say that it'll be "safety first" next month. That means no thermoses, no coolers, no backbacks, and no signs.

But the part that has people cheesed? No chairs and NO STROLLERS. What? Are you freaking kidding me?

Course, any morons that think the inauguration is a place for babies deserve to have their babies stolen, anyway. But still. Seems an odd thing not to allow chairs or strollers.

Good thing his kids, Malia and Sasha, are old enough to walk, I guess.

Time's Person of the Year: Barack Obama

Karl Erikson — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:33:00 GMT

Time magazine has named its Person of the Year for 2008, and it's no surprise. Barack Obama adorns the cover once again, this time with the annual "award." The President Elect and father of two will take office January 20 - a mere month away now - and his kids couldn't be prouder.

Here's what Time says about their Person of the Year:

"He has come to dominate the public sphere so completely that it beggars belief to recall that half the people in America had never heard of him two years ago - that even his campaign manager, at the outset, wasn't sure Obama had what it would take to win the election. He hit the American scene like a thunderclap, upended our politics, shattered decades of conventional wisdom and overcame centuries of the social pecking order."

"The real story of Obama's year is the steady march of seemingly impossible accomplishments: beating the Clinton machine, organizing previously marginal voters, harnessing the new technologies of democratic engagement, shattering fundraising records, turning previously red states blue...and then waking up the day after his victory to reinvent the presidential-transition process in the face of a potentially dangerous vacuum of leadership."

Congrats to Mr. President-To-Be. Dammit, I was edged out once again.

President elect Barack Obama spent part of his Thanksgiving holiday helping out the less fortunate. Here he is with First Lady-to-be Michelle and Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7. They were at a Chicago church, shaking hands with lots of folks, wishing them a happy holiday, and Barack even said, "You can call me Barack."

Cuz, you know, that's his name.

Barack says he wants his daughters "to learn the importance of how fortunate they are, and to make sure they're giving back."

How was your Thanksgiving? I actually celebrated on Wednesday at my sister's, since she worked on Turkey Day. Hope everyone had a great day and that you weren't too cold this morning for Black Friday.

The other 3 men are Michael Phelps, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jon Hamm...they also get their own covers. I hate when magazines do this. Does anyone really buy all four different covers?

GQ says Obama is the "Game Changer of the Year." The photographer, Mark Seliger, was only given 1 minute and 45 seconds for the entire photo shoot.

Peru Offers Obamas the Ugliest Dog on the Planet

Barack Obama promised his daughers, Malia and Sasha, a new puppy upon his getting elected President. And now that we're finally finished hearing about the campaigns and seeing all those godawful commercials, the biggest question in the Free World is what KIND of puppy will the Obamas get?

With 10-year-old Malia allergic to dogs, there is definitely a challenge in finding the right doggy. Well, Peru may be able to help the Obamas. They're offering Barack and his family one of Peru's hairless, toothless dogs as a present.

Claudia Galvez, director of the Friends of the Peruvian Hairless Dog Association, says, "they do not cause any type of allergy and are very friendly and sweet." Oh, and fugly as hell.

The only catch? Galvez says they'd have to name the dog Machu Picchu to promote Peru's top tourist attraction.

Will Barack accept the offer? Will Malia and Sasha get an ugly hairless dog? Will Peru take over the dog-loving world? Stay tuned as we bring you more news from the Dogs of Our Lives.

What could possibly top finding out you're going to get that puppy you've always wanted, and then you get invited onto the Hannah Montana show, and then you get to move into the White House? How about having a video game created that stars your dad? Forget Super Mario - Malia and Sasha have Super Obama!

In a barely-veiled jab at Sarah Palin, President-Elect Barack Obama collects flags (instead of Mario coins) as he journeys through Alaska, defeating Republican lobbyists and dodging lipstick-wearing pit-bulls along the way. Traveling past Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, help Super Obama defeat the woman with the rack of clothes and get 150,000 points when you squish her! (Obviously a reference to Palin's much-publicized $150,000 spending spree.)

So come on, kids - let's play Super Obama World! Way more fun than field-dressing a moose.

Malia and Sasha, Meet Miley

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:05:00 GMT

Malia and Sasha, your dad just won the U.S. Presidential Election - what are you going to do now? Go to Disneyland?

While I'm sure the girls will be visiting the famous theme park at some point, another offer has come in from Billy Ray Cyrus: To visit the set of daughter Miley's show, "Hannah Montana." While it isn't clear if the new First Daughters are Miley Cyrus fans, Billy Ray says they're welcome anytime.

"The invitation is there,” Miley’s dad said. “The ‘Hannah Montana’ film comes out in April. Maybe something might happen around then. Maybe not. I don’t know… I have got to keep a secret.”

“I think that would be really cool and if anything, have them visit the set,” Cyrus noted. “They could see what we do and we could hear about what they do.”

Miley had some words of advice for Sasha and Malia, whose dad is the most famous person in the world right now.

“I think, more than anything, it would be to find your own identity,” Cyrus said. “Something that makes you stand out where you can be like, ‘This is Miley and she does this.’ I think that is a cool way to be if you can have your identity away from your parents, away from a friend or brother or sister.”

Also, Miley might want to caution them about taking pictures of themselves with their cell phones.

Now that Sasha and Malia Obama are officially the First Kids - or will be on January 20 - they can look forward to more than just a new puppy. The White House is chock full of specialty luxuries!

There's a tennis court on the South Lawn, of course, and a grand piano on the second floor. On top of that, there's a full-sized movie theater (with popcorn cart), their own pastry shop, a bowling alley, and a swimming pool. They'll have a staff of pastry chefs and ushers at their disposal.

But Michelle Obama still calls the shots when it comes to the rules of the house. "Make your own bed, clear the table, and set your alarm clock."

White House Chief Usher Gary Walters says, "Her rules reign."

Great painting. Sasha is now looking forward to Barack giving her the new puppy he promised.

Hey, we haven't talked about Michelle Obama in hours! We're slipping.

Did you see her speech last night. It was a good one, there is no denying that, but the real capper was the pure joy and innocence brought to the stage by the arrival of her daughters- especially when they corrected their father via satellite at his own party. Hey, I thought, that's just like my house. My kids correct me all the time and we have DirecTV. Maybe I'll run for president!

Here's her speech, watch it instead of working.
