Soccer Family

Obama Tweets Apology To USWNT

I would fire the person who staged this united family fun photo...

You couldn't find some shoes? Or some smiles?

Sheesh.

I can't help but notice that Obama and Moooochelle are sitting in the exact same undignified pose.

At least BO is wearing shoes. I know wookies hate those ;-)

At July 18, 2011 2:01 PM, cube said...: Jan: lol. I can't explain how anyone in touch with the real world could look at that photo and give it the official approval to be released to us peons. I'm just shaking my head.

As for the wookie and the wookies-in-training, well, there was no ice cream or lobster to stuff in their faces. I can almost feel their pain ;-)

The bare feet REALLY bug me....My dad didn't even like us barefoot in our house! It's something that's clung with me (tho I do go barefoot now) That's creepy; no dignity...but at least NO HAMBURGERS AND FRIES :-) (that we can see)

Obviously staged -- scowls and all.
