Photo Of The Day: Barack Obama Duels With GofG’s Own Tim Morehouse On White House Lawn
[Photo via AP]
GofG’s Tim Morehouse fenced with the President yesterday. You know, no big deal. Tim traveled to DC yesterday as part of Chicago’s Olympic Games bid, where he met both the President and the First Lady. President Obama joked that Tim (who is an Olympian himself) could give him some fencing pointers, but judging from the looks of this picture, he definitely held his own! Check out Tim’s personal account of the day here. More photos from the event below. More »

[U.S. President Barack Obama dances with daughter Sasha as they walk from the Oval Office to a luau, or a Hawaiian feast, on the South Lawn of the White House for members of Congress and their families in Washington, June 25, 2009. Photos via Getty]
We’ve had enough bad news for one week haven’t we? From Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, to our failing economy and the revolts in Iran; and don’t even get us started on this weather. If we’re all going to hell in a hand basket, we might as well try and have a little fun along the way, right? And if he (President Obama) can take a break for a bit, so can you! More from the White House Luau below…

Checking In On Our President…
[President Obama meeting with George Clooney in the Oval Office]
Were you guys aware that there is an official White House Flickr page? It has all sorts of goodies, like President Obama meeting with George Clooney to presumably discuss the new Ocean’s 14 casting, the White House dog, Bo, running around, and the President playing golf. I am addicted. Click below for some of my favorite shots as well as a chart of “The First 100 Days: Then and Now”… More »

“Best $2k I Never Spent!” Protesting Has Never Been This Much Fun!
[Photos via Getty] Yesterday, scores of activists protested in London as world leaders arrived for the G20 summit. Among demanding action on poverty, climate change and jobs, the group of (mostly young people), had quite a fun time! There was singing, yelling, dancing. Russell Brand was even there! (see first photo below). Sure there were a few injuries or two, but all in all, protests have never been so much fun! And all of this for free! What a deal! When do we get to have our own fun you ask? Well, if you should feel so inclined, it looks like a “civil demonstration” is brewing in on our own island tomorrow against the failed bailout of failed commercial institutions. [Information Here]

The Presidential Address As Explained Via Tumblr:
From: “Your Daily Dose of Joy“:
Hey Tumblrs!
Now I could go to Change.gov to get Obama’s speech and write a letter to the Republican National Committee to get a transcript of Jindal’s speech. That would be what a responsible citizen would do. But thanks to you, Tumblrs, I dont need to be a responsible citizen! You’ve already blogged about the speech and told me exactly how I should feel about it:
- The Speech made America love Barack Obama even more than they already did. And I LOVED IT.
- Joe Biden was in Dick Cheney’s former chair. Related: “Nobody messes with Joe.” And I started to get the feeling that my friends and I were playing dress up and this was all a miraculous dream.
- Michelle Obama hugged a girl from South Carolina. And I got really excited for Meredith. And for freedom. Obvs.
- 0 Comments. And I got a little gooey inside.
