    That is Ready!!!!! It excites me to see Pres. Obama Working during the day and being able to enjoy leisure activities like regular americans. First pres in along time I think who really connects on a personal level with ordinary citizens and it be genuine. Go Bulls!!! (Diehard Bulls fan from MJ DAYS LOL!!)

  2. LittlePrincess

    Aww I think President OB is soo adorable!

    When is CL going to post up the official portrait of Michelle? Or have they already done that

  3. Berns

    I think its great that he takes time to enjoy himself, eventhough he has the most demanding job in the world. It makes me think “why can’t I?”

  4. Kimbra

    You Go Mr. President Do Yo Thang!!!!! I Love It

  5. Greatestloveofall

    Sexiest US Prez ever period.

  6. LayinkaJ

    I love my President!

  7. MSKCC

    He looks like a kid in a candy store with his wizards jersey. I love it!!

  8. JUST LIKE A STAR

    My number 1 wish is when i come out to america in april, i get to see him, ca it seems like he is every where. Im gonna be really excited when i come off dat plane in NYC :D

  9. sigh

    Ok, I know im gonna get bashed for this, but President Obama has way too much time on his hands. If it’s not a magazine photoshoot or celebrity interview, it feels like he’s more of a celebrity than a commander in chief. I take it as such a slap in the face to the people of this country that are struggling with this current economy. Smh.

  10. GS

    Obama is such a down to earth person. I’m glad he can relax every now and then so he can refresh his mind.

  11. RastaMermaid

    The President doesn’t have the right to follow his see his hometeam play in his new state.

    Please Stop The Madness

  12. SPOKENREALITY

    “SIGH”
    IF YOU TAKE IT AS SUCH A SLAP IN THE FACE, THEN THE SLAP IS FROM YOUR PREVIOUS PRESIDENT. HE IS THE ONE THAT YOU VOTED TWICE FOR TO KEEP IN TERM AND HE IS THE ONE THAT HAS PUT OUR COUNTRY IN THE SLUM OF AN ECONOMY THAT WE’RE FACED WITH TODAY. HURRAY FOR BUSH!!! NOT…..

  13. K

    #9 STFU. What do you think he’s been doing since he got in office? You are very ignorant. After all of the negative press over the stimulus bill and every other breath he takes, you should know by now that he’s hard at work for US. However, he takes advantage of going out in public, unlike other Presidents who stay cooped up and don’t really want to interact with the people of this country.

    – So yes, you will get bashed for that comment. POOR YOU.

    ——————–

    Anyway, President Obama looks like he had fun. He is so sweet. He’s genuinely a good person and it’s not a show. He’s already President now, so if he wasn’t really like this there would be no need to put on a front.

    lol @ all the people trying to take pictures of the back of his head..

  14. Elle Woods

    i really hate when ppl talk out of their arses and this is directed at number 9 aka SIGH.
    If you are talking bout interviews before he was inaugurated then you have no point. As of that time, bush was still the president and short of wresting the reins of presidency away from him, Obama had the option to do whatever he wanted with his free time. Now, since he took on the reins as president of the united states, i dare you to show me a “photo shoot” or “celebrity interview” he has done. Since he became president o and not before the inauguration. Some folks just like to hate for hating sake. It will bring you down!! Better get your mind right. Too much time on his hands…so he isn’t allowed a couple of hours to watch a game? Or maybe you would rather he did it in the white house and out of the public eye as opposed to watching it with his constituents.

  15. Ernest.

    Mr. [President] Obama’s Swagger, is so damn infinite [no homo tho] LOL

  16. brandi

    aww i love my adorable president lol

  26. The Beautiful Ones

    @9. sigh …. you just want someone to pay you some attention. Here ya go! Happy now?

    I love that President Obama can still enjoy himself in this kind of way. I’m sure he handled all the business of the day and just wanted to go see his team play. I dont see the problem.

  27. marlina

    how cool is he!!!!!!

  28. T.R

    yeah our president is having a good time to bad they lost am sure there was i lot of seart severce around him. he need a breack time to time.

  29. why?

    #7 i know right? lol…cheesing like shit

  30. Andrea

    As usual, my black people are always easily swayed by style instead of substance. That is why collectively we will never be powerful. Do I think that Obama deserves a break like anyone else with a full time job? YES. The problem is that most African-Americans refuse to dig beneath his sexy smile, the beautiful first daughters, and Michelle’s sense of style.

    Are you all aware of his stance on spying? NAFTA? The Patriot Act?
    The death penalty?
    Racial profiling? Welfare reform?
    What about his stance on the situation in Darfur? Cuba? Jamaica? Haiti? Zimbabwe?

    Instead of quickly calling someone a “hater” just because they happen to think outside of the box, take a look at how Obama has talked and flip-floped and voted on these issues because it is these issues that DIRECTLY affect the lives of African-Americans as well as black people all over the world.

    Pay attention and stop falling for the wolf in sheep’s clothing….Kool-Aid was never good for us anyway.

    —————————————————-

    Are you? If not, do some research or fall back…

    Barack Obama is for racial profiling…really…SMH

    I don’t understand folks who just throw random nonsense out and think it will stick…yeah, some of his positions I don’t agree with such as him falling in line on FISA, but does that mean I should just stop supporting him outright.

    Don’t make perfect the enemy of the good.

    Or maybe you are just a hater for no good reason…it is pretty ignorant to assume that those who support him automatically don’t know his positions. You know what happens when you assume….so try not to do that…

  32. LINDA

    How can you not just love the first family. This country might be in shambles, but he is trying and he is also living. President Obama didn’t create this mess. Let the President enjoy his life. Mr President and his wife are very smart in beautiful people. This country is a mess it was a mess when he got and it will be a mess when he leave. Thank you for keeping it real Mr. President. and Frist Lady. We love you guys take care of yourselves and the children enjoy life and please please don’t let america stress you out. First Lady Mrs Michelle Obama your portrait of you is flawless.

  33. Mr2DamnGood

    President Obama is such a ROCK STAR!! He is turnin’ out the Presidency… Only Bill Clinton was cool like that, but I have to say Obama is definitely taking it to a whole ‘nother level. Gotta love it.

  34. dree

    Omg he’s so cute with that Wizards jersey, even though they suck horribly. IT’s good to know that he’s only a metro ride away, so I can go to the white house if i’m having any problems I can take it up with him, one day i’ll just go knock on the gate if he’s that down to earth lol

  35. sho you right

    lol; you got them hat’n undermining repub’s on one side and on the other you have our class act first lady. michelle was probaly pull’n that coattail and the prez said its time to turn some corners. let me catch a game and some beer. oh gw bush wouldn’t even stick his head out the door. man after a full day and a full plate of dealing w/ fakes and phoneys and crooks of all kinds its good to see our prez, like jerry butler sings just “cool’n out”.

  36. JROCKA

    @31 how can you say stuff like that? you are bringing up stuff that has nothing to do with the picture. Damn, he is our president no matter what, but he is still a human and have the right to do what he want to do in his free time. Unlike the last eight years that we had to suffer because people voted for Bush,had no other choice to fall victim to what he was dishing out which was bull ish. Now I don’t usually comment but when you said that most African Americans refuse to dig beneath his sexy smile, did you? The US was f-u-c-k-e-d up in 8 years he is at least trying to correct it. He didn’t say it was going to take overnight,but did say it was going to happen. PATIENCE…. Change is coming. I am in full support of my president and his duties. Let the man take in a game. HE’S A MAN…

    **********************************************************************************************
    I think everytime he comes out I think they should start playing “Swagga Like Me” as his theme, cause he have entirely too much..

  37. bassackwards

    where r the secret service men

  38. UM...I GUESS

    aww… i love it.

  39. kaye

    That’s my pRESIDENT AND HE IS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH HIS CONSTITUENCY. hE HAS DONE MORE IN 40 DAYS THAT ANY BUSH DID IN 16 YEARS. GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. Jscene

    Aww, its good to see him enjoying himself and doing something he likes. Shows he’s real and human. I like the realness of President Obama and Michelle. I thought it was so cute that when they asked Michelle which celeb she most wanted to meet, and she Jada Pinkett Smith. That tells alot about her, because she wanted to meet someone non-fake. SHe could have picked so many people, but Jada was her pick. I love it. Actually that would be great if Barack and Michelle and Jada and Will becomes close friends.

  41. yan

    obama’s cooler than the other side of the pillow….

  42. Quai

    man o man! i dnt thnk OBAMA no how SEXI he is! whoo whee

  43. nycqueen

    and this is the reason i voted 4 him…cuz he’s kool as shit!…dont get it twisted, the man is working hard but i rather see my president relaxed enuff to clear his mind and make reasonable decisions. u go boy!!

  44. Michelle Obama’s cool and all but she kinda reminds me of Fire Marshall Bill from in living coler, i dont know if its her teeth of what

  48. Oy-Vey

    #48 what miracle are you expecting from Obama?
    You talk like our economy got in the bad state that it’s in now overnight!
    The problem didn’t happen in a day, so don’t expect it to get fixed in a day. Let the man lay out his plan. I’m tired of all you whiners! The man hasn’t even been in office for 100 damn days yet and people already talking out the side of they neck! Once again, anyone expecting quick results and everything to be honkey-dorey overnight is not living in a reality based frame of mind.
    ———————————————————————————

    And to those yackin’ about how Obama shouldn’t be at the game #9- where were y’all when Bush was out playin’ golf or always taking off to his damn ranch in Texas? So hell no I don’t care if Obama goes to a darn basketball game or does an interview! Big whoop
    ———————————————————————————–

    And #31 when it comes to where he stands on certain issues, no president is perfect. You can’t possibly expect to like everything or agree with everything a president or politician is for. You gotta take the bad with the good. Anyone who feels the EXACT same way on every position that there politician does, is dangerous in my book.

  49. Q*U*E*E*`N

    lmmfao @ all the haters…. i feel the hateration in here… it’s disgusting!!! but oh so funny!!! lmmfao!!!!

    I LOVE MY PRESIDENT!!! GOOOOOOOOOOO OBAMAAAAAAA!!! he’s super sexy…. oh so charismatic…… i just wanna suck on his bottom lip and pinch his cheeks (not on his face)….. lol!!! too cute!!! ugh…. oh so sexy!!! WOOT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

  50. BLACK IVORY

    he is adorableeeeeee…love that man!!!

  51. Tyisha

    Obama has to go to NBA games,and do other regular stuff like that,because it helps him to stay level headed and grounded.Before,he ran for President,Obama was a Community organizer,he is use to going out and attending events and connecting with average people in the community. He was not part ot the uppity Washington political circle.All throughout his professional life,he has never been the type of person that isolates himself,besides you would go crazy if you locked yourself up in the White House.

  52. tellemwhyyoumad

    #9: No different than Bush who spent 80% of his Presidency ON VACAY … at the ranch, playing golf … i.e. places where yo azz is not allowed. I like to see my President unwinding while watching a basketball game with the folks. Good for him. He has the most stressful job in Earth right now … he deserves a break when he can get one.

    He’s barely been President over a month; I’m not understanding how folks think President Obama can fix 8 years worth of horrible policies in one damned month. I don’t care who’s President … you’re in for a long ride folks … buckle up.

  53. IF HE CAN'T DO IT, NOBODY CAN - goooooOooooooooBAMA!

    GOOOOOOBAMA!!!! :)

  54. WhatIThinkIs

    This is CRAZY!!!!!
    Obama is the man for real. No other pres. would be at a bball game.
    I LOVE OBAMA!!!

    @ANDREA you must only watch FOX… clearly theres alot more going on than you think, dont assume because people make statements like “Hes so cool” that they don’t know anything about him or what hes done… RUDE
