President Obama Kissed Michelle On The USA Basketball Jumbotron
POTUS and FLOTUS had shown up on the Kiss Cam earlier in the night, when Michelle turned him down. But you know what they say: if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Here is the amusing failed attempt #1, from earlier in the night.

This is successful attempt #2. The Obamas are magnificently adorable.

And here are all the photos I could find on the wire, because this is wonderful and heartening and all sorts of other giddy adjectives.

This is the President and First Lady kissing on the Jumbotron at a USA National Team basketball game. Is there anything more goofily American?

Malia got a t-shirt!

SO SMILEY.

AHHHHHHH.

Source will legitimately stop believing in love if the Obamas ever split up

I post about only the most important, hard hard hitting issues. I'm not responsible for any ugly sobbing, explosion of feels or increases in faith in humanity. Also, Malia is the best.

Now excuse me while I curl up and look at these photos and let the adorable wash over me.

I saw this on the UK news earlier, its wonderful. Can you imagine other politicians doing something like this? I can't because Obama is not like other politicians. He seems relatively normal for one!

oncenefarious 19th-Jul-2012 03:58 pm (UTC)

YES! Exactly!

astridmyrna 17th-Jul-2012 03:50 pm (UTC)

Malia cracks me up.

"OMG YOU GAIZ ARE ON THE KISS CAM! AGAIN! DO EET!"

I probably would have stuck my head under my shirt. XD

There WAS one moment where it looked like the kid was totally resisting THAT urge:

Because dancing parents. ("I'd rather watch you make out.")

lolzz @ Secret Service agent behind them being all *not amused* and then staring when they're actually kissing.

ETA: Oh yeah, he's gonna be in Austin today! Well, not like I'm going to get to see him or anything, but yeah.

That one Secret Service dude in the light grey sportcoat looks like a displeased cadaver. Standing around looking tough all day must be very wearing on the nerves.

ashfajhrgieqhcbccl too adorable for words.

And yet the top of the hour radio news piece on it was all about them getting booed. What the hell, man?

FYI, on the first video for some reason one of the related video previews is of the face-eating victim. The picture's a bit gruesome, so you might want to put a warning up? Or maybe that's not coming up for anyone else, idk. It was just a bit of a shock from all the Obama family squee.
