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.

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?

Who would boo them for kissing? What horrible people:-(

What happened is that they were booed the first time the Kiss Cam came up and they held back on kissing LOL (All the pics in this post are from the kiss cam folks came around to them the second time)

LOL of course. Which is hilar considering they were only booed because Barack *didnt* kiss Michelle the first time the kiss cam came around.

OIC. Funnily enough, the piece didn't make that clear IIRC. It was framed, at least at the start, as them being booed as being good commercial fodder for the Romney campaign.

Your Liberal Media, ladies and gentlemen.

When I first heard this story, it was that Barack tried to Kiss Michelle and Michelle was all "absolutely not" the first time around. Then they got booed, and Michelle gave in the second time.

LOL, when I considered following my Uncle's steps and taking the same Journalism course at the same college as he did he told me I would get further with one pulled out of a box of Cracker Jacks.

THAT'S HILARIOUS. I thought I came up with the Cracker Jacks reference myself, but perhaps there's a pre-existing pun given, well, the state of modern journalism.

This was the first time I've heard someone else say it! But this particular course, the rest of them are fine, was considered the worst for Journalism in my area. My uncle couldn't find a job after for so long that he ended up saying screw it and partnered with his brother and ran two pet stores.
