I'm really sad right now. An icon, Michael Jackson passed away, and as an 80s baby, it's the first of the recent deaths to really just shock me. I'm sure I'm not alone, so in an effort to cheer up those who like me are just a little out of it right now, here's a mindless photo diary with lots of adorable pics of the Obama family from today. Enjoy!
Here's a slideshow from this morning's event:
Luau pics over the jump. . .
Look who got dunked:
he was still feeling confident in this one ~lol~
man down!
Word on the street is Rahm got in the dunk tank too, I want to see those pics! LOL
if you missed the clip of Michelle doing a Hula Move and Obama "appreciating" the move ~lol~ here it is:
And I'm just going to say it, I don't appreciate the title Politico gave it. I was going to link from YouTube, but the only ones I could find were embedding disabled.
Speaking of "hula":
UPDATE
Sasha Obama was the star of the first-ever White House luau, wowing the crowd with a pitch so tough that the 8-year-old sank her dad's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, in the dunking booth, according to Sleuth informants who were there.
Dad, wearing a purple lei, followed suit, sinking Rahm on his first try.
President Obama took the tradition of the annual White House picnic for members of Congress into uncharted territory tonight. There were hula dancers in grass skirts, fire dancers, inflatable sharks floating in the pond, volleyball and a feast of Hawaiian delicacies.
And there was plenty of arm-twisting going on behind the scenes at the party on the South Lawn in hopes of getting enough members of Congress to jump aboard and support the president's energy cap-and-trade bill, which he hopes the House will take up Friday before leaving for the Fourth of July recess.
