How did President Obama and his family spend Thanksgiving?
Just like you: eating way more food than anyone should.
But before the President of the United States sits down to enjoy a Thanksgiving spread, he has a few important phone calls to make.
Sarah Jessica Parker is heading to Washington DC and will become an official member of an official White House committee.
No. Really.
Vice President Joe Biden is going to install her and everything.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded President Barack Obama the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. Citing his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” the Committee noted Obama’s outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation. Congratulations Mr. President!
Here is the official announcement from the Nobel Peace Prize website:
President Barack Obama appeared on David Letterman last night and talked about everything from his family to health care reform. And Obama showed off his keen sense of humor and comic timing, as seen in this clip when Dave asked him about Jimmy Carter’s theory that the recent vitriol and hatred directed towards him in many town hall meetings and debates is fueled by racism. “It’s important to realize that I was actually black before the election,” Obama deadpanned, drawing a huge laugh from the crowd and leaving Dave in hysterics. See the video after the jump.
Sure, he probably puts in 27-hour days, but Barack Obama doesn’t neglect his health. President Obama and the First Family are pretty serious about fitness. Obama, father to Sasha and Malia, says, “Since I was a kid – when I looked at my grandfather at 55 – he already looked old. These days, at 55, people are in the prime of life.”
President Obama is on the cover of the October issue of Men’s Health. In it, he jokes about the bowl of apples he keeps in the Oval Office. “It was our first step toward health reform.” And yeah, health-care reform has been a big issue with Obama for a while now…starting even before his Presidential campaign.
“Even when I was a community organizer,” President Obama says, “I was paid $13,000 a year, I benefited from the fact that the guy who hired me insisted that I get health care as part of the package. And, you know, at the age of 24, 25, you think you’re immortal. So I was thinking to myself, boy, I could use that money to pay the rent. But he was very firm about everybody having health care, and I think that he did me a great service during that time.”
Six days a week, Obama exercises, even while balancing the job of President with his role as a father of two girls. It’s the job, actually, that makes him really appreciate the gym even more.
“My blood pressure is pretty low, and I tend to be a healthy eater. So I probably could get away with cutting my workouts back a little bit,” President Obama says. “The main reason I do it is just to clear my head and relieve me of stress.”
See, that’s where Barack and I differ. Me, I just have Guinness to relieve the stress.
I know there are so many important things going on in the world today. There are choices to make, convincing to do, but apparently the most important thing right now for Barack Obama to do is to go get some new jeans.
At least that’s the way the media portrayed it.
This just in: President Barack Obama was NOT, I repeat, NOT checking out a young woman’s ass while at the G8 Summit. Thank goodness, because everyone knows a glimpse of tail can seriously impede one’s ability to make important decisions regarding economic, environmental and global security issues.
