President Obama Sings Happy Birthday To ABC's Sunlen Miller 

DateWednesday, April 6, 2011 at 8:58PM | AuthorKelly Ann Collins |

President Obama popped into Air Force One's press cabin this evening to wish ABC News' Sunlen Miller a happy birthday.

One of the flight attendants brought in a big, chocolate raspberry cake with candles on it, according to Abby D. Phillip, a White House reporter (via email). "Obama held it for a bit while Sunlen blew out the candles."

"This is your third birthday with me?" Barack asked.

"This is my fourth," Sunlen said.

"How come you look so much better than me?" he asked with a big smile.

Just a few minutes later, Air Force One touched down at Andrews Air Force baseat 8:07 p.m.

Sunlen turned 30 today.

Obama's Next Campaign Slogan: #Winning?

DateWednesday, March 30, 2011 at 3:15PM | AuthorKelly Ann Collins |

We've been wondering how President Obama is planning to trump his epic 2008 "Change You Can Believe In" campaign slogan.

And now, we have an idea.

As POTUS spoke to about 1,000 Georgetown University students at McDonough Memorial Gymnasium today, about the future of energy, we noticed something that reminded us of, well, @CharlieSheen.

Standing in front of a "Winning the Future" banner, the President bashed energy slogans like "Drill, Baby, Drill." And then, he said: "Winning the future. American energy."

Hashtag WINNING!

State of the Union? Colorful

DateTuesday, January 25, 2011 at 11:25PM | AuthorKelly Ann Collins |

Ah, America.

The melting pot.

We were happy to see all the USA's beautiful colors represented during President Obama's State of the Union address.

However, as our friend, Gabe, so eloquently put it: "I think the orange one is about to cry."

Tears of joy? Probably not.

Repubs, media flip-flopping over President Obama's shoes

DateWednesday, January 5, 2011 at 5:02PM | AuthorKelly Ann Collins |

Republicans are flipping out because of the commander-in-chief's choice of vacation shoes.

Silly nillies.

Of course, we wouldn't recommend wearing flip flops in the White House, but this is definitely a fashion first.

JFK wore deck shoes at Martha's Vineyard; President Reagan wore cowboy boots on the ranch; and now, President Obama is officially the first president to wear flip flops (to an ice cream shop in Hawaii).

Los Angeles Lakers, President Obama and Boys & Girls Clubs team up to help wounded soldiers

DateMonday, December 13, 2010 at 3:52PM | AuthorKelly Ann Collins |

Kids say the darndest things ... to NBA stars.

Today, several Los Angeles Lakers players skipped The White House and visited the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington with President Obama to receive their accolades in recognition of their 2010 NBA Championship.

After the ceremony, several children, who made care packages for wounded soldiers with the sports stars, had a lot to say at the event -- but not about basketball.

Child: "How do you get so tall?
Lamar Odom: "Doing your homework."

Eight-Year-Old girl: "I watch 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.'"
Lamar Odom: (Silent smile.)


The Lakers visited the White House after winning last year's title and also held a basketball clinic for local students there, but this time President Obama said he thought he'd put them to work since he joked that some of the team's players, like Kobe Bryant, have been at the White House so many times that they could give their own tours.

Coach Phil Jackson, and players Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol participated in the workshop.
