On Sunday, Sasha Obama wore a sweater with a unicorn on it to a basketball game. By Thursday, unicorn sweaters had gone extinct. (Is "extinct" the word for a sweater selling out? Maybe it should be.)
Twelve-year-old Sasha Obama went shopping in New York City yesterday, and today, the New York Daily News published a small photo-driven item titled "Sasha Obama Steps Out in Soho." The daughter of Barack Obama was wearing the teeny tiny shorts of the sort Chloë Sevigny calls
Matthew Boyle, a "reporter" at Breitbart.com, just yesterday penned an exclusive piece in which he abandons journalistic conventions as well as common decency by revealing the location of Sasha and Malia Obama's spring break. The first sentence of his article reads: "A source tipped Breitbart News off to the First…
Last week, President Barack Obama and his family were in Hawaii for their annual Christmas vacation. Photographers captured several moments of POTUS during the trip, including a jaunt to a shave ice shop and a golf outing. Some vacation shots, like this one, are actually released by the White House itself. But when a…
Tonight, the Mitt hits the fan when President Obama and Governor Romney face each other in a talking points slapfest we call a Presidential Debate for the first time this election season. But today's also another important date in the Obama family calendar: Barack and Michelle's 20th anniversary. To celebrate, the…
Is a book that focuses on Michelle Obama's key role in the White House automatically for chicks? That's what one reviewer thought — and his comments may be more important than he knows.
Get ready to aww: President Obama is coaching his daughter Sasha's basketball team, and he's not taking his duties lightly. "He hasn't missed a game," the First Lady said of his devotion. "I think he was hoping to get this weekend off, but I'm gone." Apparently, if there's no game scheduled, he'll take his kids and their…
The ostensibly "explosive" White House tell-all The Obamas came out
Depending on your feelings on Meghan McCain, this clip either shows that we all misspeak sometimes, or demonstrates the dangers of nepotism. Today on MSNBC, McCain declared the Obamas deserve an "emoticon" of privacy, then repeated the word in case anyone didn't hear her. Feel free to speculate on what that might look…
New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor has a new book coming out this week called The Obamas, about—as you might have guessed from the title—the Obamas.

Palace sources say the Obamas aren't invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding. Since it isn't a "state occasion" they aren't obliged to invite dignitaries they've never met. Just don't expect Americans to buy any more commemorative engagement china.
After a Secret Service agent was spotted near Sweet E's Cupcakes shop on Martha's Vineyard, vacationers and news crews gathered, requiring police for crowd control. The Obamas missed the scene, as they were actually dining at Nancy's restaurant miles away.
The latest explanation for the departure of White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers: she didn't send Christmas cards to some of Obama's major donors. Although given the flak the Obamas got for sending kids ornaments
