Father-daughter day?

On Saturday, the president coached his daughter Sasha's basketball team, according to Politico - even though Sasha was MIA.

You guys will always be bearer of bad news when it comes to this president
Glad to see he is so involved in the serious business of running the country.
4 more years of obama is gonna be great!
Hey, " hillroy and Rick " , What is wrong with you idiots ? He was doing what most parents do in this country. Giving some time to his daughters school. He was on the list of volunteers and it was his turn. His daughter did not have to be there. He is not chained to the desk and neither should he be.
Give the man a break. Oh, I forgot, he is black isn't he ?
Hey Rick McDaniel, You don't think the children are part of the country? I would be hard pressed to think of anyone who is more involved in the running of this Nation, as well as actually caring about the education and future employment opportunities for our kids.
Why don't you grow up and stop with the jr. high backstabbing.
No time for play you inexperienced community organizer......with all the chaos going on in this country, high unemployment, cost of living rising, stagflation, unions trying to control us, obamacare costing jobs, illegals crossing both our borders, wars and this guy is campaigning for 2012.....NO NO NO.....we have had enough....democrats and republicans and the tea party....we have all had enough of this extreme liberal president........STOP obama IN 2012.....vote Republican in 2012. It's the right thing to do.
Who cares about Obama. He is nothing more than common gutter trash.
Despite Obama is doing good for the nation, nation is divided as never before, because he is black....plain black president....if it were Bush, that robbed the nation, it is o.k....what a pity...Go Obama 2012!!!!
What a clown ! Just what we need in charge of our country in a time of crisis.
Well, you got to be fit-to-lead.
President Obama has a very-well balanced and healthier leader than any American Presidents before him. Physically and Mentally healthier ended, with no down-time has been wasted for hospital visits.
For future American President elections; mental and physical health must mandatory.
I pefer a Prez that can multi task and knows his own policies well enough that he doesnt have to memorize them!
That would be day when the POTUS do (or don't do) something and NO GOPer will show up and say: He should have done this other way...
