Soccer dad-in-chief

By GottaLaff

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama make their way to board Air Force One Saturday en route for New York City.

Ooo, they always look so purty when they step out:

President Obama may hold the title of commander-in-chief, but on Saturday he donned another cap: Soccer dad.

The president, dressed in jeans and a navy polo shirt, and first lady Michelle Obama ventured from the White House to watch daughter Malia's soccer team — the Tsunamis — take to the field, according to pool reports. For the record: Malia's team won.

The first couple, known for having weekend date nights, is also making a visit Saturday night to New York City for what the White House is calling a personal visit. The New York Times reports that the Obamas will see the Broadway show, “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone.”

Also, instead of taking the larger Air Force One plane for their trip north, the Obamas are taking a smaller plane, a G-3, which will then become Air Force One once he's on board.

The press pool will be traveling in a separate aircraft, a G-5, and a G-3 will carry White House support staff, according to the pool report.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest cites “efficiency” — as in fuel efficiency — as the reason the big plane is staying in the hanger and the smaller planes are being utilized, the pool report said.

Practicing what they preach. Good thinking.
