Video- Obamas share private moment in public eye

Too fracking cute.

Washington (CNN) - On the driveway right outside the White House briefing room, a place where President Barack Obama rarely strolls during public hours, CNN caught a rare and personal exchange between the first couple.

Flanked by Secret Service agents and personal aide Reggie Love, Obama spotted his wife near the West Wing entrance and tried to get her attention. "Hey FLOTUS," he shouted, then added, "I was just looking for you." FLOTUS is the acronym for first lady of the United States.

As CNN photojournalist Bill Alberter videotaped the encounter, the president joked, "Stop it guys, I haven't seen my wife in a while."

The first lady, who seemed poised to deliver an affectionate greeting, was thwarted when the president said, "Let's not do this in front of the cameras."

Instead they held hands and walked together into the West Wing like a married couple that had not seen each other since one of them made a quick jaunt to Prague to sign a new nuclear arms treaty.

You're about to get a lickin'

I just got home and found this e-mail from F.I.L. Cutest. Thing. EVER.

You probably do not clean your computer screens very often, and it's hard to do the inside, so here is my present to you. Just click on the word "here", high- lighted in yellow above, and presto, the inside of your screen will be

cleaned.

That should keep you smiling until I can catch up.

Here is a big bucket-o'-cute:





Paddy's and my favorite part was when Bo barked at Santa. He'll get some bone-shaped coal (not clean coal, because that doesn't exist) in his little doggie stocking if he's not careful.

Woof!

Obama reads to kids at Boys & Girls Club

It's just your run of the mill story til you get to this uber adorable part-

It wasn't long before Obama had to go back to the White House. But not before a 7-year-old boy named Niko Letterlough stole the scene.

Niko asked Obama to come back to visit sometime and play him in foosball, a tabletop soccer-style game in which players try to knock a ball in a goal.

"Are you a pretty good foosball player?" Obama asked. "You know, I hate getting beat."

"I'll let you win," Niko said.

Then the boy smiled and confidently gave the president a fist bump.

The coolest, cutest geek ever! I love this guy:

OMB Director Peter Orszag explains a new pedometer challenge for federal employees. The voluntary challenge hopes to promote healthy competition between government employees based on existing or developing walking habits.

Mr. Orszag kicks off the competition with a stroll to the newly opened farmers market near the White House.

Video- Obama writes student a note for missing school

Too damned cute. Must be used to writing notes for kids missing school.

A man stood to ask a question and said he had his 10-year-old daughter with him and she was skipping her last day at school to be there.

"I hope she doesn't get in trouble," the man said.

"Does she need me to write a note?" the president asked. "No, I'm serious."

The president asked the girl's name -- Kennedy.

"That's a cool name," the president said, then wrote a note on the lectern, stepped down into the audience and delivered the note to the girl.
