President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama look up at themselves on the large in-house video screen as they appear on "Kiss Cam'.
Updated at 8:06 a.m. ET: President Barack Obama, an avid basketball fan, and first lady Michelle Obama took in the USA-Brazil game at the Verizon Center in Washington on Monday night.
The Obamas even appeared on the "Kiss Cam," the in-house video that spotlights kissing couples on jumbo TV screens during a break in the game.
The Obamas did not kiss during the first half when the camera focused on them, NBC News reports. They even received roars and some boos from the crowd, according to The Associated Press.
But in the fourth quarter, the "Kiss Cam" once again pointed at the first couple and the president was ready: He put his arm around his wife and planted a big smooch and a hug on the first lady as the crowd roared with approval.

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama were watching the USA-Brazil basketball game in Washington on Monday when they were surprised with an appearance on the venue's "Kiss Cam." NBC's Natalie Morales reports.

the guy in the back is completely uninterested. Oh it's just the president, see him all the time.
I am surprised MSNBC would open this forum, knowing it will just be another flood gate for vitriol towards the president and his wife...
Anyway, another moment why I like this guy.
Coming from the south, I will vote for a president who can hang out with the guys over a cold beer anytime, as oppossed to some Rich fake dude thats got a habit of shipping jobs overseas and sneering at folks like me...
Obama 2012.
Secret Service, duh. They do see them all the time. You really think they'd have randoms behind the President?
How stupid? And we put this in print !!
Like this ass ever hangs with normal people!!!! Please give me a break. You are a fool, obama only has time for normal people when he is using them for votes. Otherwise its obama and his hollywood buddies drinking and doing drugs and spending OUR money!!!!! Bet he couldn't pass a drug test.
i wish i could afford to take time off and go to a basketball game!it wouldnt be basketball cause i can watch thugs shooting hoops up at the state prison. but it would be nice to be able afford to do anything
fhill,
did you even READ the article? It was the USA-Brazil game aka OLYMPIC teams? Perhaps you need to read before commenting to stop looking like a moron.
BTW, do you think that the POTUS, no matter who he/she is, should work 24/7/365 with NO time off whatsoever - no sleep, no rest, no nothing? Do YOU work 24/7/365, no time off, no sleep, no rest? No? didn't think so, moron!
JKDL,
You know trolls don't read. They only type their marching orders verbatim. Let's expose them all as fools.
Garbage. The Socialist Dictator and his Royal Significant Other. What trash. For the boob above who is worried that some candidates "sneer" at him. Wow, what does Obama do? Oh, thats right, dont talk about reality, lets all live in the "perfect - ville" that this "genius" president has built for us:
Let's Blame GWB - (but then, let's get his programs approved again)
Let's complain about Romney's business ethics (but lets forget that Obama has no ethics whatsoever as he allows babies to be killed in unlicensed abortion mills and forces Christians to ignore their faith)
Raises the flag of his "faith" in homosexuals as he allows homos more rights than normal people.
Ignores normal people in favor of allowing abnormal homo people their "right" to marry. Right? REALLY??? It is a right??????? Gosh, I know some normal people that should not be allowed to marry.
Hasnt done a thing about jobs. People have been out of work for years and instead of helping them King OBama allows laws that send monies ($200 billion in his latest effort) over to China so they can make steel to sell to us. Great idea there genuis POTUS.
And we are interested in him kissing this spouse of his?? He is kissing the entire population of the USA off as he sends us into Hell as the Socialist States of America. Our grandkids, if they are even allowed to be born, will wonder what the words "job" and "freedom" mean.
JKLD: 24/7/365? In this economy, hell yes I think he should. He's taken too many vacays with our economy in the tank. And of course he needed a 2nd chance to kiss, cuz he's used to kissing a$$ not lips. Can't wait until we have an actual business man in the white house, instead of one who wants socialism in between smoking weed and snorting coke and trying to act like he knows the normal joes.
RWING.... the first four words of your post prove you are a cretin. Game, Set, Match.
Everything beyond that is hyperbole.
What is with the "open mouth of surprise"??????? She has never been to a sports event before????
Oh, wait, sorry, my bad, I forgot it is all about perception. If she can make people believe they are "normal" then they will win the WH with 100 % of the vote. That is a prophecy that King Obama got from Musharaffatoasterweight El Abigdabofpaintintheface - the supreme sheet wearer of the Muslim Bros.
If King Obama can get up at 3 am every morning for the next 14 days and pray to O Boodabodinerdanger and light a candle for the Spirit of the Wax Image that is Called Candle then King Obama will have that going for him - which is good. According to him.
Here2Opine... You obviously believe anything you are told. A smart man would research facts and not spew crap he heard from Limpballs or Beck or wherever. If you want to be nothing more than a parrot then I can offer you a cage at no cost.
Gosh Insane, thanks for "keeping score". How child like. Wonderful.
Obama is still a loser without a birth certi. who has no idea what he is doing and will most likely continue to rail against GWB all the while trying to keep GWB's programs in place because they are all that is working for King O.
Hypocritical idiots whining about the POTUS, again. Here's something to think about in those tiny narrow minds:
Yep, we can bring up Ole' GW regarding his constant bar-b-que outings at his Crawford, TX ranch while our boys are getting killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yep, Mission Accomplished, that useless, lying, no good b@st@rd!
Yep, the GW bank bailout (that the stupid lemmings on the right think Obama enacted)
Yep, "Let's get a business man in the WH" BS line. Look what happened when we had GW in (a supremely failed "business man"). We deregulated this country into a global meltdown.
Stupid folks refuse to engage in critical research before drawing an informed conclusion. That's why bloated drug-addicted milliionaires, such as Lint-Balls, can so easily brainwash these fools. Just like the Nazi's brainwashed their rightwingnut idiots into vitriol, hate, and war.
BTW, Romney is a prime example of what happens when the uber-wealthy get bored, they run for president to expand their Rolodex of business contacts. If he's so fantastic, why the hell didn't the Repubs nominate this second-rate flip-flopper in 2008? Oh, yeah. This goes back to that "Stupid folks refuse to engage in critical research before drawing an informed conclusion" point.
JK - smell the roses
This is a great first couple. Good to see regular human side of theirs.
The kid and a guy in the back - instead of looking to the couple - are watching the TV! That's how much Americans are glued to the TV!! LoL!!
Ugly, nasty comments about a sweet, benign photo come from ugly hearted, friendless, pathetic posters.
This article should be filed under hate bait. Cause it sure is hauling in the idiots and bigots.
Obama may not be perfect but, mittens is downright evil!
@!$%# that moneygrubber! Obama/Biden 2012!
Good for you Mr President! PDA is not shown enough anymore... The negatives on here are sad-sacks that do not know how to enjoy or appreciate life.
Wow all it takes is a photo of the president kissing his wife to infuriate the republicans and get them posting angry, ignorant nonsense.
Junicon, if you know many conservatives then I am sure you have noticed that most of them are miserable folks who hate themselves and everybody else. Nothing stirs up those that hate their life like seeing someone else happy.
PAS-5293270, JK from PA, you're each suspended for a day for violating #1 of the Code of Honor.
I wonder if those two bald Secret service agents in the back ground like..........Brazilians
The Prez is so handsome and romatic!! Can I be Michelle for one day? Preferably one day that Barak spends at home!!
Handsome? You have got to get serious. Gross? Yes, they both are. What an atrocity, this formulated couple that is worse than the law couple of Bill and Hill. The lover of Muslims and his significant other who happens to allow him to sit next to her Highness.
This is our first couple??? Reeeeeeeeally? Can we please get choice # 2 ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a conservative all I can say is good for you Mr. President. You and I may not agree on political issues but its nice to know that you know how to be a regular guy and husband just like the rest of us!
Rwing, considering your rabid, hateful posts; I wonder if this is all because you knocked up the high school skank, and got married in front of her hillbilly dad's 12 gauge?
Must suck laying around your dirty single-wide with the beer gut and all going on, wondering what life would've been like had you engaged in education. Oh, dear! You may even have ended up an intelligent Progressive!
Looks are subjective, but your bigotry is obvious!
There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with the president and voicing your opinions but, somepeople are just being stupid.
I guess some folks are just lucky that the 1st amendment grants them the right to be a loud mouthed idiot!
Here! here! livinginthewoods :)
Awww. How cute! None of the 13 victims of the Ft Hood terrorist attack have received Purple Hearts due to the Obama administration's Muslim love affair! Disgusting! They deemed it "workplace violence." Are you kidding? What was 9-11, a domestic dispute? The sooner the Marxist couple can be alone and not in the White House the better for the country and the world.
Black unemployment is at 14% and two of them are sharing a kiss...yippee...
Hugh old buddy-----------just take deep breaths.
Mr. Obama will be leaving the White House in 2016.
Sorry Pal---that's the way it is---try to calm down----you'll be OK.
Hugh Jassol ~
Your screen name suits you to a tee.
....but seriously, I hope you get some medical attention soon as the Ativan appears to have lost its efficacy.
Hugh Jassol:
US Army regulation 600-8-22 describes the requirements and process for awarding the Purple Heart:
The victims at Ft. Hood were not involved in combat so they don't meet the qualifications. Furthermore, it isn't the President that gives the award or determines if it's justified, it's the soldiers commanding officer's decision. Whether we like it or not, those are the rules.
As for the "Obama administration's Muslim love affair," Talk to Bin Laden and all the rest of the al Queada and Taliban leaders that the Obama administration has killed about all that love.
As for the Obamas being Marxists, you need to do a little research on Marxism. They are anything but Marxists.
Keep eating that poison Fox "News" and the GOP party of no keep feeding you. Regurgitate it all you want, it will never make it true. Go ahead and be a sucker, vote for the rich guy, against your own best interests; that is, unless you're a millionaire, which clearly you aren't.
dude i understand you do not like obama because glenn beck told you he was a secret muslim and blah blah blah and you were dumb enougn to beleive it but this is just the man kissing his wife keep that crap off of here.
Hugh Jassol...
Any chance you are one the many who buy viagra and are simply jealous of a Prez that gets some? Any chance you never wore a uniform and love to spew BS? Just asking.... if I'm wrong I'm sure you will have no problem in correcting me.
You are a Hugh Jassol aren't you?
Hoodie 2290570 - If you are going to quote Army regulations, get a clue. From AR 600-8-22:
b. The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the United States and per 10 USC 1131, effective 19May 1998, is limited to members of the Armed Forces of the United States who, while serving under componentauthority in any capacity with one of the U.S. Armed Services after 5 April 1917, has been wounded or killed, or whohas died or may hereafter die after being wounded—
(6) After 28 March 1973, as the result of an international terrorist attack against the United States or a foreignnation friendly to the United States, recognized as such an attack by the Secretary of Army, or jointly by theSecretaries of the separate armed services concerned if persons from more than one service are wounded in the attack.
Given that the Secretary of the Army is not going to go against the guidance received from the POTUS, no award of the Purple Heart will be given. Purple Hearts were awarded to those service members who died on 9/11, as a result of terrorist attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon.
AMEN BROTHER!!!!!
Michael Phoenix, 2016? In your dreams pal. Anyone stupid enough to vote this egotistical jerk back into office needs a shrink. Our country is a laughing stock. We can't even help our own save their jobs and homes, yet we feel the need to tell other countries what to do? I don't care if it's a dem or repub who is elected, as long as it's someone who had business sense and held a real job. Something has got to change, and I'm not talking about Obamas lies about change, hope and transparancy.
Michael Phoenix,
The only way the Obamanation will leave the White House in 2016 is if he was there as a visitor
1/20/2013...the end of an error.
Super PAC money is hard at work on the vine this morning I see. How could any American who ever worked a day in their life vote for romney?
If conservative super PAC money manages to elect mittens as POTUS, kiss what little freedom you have left, goodbye because it will be privatized like everything else.
Cant, afford to pay RomneyCo Disaster Response Services LLC? Then, let your house burn! You don't deserve to own a home! Don't worry, we have RomneyCo private debtors prisons for the irresponsible made homeless by there own bad decisions.
Can't afford to send your kids to RomneyCo Private Education and Mormon Indoctrination Centers? Shouldn't have had kids! Don't you know how to practice personal responsibility(as long as it's not birth control)? Don't worry we have RomneyCo factory jobs for the children of deadbeats.
Can't afford to pay RomneyCo Law Enforcment Services Inc.? Then, you deserved to get raped! It's not our fault your parents couldn't afford to send you to college. Being irresposible is the same as asking for it!
Can't afford to pay RomneyCo Voter ID Services? What makes you think you deserve to vote? We have to save the votes for the most important citizens, those that are publicly traded!
Can't afford to pay RomneyCo Healthcare Services? Please hurry up and die!
Don't worry we know what is best for people like you. Here, get on this freight train with the rest of your friends and family, and we will send you somewhere where they will make it all better.
Is that the world that conservatives want? I doubt it but, that sure seems to be the way they are headed! @!$%# that!!!!
Just totally relaxed and cool.
We are lucky to have this man as our President.
Romney just seems to be made out of balsa wood.
4 more years--------YES!
....and Hillary over Christie in 2016. Dems through 2020!
Balsa wood!! Perfect!
no mo o - get THIS criminal OUT OF my house.
DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS MUSLIM LOVER.
No MO O in 2012. We have had enough "change", let's "hope" he retires. Vote this bag out.
Christie? LOL. Poster Child for Heart Attack Monthly? Guy's lucky if he's around in '16
Yes, he loves muslims soooo much he killed their hero osama as well as many other muslim extremists.
What did W do? Oh yeah he started a unjustified war for his puppet master dick and said "mission accomplished" then it was all good!
@living
Obama didn't kill Osama the Seals did
Nice couple and he is nice looking. You can always tell a couple love each other when things come natural and you don't have to fake it or perform.
...fake it as in the Romney household, I'm sure. Mitt and the Stepford wife. Worthless.
Too bad for Barry he is always faking and performing...
When things come natural? Is that why they staged a second take?
Mitt and his "Magic Undies" LOL!!!! He gives the term "Out of touch" a whole new meaning! LOL!! Wonder if wifie wears a chastity belt?
Still in Love - The Big O's eyes say it all.
Obama loves himself. He should just kiss himself.
He can kiss my ..................
Rwing, let's finish this for you:
....... fat, lazy, ignorant, dirty, smelly, teabagger rear-end!
JK, You sound like a miserable UGLY person. Have you ever been positive about anything? If you have nothing good to say shut your ugly mouth! LOOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I'm positive Obama/Biden in '12.
PS. Your finger seems to be stuck on the exclamation point. AND, learn to spell, little one.
I think karla has JK and rwing mixed up. I have only seen one obvious loser here this morning.
Meh. So Obama tells a staffer to order the kiss cam guy to do a do over. Political maneuver because of the boos.
It is sad to see someone as jaded as you.
Ya know, the more I think about it, maybe Barack simply decided to kiss Michelle retro actively. This whole time travel thing could be fun. LOL
Right, your post reveals that you have no idea what you are doing.
How is it, um.... game - set - match?
There !! I am a liberal, I do something merely to do it and without any thought or idea. Wonderful!!
Actually, my post refers to the asinine comment by Ed Gillespie on Sunday that Romney "retired retroactively". Talk about a BS cover up... LOL
Your post reveals that you don't have a clue.
As soon as I saw the topic, I knew the hate would start. I like the fact that we have a REAL human being as prez.
Hate? Really? Significant differences in ways and means is now "hate"???
I can no longer have a differing opinion- huh? I have to walk lockstep with the sniveling throngs who adhere to the King Obama garbage and his losing ways.
Everything else is "hate"?? Wow, get a dictionary. And use it.
RWING... I know hate and how Repukes use it and then claim innocence. LOL
The bottom line is simply this... you only open your mouth to change feet.
Sane: LOL! Rwing is a teabagger. I would assume he opens his mouth to change other things, as well?
OneOfTheSane, you know if you keep feeding it, it will never go back under the bridge where it belongs!
Oh No! Don't gobble me up! It's just me Little Billie Goat Gruff!
Obama is going to win the election in a landslide...The American people can always spot a fake from a phony in the long run.
Yes, I can. King O is fake. Obvious from the fact that he HAS DONE NOTHING AT ALL in 4 years - except blame everyone else.
No Mo O in 2012.
Think Ill vote Republican this time.
Why? Do you want to privatize the US government and freedom in general? Superstition, bigotry, and greed! That is all the republicans are selling and I for one am not buying it!
Fred, your words are true. We now live in a world where the genuine love of a couple will be slammed by some simply because of politics.
If you can't say something nice, keep your stupid comments to yourself. This man is as real as it gets an he has tried to rebuild this country. Give him credit. I didn't hear this much bull when the Bush Administration messed up this country. SO shut-up
This "man" is an imposter. He is a fake and he has no real love for this country as previous POTUS have had.
He could care less about the USA. He will go live in his hometown in Kenya.
This "man" is nothing but a fake. Like a plastic flower.
Rwing, here we go, again:
Bush loved his country so much, he went AWOL while in the reserves. Anyone else would've had their @rses shipped right over to Viet Nam, at that time. Not little Georgie, another rich kid that got out of fighting 'cause daddy had connections.
And, don't even start with "Mr. 5 deferments from duty" Dick Cheney!
Love for country, my @rse. You're so deranged!
Okago, couldn't have said it better myself!!
Carter(4 yrs)-1 trillion / Reagan(8yrs) - 1.6T / Bush Sr(4yrs)- 1.5T / Clinton(8 yrs-1.5T
Bush Jr (8 yrs)-4T / OBAMA 3 yrs- 5 trillion ($16077.17/citizen/yr with 311 million citizens) A family of 4 can receive $64K/yr for 3 yrs to pay for their mortgage, student loan + food. - SAD! isn't it?
Yet, the Repubs tried their damnedest to impeach Clinton. Really shows how much the rightwingnuts really give a crap about the "national debt", considering it was Clinton's budget, and Gore's tie-breaker vote in the Senate, that ran a surplus at the end of Clinton's term.
Then, of course, along came Bush/Cheney, with their deregulations, welfare for the wealthy (those damned socialists) and illegal Iraq War.
Odd how the TeaPubs posture to really care about the national debt, when it was Godfather Reagan and his "trickle on the Middle Class" Voodoo economics that propelled our country into debtor stardom.

You are an idiot. The President has nothing to do with them receiving purple hearts. They do not get one because it happened on American soil and it was by another soldier. That is the law or rules or however you want to say it. I'm sure Congress or the Army could change those rules if they wanted to. But of course the redneck racist hillbillies will focus on the President. Get over it loser.
Wow "speardog " you just violated the "code of ethics" of MSNBC. Let's see how long it takes for Tyler to suspend you.
Tyler?

ATTENTION AMERICA...IF you have a "no money worry life" (like buffet or mini-buffet), will you risk your life OR your family to be the PRESIDENT OF USA just to gain POWER/EGO? IF you are not financial well to do, how are you going to help others? Finally, IF a person doesn't help out the unfortunate from the bottom of his/her heart before becoming the PRESIDENT OF USA, do you think he/she will help you when he/she is elected? HMMMM... TIME TO THINK!

Unbelievable...the blind leading the blind. NBC news = Nothing But Crap. You lefties. Wow. Hey Bo Peep...I found all of Jokebama's lost sheep.....
Don't come around talking BS and calling names if you have no point, biash. You only make a fool of yourself.
Right, you are the one to enforce THAT point. Right, thanks.
It means a lot to see YOU write that.
Like it means alot to see King O kiss something. A real lot. Gosh, I am in awe. What a "man".
If that is a "man", then a dog is a "man" when it kisses other dog's rears. Right, great.
RWING... you are an ignorant troll. At this point I will simply allow you to keep proving it.
They love each other. It has been nice to see a President not afraid to show his wife affection in public. It is also nice to have never heard of him straying like previous presidents.
President Obama and first lady need second try on "Kiss Cam".
YA, well they both need a second try on a lot of things!
Barney... is you last name Rubble by chance? I only ask because you sound like a caveman.
Oh, ha ha ha ha ha ha , I get it.
Too bad - you dont get it .
Go vote for King O and when the police squad opens your door and tells you you need to go with them, you better thank "good ol'" King O for that opportunity.
Rwing, the Patriot Act was a rightwingnut concoction. No better people to disassemble the Constitution than the anti-ACLU crowd.
I think it's rather nice. At least he's caught kissing his wife and not someone "else" unlike some of our "other" presidents!!!!
This is good. Skip the ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HsSQtxrw7uU
larry, only the ignorant would fall for that video. All it is, is a black man calling other blacks ni**ers if they support Obama. If he really had a point or self respect, he wouldn't need to call his own people stupid ni**ers. Ignorant trash comes in all colors, including White. Want to try again?
One of the insane - gosh, it is so wonderful to see your creative and thought provoking posts.
Namecalling is supposed to be a violation of the "CODE OF ETHICS". But apparently, that is just a code to impose on conservatives, not liberals.
Tyler??
Tyler????????
Tyler???????????????????????????????????????????
Don't cry bitch... you rain insults all day. Don't dish it out if your panties bunch up so easily.
It's wonderful that Barack Obama loves his wife in such a tender, sweet way.
If only he loved OUR country in the same way, but his give a sh*t factor for the US is broken. No way in hell will he be re-elected.
Tender? Sure, that is why they are always on separate trips in separate areas of the world. She always "has to be" somewhere else.
Gee, that sure is love - yep.
It is a symbol of their lack of love for the USA.
No Mo O in 2012. Vote out the Socialist Dictator and his significant Other.
