Photo Essay Obama: Father-In-Chief He may be the president, but to daughters Malia and Sasha he's just "Dad."
On a muggy Saturday just before Father's Day, President Barack Obama took Sasha, 8, and Malia, 10, to The Dairy Godmother, a frozen custard shop just outside Washington.
The president snacked on vanilla custard with hot fudge and toasted almonds in a cup, said the shop's owner, Liz Davis. Sasha ordered a brownie sundae treat with vanilla custard, hot fudge and chocolate sprinkles. Malia walked out of the shop, eating the remains of a waffle cone with vanilla frozen custard.
During his 15-minute stay, Obama also shook hands with customers and posed for pictures. Obama left the shop with some puppy treats for the family's dog, Bo.

- Well, at least they pretense of real journalism is done with. The media now doesn't even pretend to do the job of the media in this country. They are supposed to be watch dogs for us, not lap dogs for the messiah.
Disgusting. - Reply to this comment

- The love affair will soon end. Taxes will be out of sight, inflation will be terrible, and just like Jimmy Carter he will be gone.Obamas have always losded the wagon for the tax payer, he just does not understand somebody has to pull it.

- Sorry, but sounds like you're talking about Bush. You know, the guy who gave huge tax cuts to the wealthy and increased spending by record numbers. Did you object to that? Who was pulling the wagon then? Oh, that's right...the middle class at the expense of the rich!
- This ranks right up there with the one they had a few days ago...

- Whatever happened to President Pelosi and VP Reid? They have been side lined because the dems know they have a poll rating of nothing. Bring them back, 2010 looks much better all the time.

- Why is this particular topic, Obama, Daughters Snack On Frozen Custard, listed first under the heading, and more importantly why is it listed at all under the heading, "Latest in Politics"? Did Obama take a bribe from the custard store owner?
Big deal, he has kids. Doesn't make him a great leader anymore than it makes him a great father. Trying to impress the American people with this "come see the softer side" only worked with Sears. Sorry CBS, but this is not only wasting my time, but it is truly insulting to everyone's intelligence level. - Reply to this comment

- So CBS wasted your time you spent responding about this article? It's Father's day, so why is this not an appropriate story?. Ok, you don't like Obama, it's still father's day. You don't like fathers either? GEZZZ even I, who can't wait to see Bush tried for war crimes, would have had enough composure not to make nasty comments about Bush and a father's day story.
- This story just about sums up the Medias one sided love affair with all things Obama. When will journalists start acting like journalists.

- I thought the same thing during Bush's crusade to invade Iraq. Journalist just parroted the WH taking points as if it were the gosphel. The media failed us then and you said NOTHING! Let's face it, you're just a sore looser and you hate the fact we have a popular competent DEMOCRATIC president! Get over it!!!

Do we REALLY need to know about everything the Obamas do? Last week the president swatted a fly and it became headline news! It's ridiculous!
I can agree with you on this. Things must be really slow for them to be reporting on this cr*p. WHO CARES! I'm surprised we aren't being notified when they are washing their hands or going to the bathroom, too! - Reply to this comment

- This must be the reason why his "impressions" on Iran were only written, and then delivered to the news agencies. Nice.

- Do even know of the American-Iranian relationship over the past 60 years? Are you even aware that the CIA helped ovethrew a democraticaly elected government there in the 1950's and replaced it with a monarchy? Are you even aware that a knee-jerk reaction by Obama would undermine the opposition in Iran and give the hardliners even more reason to crack down harder? Of course not! You're a republcian!
- Hey hakori, I guess the CIA was a little late to the party if you claim they helped overthrow a democratically elected government in the 1950s.
According to wikipedia, it was a coup in 1921 that installed Pahlavi. His son then was aided by the US to stay in power until JIMMY CARTER refused to help him - then he was deposed by an Ayatollah, who condoned the holding of persons with diplomatic immunity for 444 days.
So, you see, we know Iranian history. And it STINKS to high heaven!
And for the record it was NOT a democracy that was overthrown.
Get it right liberal - or learn to lie better, ok.
Per Wikipedia: "In 1921, Reza Shah, an officer in Iran's Persian Cossack Brigade, used his troops to support a successful coup against the government of the Qajar dynasty. Within four years he had established himself as the most powerful person in the country by suppressing rebellions and establishing order. In 1925, a specially convened assembly deposed Ahmad Shah Qajar, the last ruler of the Qajar dynasty, and named Reza Khan, who earlier had adopted the surname Pahlavi, as the new shah.
"Mohammad Reza Pahlavi replaced his father on the throne on September 16, 1941.
- OMG Does this mean he's saved the universe? I know my family will sleep really sound just knowing that Obamas kids like frozen custard!The democrats are just so proud that his kids prefer this frozen desert over bananna's that they wanted the whole wide world to know.But I'll still betcha unemployment is over 9% today.

- Yes unemployment is way up because of GWB, but your memory is obvioulsy short and selective. I'm reporting your racist comment about involving bananas and Obama's kids. This sort of right-wing bigotry WILL stop!
- Another good example of outstanding professional journalism from CBS.
