    He may be the president, but to daughters Malia and Sasha he's just "Dad."

(AP)  The first family was in the mood for something sweet - something like vanilla custard, fudge and sprinkles.

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.

With the U.S. in a financial crisis and this Prez trying to 'change' everything any past President enacted (Democrats & Republicans alike), we are suspose to be excited about yogurt, dates, swingsets, vegetable gardens and a dog.

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.

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!

sorry....at the expense of the middle class...the rich got a free ride! Taxes need to be increased on those who can most afford to pay them! Of course you'll pull that GOP mantra out that they create the jobs....RIGHT! The jobs they send overseas! Get a clue!

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.

Just wait until Michelle Obama decides the 'decor' in the White House does not suit her tastes..

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.

We have have to ask Wiilie about that!

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!!!
