Being a parent of two daughters the President also praised the team, and the WNBA, for serving as inspiration to a generation of young girls who dream of playing professional sports.

This was The Shock’s first visit to the White House since 2004 (they did not come after the ’06 title) had a lot of pleasant surprises. Though the actual ceremony was just a few minutes, the total time spent in Washington was 12 hours.

On July 18, 2009, in Hollywood Obama, by Obama Watcher

Stephen Colbert went to Iraq and went to basic training. He did everything but cut his hair off. Under direct orders from Barack Obama Colbert gets a head shaving from General Ray Odiern.
Obama is funny in this saying his ears are big and he likes a close cropped haircut. Very amusing.
