Humble and Hungry

President Obama wants to keep Aziz Ansari humble.

"Malia is a big 'Parks and Recreation' fan," the President revealed Thursday night's fundraiser at ABC Kitchen in NYC. "So having Aziz here is like the only thing she thinks is worth me doing. I want to thank him for what he said earlier. I know he's backstage, but I just want to say that I have more Twitter followers than you, man."

The numbers don't lie...@AzizAnsari: 1,687,739 followers vs. @BarackObama: 12,811,015 followers

"I just want to keep him humble and hungry," Obama continued. "We all need somebody who does that! Fortunately, I have Michelle."

Red White and Blues

The East Room of the White House was transformed into an intimate blues club on Tuesday night for a concert featuring blues all-stars B.B. King, Buddy Guy and BARACK OBAMA?

A (surprise) performance by Obama came at the end of the concert - hosted by Michelle Obama to celebrate Black History Month and American songwriting - as the ensemble was playing "Sweet Home Chicago."

Buddy Guy egged on the president, reminding him that he'd sang part of an Al Green tune recently and Obama seemed compelled to comply. Perhaps since the song is the anthem of his home town...or maybe because he's just can't help but be a rock star.

"Come on, baby don't you want to go," the president sang out, handing off the mic to B.B. King momentarily, and then taking it back to tack on "Sweet Home Chicago" at the end.

I don't even know how to caption this photo

Cheers! I'll drink to that!


A Joe Biden Beer Koozie?

"Need to keep your soda cold? The Vice President's got you covered. Literally. Our Joe Biden can holder is made in the USA. $10"

If you feel like you MUST have one, you can pick up a koozie on the Obama website.

just plain awesome

President Obama sang an Al Green song last night at the Apollo Theater...that's in New York. Where awesome things happen.

“Ahhhhm ... so in love with you,” he sang. Then he grinned and said, “Those guys didn’t think I would do it.” He did not specify who “those guys” were.

Mitt Romney just can't compete with that #notbadmrpresident
